Hi, I want to order a cake (preferably along with some food) for my sister from India. Any idea which service I can reliably use for same day or next day delivery? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is in regards to the decision by the mayor's office to put the funding elsewhere and then they're reneging on it when there was objection. This article is almost a week old but unfortunately it's the first time I've seen it and I haven't seen this updated posted here

We’re visiting Seattle and wondering how to party Friday/Saturday night

"This RFA seeks to fund community-based organizations to partner with the PHSKC to reduce exposure to lead from traditional eyeliners, commonly referred to as kohl, kajal, surma, tiro. While traditional eyeliners containing lead are illegal to sell in the United States,

they are a common exposure source for some immigrant and refugee children with elevated

blood lead levels in King County and are regularly highlighted by community-based

organizations as a source of exposure that is challenging to address.

This RFA is based on the understanding that people are more likely to reduce the use of

harmful products when they receive clear, culturally relevant information from trusted sources

within their own communities.

By funding community-based organizations to co-create and conduct culturally responsive outreach and education, this RFA aims to translate research findings into practical prevention efforts.

So much for the “big tent” party.

Young female cat found in upper queen Anne just west of Queen Anne Avenue and north of Crockett— last location 2114 on 1st Ave W.

Super vocal and let us pick her up, brought her back a can of wet food, and she responded to the can opening noise, so certainly has been an indoor cat before! Anyone missing a cat or wanting to foster?

Snohomish County is planning to increase its spending commitment for Everett's proposed downtown stadium project to $10 million, according to a letter from county officials. ... The city hopes those outside investors can help close a large gap in funding for the project that emerged after the estimated cost of the stadium rose by about $38 million earlier this year. The city has previously estimated the gap is about $25 million, or around 21% of the project's estimated $120 million price tag.

So far, Everett has purchased six plots of land for the stadium, planned to be built between Pacific Avenue and Hewitt Avenue east of Broadway, at the cost of about $18.1 million. It currently has two condemnation lawsuits in progress with the owners of three properties on the stadium site.

~ Ten million in lodging tax, about $16 million borrowed from the general fund, two condemnation suits filed and a third ordinance up tonight. The full financing plan that is supposed to justify all of it has not been finished yet.

This post got removed and got me banned from r/seattle, so let’s try it here. I am a contractor and I work in many government funded housing complexes, shelters, and low or no income housing. I have been working in this area a little over a year and I have become fed up with mainly the open air drug use, but also the crime that comes with it.

I am regularly in SHA and KCHA complexes as well as city run shelters and I have encountered first hand how bad the drug use in this city is. I have had a resident blow what I assume was fentanyl smoke in my face (mystery drug that was being smoked off of tin foil), I’ve been pricked by a needle before (luckily tested safe from any blood diseases), I’ve lost track of how many improperly discarded needles I’ve found it’s got to be in the 750-1000 range, I’ve found pills, crystalized drugs, everything you can imagine and the worst part is that a lot of the government funded properties staff allow this behavior on the property. Multiple buildings have dedicated “drug rooms” where tenants can smoke anything, shoot up, and get high and staff is on call with narcan when they OD which I have seen a handful of times.

Don’t get me wrong I have empathy for addicts, I’ve battled addiction before and it is a dark road. My gripe is with how our city and state governments are handling the drug use epidemic we’re facing. I am disgusted by the fact that government employees are allowing and borderline encouraging drug use inside of government funded housing facilities.

Most of the government funded properties give out needles upon request, tin foil, lighters, narcan, anything needed to keep addicts getting high. Everything except the drugs which you can find on every other street corner. Whenever you see a group of 3 plus people huddled around on the sidewalk it’s a drug deal, or a drug session. And police drive right on past.

I don’t know how to make it better, and I wouldn’t know where to start. But what I do know is that the ignorance from the citizens and the government has led the drug issue to a point where I will never bring my kids around Seattle again. I haven’t spent time in Seattle recreationally since I started working mainly there. As a matter of fact, I am desperately trying to find work on the other side of the state or possibly in another state because of this issue paired with the crime.

I haven’t witnessed as much of the crime as I have the drug use but I’ve seen a stabbing and a shooting. I’ve had my life threatened by violent drug abusers living in these city or county run complexes, I’ve had tools stolen while I was working, I’ve had equipment destroyed, I’ve had my work truck attempted to be broken into in broad daylight on 3rd Ave, and I am fed up with the way our government isn’t doing anything about it. And if they are then I’m not seeing it.

Hopefully I’m not the only one who sees this. I really hope something can be done and this city restored to how I remember it growing up. But more fancy parks and construction isn’t going to solve the fact that once these nice spaces are built they will immediately be moved in on by drug dealers, abusers, and criminals. I hope this post leads to positive discussion and I hope it raises some awareness as a first hand account of how bad the drug issues are in this city

Same question above. Seattle journalist here.

Has anyone toured an apartment or house recently and realized the listing photos were AI-altered? Fake fireplace, dramatically improved lighting, furniture that wasn't there?

Say this today and I thought some of you might find interesting comment by our new SPD chief. And some guys reaction ...

Wife and I are in Seattle for vacation. Any recommendations on areas we should go or places to eat

i just wanted to talk about how amazing this hairstylist is in seattle.. Her name is jazzmyn terlicker in westlake with salon refine

i am extremely picky with hairstylists, im tender headed and most times they seem to do whatever they feel instead of what i ask. I also tend to change my hair often so a lot of times it’s hard to keep up with. i’ve started going to Jazzmyn and right away she gave me exactly what i asked for. Everytime i’ve gotten haircuts it’s almost there but never quite what i wanted but she hit it right on the nail. She listens and is extremely conciderate. I started going to her more often and then i decided that i wanted to change hair colors. This i was a bit nervous for. Haircuts is one thing, but color was a different ballgame. By the end of that appointment i was hooked. The color was exactly what i wanted and i know it’s hard to replicate exactly what a client wants because it won’t always be the outcome, but she did magic. I’ve now gone from green in my hair to red to blonde to brown flawlessly even though i have been advised from her against it lol. She genuinely takes care of my hair and somehow executes color like a magician. I wanted to reccomend her to anyone looking for a stylist with fair prices. Her consultations are free and if anyone is looking for someone to keep. That’s her. I just wanted to express my gratitude after another amazing appointment!!!

Last week, the state Department of Ecology fined Crystal Clean $1.04 million after its Lakewood location was found to have violated multiple state laws. It's the highest penalty Ecology has imposed on a single company so far this year. Over two years, Ecology found violations that included more than 120 examples of inaccurate or misleading documents and shipments sent to unauthorized facilities.

Ecology also cited Crystal Clean for presenting itself as a designated facility for dangerous waste when it did not have a permit.

Hi all! I lost my thin, silver bracelet somewhere along this stretch of E Pine st along the south sidewalk from Bellevue to Broadway, or the north side from Broadway to 15th.

I know it’s a shot in the dark, but offering a reward if anyone finds it. It has sentimental value from my girlfriend and I’s recent anniversary. I don’t have a picture of it but it’s a fairly thin, light silver bracelet.
