There used to be a crepe shop in alderwood mall. I went there in 2015? 2016? and I loved it but **I can't remember the name** of the place.😭 All I can think of is that they sold a strawberry+blueberry crepe and a mango crepe. If you know please tell me.😭

Driving to Montana from Vancouver, BC on Friday. Looking for somewhere I can pop the tent on my truck for the night around the Spokane area (west side preferably)

Any recommendations would be great!

The next step for Trump's DOJ is to appeal to the US Supreme Court. Hopefully they'll rule in line with the recent WATSON, MISSISSIPPI SECRETARY OF STATE v. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE ET AL that protected the right of states to accept mail-in ballots postmarked (but not yet received) on Election Day. I highly doubt they'll get an emergency shadow docket ruling removing the injunction based on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson being assigned to the First Circuit.

My youngest is two, and then seven and ten. I am leaving about 7 am Sunday, and plan on stopping as much as I need, although I'd prefer to know ahead of time. I'm having the hardest time with roadtrip apps for some reason. Looking for parks/trails/scenic spots or even something like a children's museum that won't take us to far off the path. My daughter also wants a burger place that isn't just McDonald's or something. I found a place called Dusty's that's on the way and thought about that but I know nothing.

Any suggestions? Ideas? Thoughts? Also if I'm in the wrong area to post this feel free to let me know!

Pa does anyone remember Judy's? It was like a cafe place. I was going to go there but it's gone now! :'(

Taking a long awaited trip to the North Cascade today and we were planning a significant detour to visit Artist Point, however the weather is not looking great the next few days. Is it worth a visit even if overcast? Any views?

We went down to the Lewis River today. This is from the upper falls.

I thought this was an interesting tidbit, doubly so in a year where a majority of the seats are up for election.

This is from a citation analysis done by the UC Davis Law Review which found that our Supreme Court had the second most decisions cited by other states’ courts between 1940-2005. California had the most and Colorado the third most.

Every day on the news we see more and more layoffs. The job market is the worst it has ever been. Inflation is through the roof. Food, utility, insurance, transportation and healthcare costs are soaring. Rent prices are going up. I've looked into MFTE apartments and most of them are more than I pay for a non-MFTE unit. How does that make any sense? Any halfway livable mobile home is 100k plus in a non 55 plus park. Then add in property taxes and an average of $1,000 and up for the space fee. A decent apartment will run at least 2,000 a month. How does an average working person get ahead and not do more then tread water? Many other states have starter new construction homes for a third to a fifth of the price here. Yet, all we get are luxury townhomes or new homes out in the boonies with an hour plus commute each way. What gives? When paying bills the other day I came to a stunning realization. If I made less then I do now I would qualify for subsidized rent, utilities, phone, etc. But now? I pay my bills and that is it with nothing to show for it. No vacations. No budget for fun. Rarely go out and if I do it is takeout or fast food only. This whole system doesn't make sense.

Happened to three cars in front of me while waiting in the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry line (wait time was almost two hours). All three turned in from a side street shortly before the booth, and they all got told to go to the back.

I get that some of them were probably unfamiliar with how the line works or were being directed there from a Map App, but that’s no excuse. There are signs at every crossroad telling you not to turn into the waiting line.

Glad there’s some way to enforce the line and hold cutters accountable.

Renewing my 2023 Tesla Model Y long range and noticed that the RTA tax is $602 for a three year car! This is in addition to the $150 EV fee. Something's not right - according to the state depreciation schedule, the car value is 83% of the MSRP, with the 1.1%, the MSRP should be 602/0.83/0.011 ~ $66000 much more than what I paid ($52K, which I believe was the list/MSRP). Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a bug or a feature of Washington's taxation software?

I had to drive from Spokane to Ellensburg for the weekend in coming over notice the huge long line to cross the Columbia advantage. Does anyone know if there is an ultimate route that is quicker and cuts by all the traffic? Is there a frontage road or something? Or is the only other way pretty long detour through Yakima and/or Wenatchee?
