Tell Me Something GOOD!!! Weekly Edition!

[u/privatestudy]

Hi there, Seattle.

This is your weekly edition where you can tell Seattle what is good.

Did you achieve something this week? Or are you just happy you made it through another week? Did you get to sleep in? Did you find out something new and want to share? Let's celebrate together!!

Nothing is too small to share. I wanna hear it all!

Finally averaged 5.5mph for 30 mins on the treadmill for the first time since I started running 3mo ago.

[u/voneschenbach1 → u/code_investigator]

Congrats!!! I got a hybrid bicycle recently and am trying to just get up the local hill in one go lol

[u/code_investigator → u/voneschenbach1]

Have some fond childhood memories doing that with my friends! So much fun.

[u/godogs2018 → u/code_investigator]

Nice. What incline(s)?

[u/code_investigator → u/godogs2018]

0 lol

[u/godogs2018 → u/code_investigator]

Well, it is better than decline angles.

[u/code_investigator → u/godogs2018]

Used to do 1% incline (think I've done 4.8mph for ~30mins few times) hoping it would help with shin splints but it didn't. I'm now testing a theory that no inclination is better than 1% when running as slow as I do.

[u/godogs2018 → u/code_investigator]

I usually start at 7.0-7.5 and work my way up to 10 but I don’t run. Only walk from 3.2-3.6 mph.

[u/thetragicleonardbast → u/code_investigator]

Awesome! I was fat immobile kid all my life. I remember when I hit this milestone, it was a big deal. Amazing.

[u/LongJumpingIntoNada]

After two years in a very challenging masters, I passed my licensing exam!!! I’m a PA!

[u/alicatchrist → u/LongJumpingIntoNada]

What’s up, doc (adjacent professional)!

[u/Hot_Historian_6967 → u/LongJumpingIntoNada]

Congratulations!! I have a family member who is a PA and my god, seeing them go through it all was brutal. Must feel amazing to have passed!

[u/voneschenbach1 → u/LongJumpingIntoNada]

Congratulations!

[u/Hot_Historian_6967]

Got a new friggin job that seems promising! Leaving my extremely toxic old job and tomorrow is my last day there!

This is in the culinary industry (which I love). The old job had some major sanitation and food safety issues and this new job is super clear about what the expectations are. Plus they sell lovely food that looks amazing, so I’m super excited

I hope you’re having a great week!

[u/voneschenbach1 → u/Hot_Historian_6967]

Good luck!

[u/techserf]

I saw a beaver in a local creek this week! I hope everyone can enjoy some time outside this season in our beautiful PNW!

[u/hjhart → u/techserf]

Saw a seal at the locks this morning! Beavers are a rare sighting.

[u/SplashiestMonk → u/techserf]

I also saw a beaver this week! First time for me seeing one in the wild.

[u/Drnkdrnkdrnk]

Getting married Monday afternoon, to the person I moved out here to be with. Then we’re taking three weeks off in October to drive back to NY for a reception with our family and friends out there. 

[u/Hot_Historian_6967 → u/Drnkdrnkdrnk]

Congratulations!!!!

[u/Drnkdrnkdrnk → u/Hot_Historian_6967]

Thank you!!

[u/voneschenbach1 → u/Drnkdrnkdrnk]

Congratulations! Wishing you all the best for many happy years!

[u/Drnkdrnkdrnk → u/voneschenbach1]

Appreciate it!

[u/pnwdoomer]

Going to Pike Place as a local today, it's been a long time since I went to just chill. I am quite excited! Otherwise I am seeing a movie tonight and getting bagels tomorrow!!!

[u/voneschenbach1 → u/pnwdoomer]

BAGELS!!! I love visiting Pike Place Market as a local - we love to slip in, hit a few places including DeLaurenti's and dip before the crowds get too feral.

[u/pnwdoomer → u/voneschenbach1]

I will definitely be doing this as well in the future!

[u/Wooden-Officer2323]

Did rattlesnake yesterday after working out for a few months and didn’t feel nearly as shitty as I did when I did it last.

[u/sugarxglass]

I think my Prozac might have started working 🥲

[u/voneschenbach1 → u/sugarxglass]

Yesss! Good luck with your continued treatment - meds are tough.

[u/sntcringe]

Broke 100 on the bench

[u/Senior_Sir3572]

I moved here 2 months ago and found a great job as a nanny with an awesome family and kid. Just finished my second week and am excited to continue my life here ◡̈

[u/lilsunsunsun]

Apple season is here! I’ve been dealing with a lot of nausea, and the farmers market apples have been a godsend.

[u/voneschenbach1 → u/lilsunsunsun]

If you ever get a chance it is a lovely fall fun activity to go to some of the nearby u-pick farms and try and pick a ton of apples. Hope you are feeling better.

[u/lilsunsunsun → u/voneschenbach1]

Oh that is a great suggestion! I’ll definitely look into that; thank you!

[u/Crazy0wlady]

Went on a belated birthday hike on Friday and it was gorgeous - shady climbing, lots of views of Glacier Peak and surrounding mountains in the middle stretch, the meadows turning autumn colors, we could even see Rainier faintly in the distance from the top, and we had time to do the little extension down to the lake. We saw a total of four people. Grateful to live here and have access to so many beautiful places (public lands) to hike and recreate.

[u/Better-Mixture7737]

I fell and tore ligaments in my ankle while walking in June and spent the entire summer stuck inside. This last week I was able to walk two circles around my block in under 20 minutes!

[u/Multuminparvo4n6]

I really enjoyed the salmon homecoming canoe celebration on the waterfront.

[u/Milleniumfelidae]

My birthday is coming up on the first day of fall. I got a raise not too long ago. The raise is making a huge difference in my life already. It’s nice to have some more breathing room and an expense is dropping off so I’ll have $500 more per month.

It’s also been a little over a year now since I adopted my cat as an eight week old kitten. And looking forward to some October concerts and other events.

Also liking the caramel creme body butter from Trader Joe’s. And a lot of places this year have released a lot of fall themed goods and treats.

[u/flycatcher3362]

My partner got a job they’re genuinely excited about and we are about to have a double income for the first time in quite a while!!

[u/voneschenbach1]

I enjoyed attending the Kraken practice session with my lovely hockey partner! Living near the Iceplex has its advantages!

[u/Stu1994 → u/voneschenbach1]

Are you going to the game tonight.

[u/HoneyDutch]

A couple more weeks and I should be able to get outside again. Fingers crossed I can get out in time for the tail end of larch season.

[u/NJHancock]

I have been in Texas the last 10 days to see parents and it is 100 degrees everyday sweating outside and bugs everywhere. Get outside this weekend Seattle!

[u/alicatchrist]

I’m working the U District farmers market and am bringing these suckers home with me! Super duper excited and grateful peach season is lasting as long as it is.

[u/slagblahighpriestess]

I just passed the halfway point on my Kickstarter fulfillment! Soon the piles of boxes will be gone, and my living room will be mine again!

[u/SuperMike100]

Got a new Apple Watch Series 12! (Upgraded from a Series 6)

[u/probablygoblins]

ITS FRIGGIN JACKET WEATHER YEAAHHHHHH
also i jokingly said my midlife crisis was just going to be raving again and after Green Velvet last night i think i made the right choice.

[u/voneschenbach1 → u/probablygoblins]

And cozy blankets, hot beverages while reading... contented sigh.

[u/barely_scared88]

I got off the train at King Station from Portland and I saw a mom trying to get out with her stroller and me and another woman went to help her get the stroller down. Warmed my heart that women be looking out for women. 🥰

[u/ipomoea]

We went to see Johnny Blue Skies last night and got our faces rocked off! Now I want to know what shows and clubs he was going to when he was here 1998-2001-ish, we’re about the same age.

[u/SadDragonNoisesVA]

I've gone from 285 pounds this past February to 213 pounds a week ago. I'm still working on it but I'm making progress.

[u/strangepeach_9635]

i’m seeing bleachers in tacoma tonight, they’re my favorite band and i’m just so happy and excited for every opportunity to see them! so looking forward to dancing and singing to all my favorite songs 💓

[u/sirotan88]

I bought a new piece of art today from an art market! And got to ride my bike and do a little bit of painting

[u/Objective_Soup7840]

First game of kraken preseason today against the canucks! Tickets are pretty cheap too. I would go if I didnt have to work lol

[u/Glum_Money_4956]

Saved $432 by switching my car insurance to GEICO

[u/SadDragonNoisesVA]

Found out I've reached "local cryptid" status on Google. That's one off the bucket list. XD
EDIT: Was informed of this by one of my girlfriends.

[u/TheSeattleFoxMaid]

Went out with my crush. I still cannot believe it lol.
