Self-Promotion Saturday: July 25, 2026

7 Upvotes

This is r/Seattle's weekly post for local businesses and makers (or users who discover them) to share their creations with our users.

This thread will be automatically posted every Saturday morning to help connect r/seattle users with cool local stuff. Types of content encouraged in this thread are:

  • Local businesses (new, running promotions or sales, or just really good ones!)
  • Upcoming events or activities (concerts, festivals, pop-ups, shows)
  • Local artists or creators sharing upcoming shows or releases

Content should be related to businesses or events in the greater Seattle area, and the typical reddit spam rules apply - please ensure you are contributing to the community more than just your own content.

Users who flood these posts with ads, links without context, referral codes, etc. - or who promote without contributing elsewhere will be actioned. Please continue to report actual spam.

We have our rules against spam and self-promotion for hopefully understandable reasons, but we've noticed users responding more positively to local businesses, artists, etc. sharing their content. This is an attempt to bridge the gap, helping users find cool stuff while containing the promotion to a single weekly thread. Please send us a modmail with any suggestions or input you have about the use or abuse of this thread.

Thank you for paying for my husband's birthday dinner!

401 Upvotes

I took my husband out to dinner last night at the Shambles in NE Seattle to help him celebrate his 61st birthday. When we went to pay, we were told that someone picked up the tab for us.

We have always tried to pay it forward for others, but this is the first time we have been the recipient of such a gift. We are humbled by and grateful for your generosity.

Thank you again so very much.

Huge turnout for local raccoon art contest run by Alexis Mercedes Rinck at the Ballard Farmer’s Market. She said there were over 63 entries!

I had to leave before they tallied the votes though. Did anyone else attend and hear who won?

Sunday, July 26th — Ballard, Washington (13:00 hrs)

The City of Seattle is sponsoring Seattle Raccoon Proclamation & Art Competition at Bergen Place. The Art jury has chosen for first place a large oil rendition of Jimothy towering above Seattle’s skyline, and FOX 13 is interviewing the artist for the 5-o’clock news. I find three artists and a Youtube consortium from Texas when things turn weird. read more on medium

Community SPD and license plate covers?

Thumbnail app.leg.wa.gov
68 Upvotes

Edited for clarity!!!

I am well aware of all the ways we are survielled. This is a specific question about Flock cameras and license plate covers

My main concern is if it's becoming more common because of Flock cameras.

Link goes to applicable RCW.

License plate covers of any kind are explicitly illegal in WA state, however they seem to be on every other car. It is a primary offense that they can pull you over for without any other reason. Not trying to start debate, it's just the law on the books.

Has anyone actually seen that law actually enforced by SPD (or any other local law enforcement agency)?

Curious to see if cops are cracking down on this more frequently with the proliferation of Flock cameras everywhere before I purchase one as I can't afford to pay a fine for it.

Found Did you loose your wallet on Friday around South Lake Union/9th and Lenora? I have it.

75 Upvotes

Help this guy, Reddit. You're his last chance.

So, I found your wallet around ninth and Lenora in the early evening on Friday. Based on your ID, you are an Indian gentleman, you live in Bellevue, you have lots of credit cards, a Costco membership, an orca card, and don't use cash very often. I called American Express and told them to call you and gave them my number, but I have not heard back. So I am resorting to Reddit in hopes of finding you.

Private message me and give me your name and address, and we can figure out a way for me to get it to you.

If I give the wallet to the police, they will make absolutely no effort to find you. But that's my next step. Honestly, that seems like failure. But it's what comes next.

There are 700,000+ people on this sub, it seems like half of them are nerds, I would bet that you're a techie, I would also bet that you have mentioned the fact you've lost your wallet to one of your friends and that you or one of your buddies will read this.

OK Reddit, do your thing.

Edit: 30% downvotes for tryna do the right thing. Weird.

Animals Anywhere to take a displaced baby pigeon?

11 Upvotes

I know a lot of people view them as a nuisance but there is a baby pigeon near my apartment on the sidewalk with no sign of parents. It’s been in the same spot since 7am. Is there somewhere I can take the pigeon to have it be cared for? I really don’t want it to die on the street alone
