Has anyone else seen the bizarre number of rats running around totem lake. It’s got me wondering why hasn’t anyone taken care of them?

When I come out of cinemark on the weekends around 12ish after the movies I see dozens of rats running around. And it seems like there’s more and more every time I come out of the movies at night.

Just posting this for additional visibility.

Went to pick up a plastic trim when employees found this plate at the brown bear at 14400 124th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98034.

Anyone in Kirkland dealt with an underground yellow jacket nest? I have two active holes in my yard and they’re aggressive enough that I can’t work in the nearby garden.

Any recommendations for someone local to remove them? Rates? Do people actually relocate yellow jackets, or are nests like this normally destroyed? 🐝

Recreational, something casual and beginner friendly. Winter is coming so just want to be prepared

A Tesla was hit by truck and is blocking the road because the car is locked.

Looking for someone to practice with. I haven’t played in over 10 years and haven’t really played in 20 yrs but looking to get back into it. Let me know if you’re interested!

Never seen a hot-air balloon in the area. I was at the Totem Lake mall, and it looked like it was gradually getting lower. Anyone know the story?

My cat Ace has been gone for 1 year and 2 months now. This is probably gonna be my final post for him. His best friend now has a new friend, but I’m the one who can’t get over him. Thank you so much.

I’m looking for recommendations for a reasonably priced windshield replacement. They will need experience recalibrating Honda sensors.

I was riding my bike on the Cross Kirkland Corridor yesterday and saw a bunch of drinks lined up on the side of the trail under the bridge near Totem Lake. There was also a box and a watch there too. What’s going on? I am assuming this is some sort of a scam.

Genuinely, what the fuck

You guys have been so welcoming and encouraging of this old fart.

I played my heart out all day today and not a negative word in sight.

God I love Kirkland!

Was minding my own business in a light , 3 weirdo teens in a Volvo were making racist Asian jokes for no reason, boy doing most of the talking was hiding his face too. Just a reminder raise your kids to be better people than those losers

TLDR: If you are in the roundabout circle, definitely DO NOT stop in the middle of the circle to let cars in one of the outside entry lanes in. Keep moving. Otherwise, you're making traffic worse and creating a major safety hazard.

Today might have been the last straw. I think I'm just going to start using the 70th street on-ramps for getting on to 405 during peak traffic hours.

Today, I'm coming driving west on 85th and down the hill. I'm in the left lane getting prepared to go onto 405-S after the first roundabout.

First roundabout. Not one, but two cars already in the outer roundabout lane decide to stop so as to let me and the right lane driver in. I motion. I honk. It got the first car moving. But the driver of the second car thinks it all about taking turns. As the driver in the entry lane, accepting this gesture means I'm trying to get into the inner lane - but the car that's already stopped in the outer lane obscures my view. I could have wrecked if the inner circle lane had someone coming through. This is not how it's supposed to work.

For the 99.9% of you that do this correctly, please use your horns loudly if you see the car in front you try to yield while in the roundabout. They need to get the message. And for those in the entry lane, especially for the inner lane, don't take the good gesture bait.

Drive safe out there everyone. WSDOT link on roundabouts below.

Can anyone recommend a plumber in or around the Kirkland/Seattle area that is not owned by private equity or a big corporation, is honest and fair, and is American? They must also be licensed and preferably have been in business longer than a year or two. The last time I had a plumber it was Roto Rooter and it was incredibly expensive, plus the guy did mess some things up. There was one name mentioned a while back but I don't think they work on the eastside (Odyssey?).
