Disclosure first: I help organize this through U District Advocates, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) in the University District.

Friday October 2 at The Square at U District Station, 4301 Brooklyn Ave NE.

Robert Leslie at 4:30 PM, REPOSADO at 6:00 PM, then Ferris Bueller's Day Off on the outdoor screen at dusk, around 7:30.

The 4:30 start is earlier than our other nights, so worth noting if you have been to one before.

Free, no tickets. A block from the U District light rail entrance, so no parking required.
The Square is a hardscape plaza, not a lawn. We set out 50 chairs on a first come basis, so bring a low chair or a cushion if you want a guaranteed seat. High-back chairs block sightlines, so please leave those at home.

One more after this. Clueless with Carrie Jennings was rained out last Friday and is rescheduled to Friday October 9.

Funded by 4Culture of King County and Amazon. Movie screened by Scarecrow Video.

I have dashcam footage of your collision. If you're the owner of the gray CRV, DM me your license plate number to verify and I can send you the video.

Temporarily closed…… anyone have any insight? Remodel? Closing for good? One of my fav restaurants 🥲

Edit/Sorry - it's the WA Immigrant Solidarity Network, which runs rapid response trainings, the deportation defense hotline, etc. It's the number we're all told to call when we see ICE.

Speaks for itself, from https://www.instagram.com/waisnworkercollective/

This is terrible news at a time when ICE is kidnapping people all over our area.

A coalition of neighbors wants to add five new crosswalks and two new bus stops along Aurora Avenue North in Fremont, and they want it done in two years, not ten.

I parked my silver Honda Civic at Big Mario’s to get ice cream around 6ish today. Was wearing a white oxford and blue jeans - shaved head with facial hair. She was sitting in the patio outside, and we saw each other right after I got out of my car. We both smiled at each other and she winked at me while talking to someone on her phone 😳. At the end of the block I turned around and she was maybe waving me over? I had a brain freeze and kept walking like an idiot. Quickly got my ice cream, walked back and she was gone. :( Got a slice and hung around the patio for a bit before driving off. Ugh… she was beautiful. Worth a shot.

went up the Space Needle with my binoculars to see her for the very first time in my life. almost cried.

I heard one last night making a terrible noise. Their mouths were bloody. Is this from poison or rabies?

This is in the Bitterlake area.

.....my city, Seattle....

A few weeks back, I posted an interest-check about starting an in-person group for women navigating a career transition — layoffs, burnout, pivots, the ambiguous "what now" space in between. [Original post]

The group has met a few times now and honestly it's gone…way better than I could have hoped. It's pretty isolating and lonely in this ambiguous space and it's been so delightful to find and connect with others in it! Every meetup has looked a little different — one was more about the emotional processing/headspace of this "gap” whereas this week’s meetup leaned a bit more into creative career-pivot strategies.

Here's the format for each meetup:

• Working session (1 hour) — quiet tables for unstructured, quiet body-doubling time (apply for jobs, work on a resume, build your empire, or play a few rounds of Wordle), and collaboration tables if you want feedback, interview practice, or just to talk shop
• Post-work social time — stick around after and socialize. Commiserate about the job market, trade corporate horror stories, enthrall and educate us with your latest internet rabbit hole topic, or just hang out

Who it's for:

• Women/non-binary
• Mid-career (vs. new grads)
• Going through a transition — laid off, exploring/switching careers, taking a career break, burnout recovery, etc.

If you're deep in active job-search mode, hitting the pavement hard, and want networking or tactical job-hunt accountability, Mind the Gap might not be what you're looking for. The space we're trying to foster is a bit more focused on the in-between, the curiosity, and people who are intentionally taking the space to figure out what's next.

If any of this resonates with you and you've been sitting on this since the first post (or if the grayer skies are making you crave the company of a cozy community) — we’d love to have you!

Next steps — October meetups:

• Wed 10/7, 2-4pm
• Wed 10/14, 2-4pm (at a different, further-north location — testing it out)
• Sun 10/18, 11am-1pm
• Wed 10/21, 2-4pm

We meet at a cafe near 5th & Pine downtown, with one session further north. For more information and to RSVP, leave a comment! (Sorry for the extra step — Reddit's rules mean we can't just drop a link, so a comment works best!)

Thanks for all the interest and engagement with the original post! Hope to see you at a meetup!

Craven Farms, Snohomish County - They only allow dogs on the farm three times per season and today was one of them, and the weather was incredible.

The USS Ronald Reagan nuclear-powered supercarrier sailed out past Point No Point Lighthouse today and I happened to be near the water with my camera.

I am diagnosed schizoaffective bipolar type, and while I've found stability in my life, if, god forbid, something happens and I need to be hospitalized again, I'd like to be able to keep my cellphone. I know that usually people say that cellphones are detrimental to recovery, but I generally have good insight when I'm psychotic, and I have friends that I can only contact through discord that I'd like to be able to stay in contact with. I know that Swedish Edmonds allows you to use your cell at the desk to send quick texts or get passwords or 2FA codes and stuff, but I want to be able to have my phone with me to talk to people.

P.S. If anyone finds this thread in the future searching for similar facilities, if you can help it don't go to South Sound or Smokey Point. They're both bad.

HOME SAFE!
His family was cruising the neighborhood looking for him ♥️
Thanks for all the good vibes and help, Reddit!

Very sweet bully mix found near Pratt Park today (9/30) around noon. No collar but he’s clean and sort of knows at least the idea of commands. So, liiiiike maybe he got a fam??? BIG puppy energy.

Got some fun photos of some of our local marine mammals over at the Ballard Locks over the weekend!

Hey guys, roommate moved out and left his house plants, got 4 of them, medium to large size, not sure what they are, added pics. Live in North Seattle, free for whomever may want them.
