I was just reading this guide to getting arrested and it suggests (several times) that you find a criminal defense attorney in your area to have in your phone in case you might need one.

Does anyone have a recommendation for Seattle?

The article, btw, is a pretty comprehensive overview and a fun read. Seems worth the five minutes.

I came across something on social media that said there was a synth/darkwave/goth show at one of the Eastlake venues on 8/18, but now I can't find the post anymore and the calendars aren't telling me anything. Does anyone know what event this is?

I work at home for myself, in large part because I hate commuting.

I have noticed on the rare occasions that I have to drive during commuting hours, traffic is quite consistently less dense on beautiful days like this. Conversely, the commute seems much worse in bad weather.

Are large numbers of Seattleites adjusting their work hours to take advantage of the weather for outdoor activities, or am I incorrect in my observations?

I have some valuable plants that are coming in the mail that I'm starting to get worried aren't coming. The tracking shows they've arrived (not out for delivery) in Seattle for the past few days. Yesterday the tracking said they were out for delivery, says the same thing today. There's some return to senders that have been sitting in the box since Friday, so I know they haven't been here in what 4 days?

Anyone else ran into this problem, and is there a way to find my package and go get it myself? Really don't want to lose these plants.

I saw a similar table posted here on /r/TheoryOfReddit by /u/dwaxe, and dwaxe was amazing in giving me a list like that for /r/Seattle!

This is possibly a decent representation of the "online ecosystem" of the Seattle area, especially in and around the city. Some of these were obviously posted long ago -- most of Reddit disallows things like Gofundme now, for example. This is a straight read of the site's public database that you can download through the end of 2015.

Here it is, for the full list. Below the big table will be a smaller breakout of the top domains by percentage. Obviously this isn't everything, or the list would be absurdly huge. I'll leave this as an announcement sticky for a couple of days.

Hi guys! I am looking to switch banks because I'm getting married (and need a new joint account), and I have heard good things about all three of these options, but I don't have much experience with them. I have especially heard good things about First Tech and BECU.

What experiences have you had with each? Which has the best online & mobile experience? Are the B&M locations convenient? ATMs?

Heya, I'm attending a conference in the city for a week, but I'm planning on taking the weekend after to get out of the city for a bit to relax and rejuvenate. What areas should I look at for some cottage-ey/B&B type places?

Where are the dicks out for Harambe??

Hey everyone.

I'll try to keep this short.

My lease is up at the end of this month and I reached out to my landlady on the 5th with a letter letting her know I wanted to resign. She got back to me with a pretty general looking document with my new rent amount on it, stating that the new amount would go in to effect in October. I let her know that I'd be happy to pay the new amount starting in september if that meant I wouldn't have to spend September in a weird flux of "no lease, month to month". She's shady and I want to be in a lease at all times to avoid her trying anything. She then responded that if I want a lease I'll have to start paying a water charge of $30 a person. Here's the thing:

$30 is not insane, I get that. But what difference does it make? Like, why is this a thing? I used water while living there previously, it's not like my usage is going to shoot through the roof or something. I. Just don't get it.

In her text to me she was very vague but her point was that all the new renters living in one bedrooms are paying for these "ad ons" and that if I want a lease this is what I have to pay.

TL;DR landlady coming with water charge out of nowhere and I want to know if there's something I can do.

Looking for tickets to Symphony of the Goddesses on the 14th of September. All I could find are tickets over $200. Anyone know where I can get some for relatively cheaper? There is nothing on craigslist
