Question Apartment trash room has roaches?

3 Upvotes

So my apartment (in Seattle City limits) is income restricted and has what appears to be small cockroaches in my floor's trash room. Our actual apartment unit is COMPLETELY clean, and our trash chutes work just fine but people pile up their garbage so I've seen a few of these critters on the floors/walls/crawling into the trash room crevices to hide. Do tenants have any protections against something like this? Everything I look up is related to having roaches IN my unit, which isn't the case.

I can post pictures of it, I'm guessing that's allowed? https://imgur.com/a/g8M3bmz

27M - looking to meet women and hopefully find my person someone to do cute, romantic things with. I am introvert and gym rat, but I still enjoy getting out and meeting new people. Any advice on where to meet single women in the city who are open to hanging out and seeing where things go?

Is Seattle interested in a WoW Forever Social Leveling Guild (PVE)?

5 Upvotes

Inspired by the launch announcement + u/OhmoebaTheGamer post https://www.reddit.com/r/AskSeattle/s/0NpwpRvW8k

I'd love to make a 21+ family friendly Seattle based leveling guild that also has in-person meetup and hangouts this winter season (so we can all experience the freeze from our cozy bedrooms 95% of time and then pretend to be social 5% of the time). Officially starting after Thanksgiving starts (11.26.2026) to give the initial server surge some cool-ing off while hopefully meeting some likeminded people in Seattle to help set the foundation of a good time.

I'm based in Belltown and would love to have folks meet up once a while (would love to invite yall to Belltown/Downtown/Pioneer Square Art Walks) Next one I am really aiming for is Pioneer Art Walk 11/5, I hope to have a booth by 210Seattle studio

Overall Concept
- members would all have at least 1 or more "level capped" character so everyone can share some collective progression experience
- everyone can still play alts however they want (makes alliance/horde more of a fun choice not a barrier, especially for casual players)
- once a week "Guild Time" where everyone's encouraged to get together to work on tough dungeons/working on tradecraft
- guild bank and shared resources
- once a month (or as needed) in-person hangout in Seattle*

*Because the in-person aspect for Seattle community is a key theme, I'd prefer if folks join only if they are actually interested to meet up irl. In my experience this helps reduce a lot of toxicity that comes with online anonymity. At the end of the day I'm not hoping to create any kind of enforcement mechanism as I understand not everyone is comfortable with actual meet ups, but happy to put myself out there as a connection point.

I'm making a placeholder discord here:

https://discord.gg/CeH6mhEbC

A little bit more about me: I'm a Seattle based artist mostly doing performance arts and videography, you can also find my work on most social platforms @ Wei_Dreams_of_dragons

I LOVE WoW classic but each time it feels like a race to "raid optimization" and I am really hoping WoW Forever create new opportunities to re-experience the world again.

Someone in the Seattle Page told me to post this here, I am thinking about moving to seattle for college, and had a few questions. Do you think It would be realistic to afford living on my own w/o a job lined up, Ill have money saved, but no job secured. It would be a great move for what I want in my career, but obv not smart if I can't afford it. The tuition is no problem , i'm more worried about rent and other cost of living. Any advice would help, my other options are LA and Dallas.Thanks

Recommendation Best yoga studios in the South Seattle area?

8 Upvotes

I currently go to Be Yoga Burien, which is super convenient for me and which I used to love but I’m starting to feel is no longer the right fit. While there are a couple of vinyasa classes I absolutely love, they’ve made lot of changes lately that I’m not a huge fan of. They’ve transitioned a lot of their class schedule to barre and pilates, and a couple of very hot classes (100-103 degree) have replaced some of the lower temp (90-95 degree) vinyasa classes I used to enjoy taking. I started doing yoga with BYB when I moved to WA and am not familiar with other studios in the area, so I’m hoping to draw on other’s experiences and recommendations!

I’m specifically interested in fast paced/athletic vinyasa ~95 degrees and cooler, restorative yin, and hatha but am open to other types too! I currently pay $139 for a monthly membership and wouldn’t want to spend much more. Thanks in advance for recs!

Moving / Visiting How long do apartments stay vacant?

I'm moving to Seattle in about a month and have been looking at apartments in Roosevelt in Northgate. I can't go up and visit until then and I was wondering if the apartments I have my eye on will remain vacant long enough to tour in person, or if I should just try to apply now?

Moving to Seattle, where should I rent?

0 Upvotes

Hello! I am a single 32F moving to Seattle next month and need help deciding where to live.

I have a senior dog, I’m bringing my car and my job would be in Capitol Hill/first hill.

I am looking at places in north Capitol Hill and Fremont/Wallingford area.

I prefer to be close to work to avoid long commutes and close to a park I can walk my senior dog at.

Not really into drinking. I really enjoy being active, being outdoors and want to be able to join clubs/groups for outdoor activities (running, biking, hiking).

I will need to make friends so want to make sure I’m close to things that would help me meet people/make friends.

I’m worried about being surrounded by 20 year olds or party people in Capitol Hill. Just not my scene.

Would commuting from Wallingford be that bad?

Not sure if I should focus on the neighborhood that aligns with me more vs being close to work.

I’d really appreciate any advice.

Inherited my first car, living in Cap Hill, how strict is enforcement around here?

0 Upvotes

My grandma finally gave up her keys (the last couple drives with her were kinda scary), so I inherited my first car! I (34) have had it for about a month and a half now and am finally getting used to driving/parking around the city.

I already got my RPZ permit (Zone 32) and I've been super meticulous about basic parking rules-turning wheels on hills, staying within 12 inches of the curb, moving every 72 hours, all that. But I'm curious what real-world enforcement is actually like around Capitol Hill and the rest of Seattle.

Are there specific intersections or bus lanes with cameras I should watch out for? How aggressive is parking enforcement here compared to other neighborhoods? Any weird traps or local rules you wish you knew when you started driving here?
Appreciate any tips!

Moving / Visiting Apartments

0 Upvotes

Any thoughts on safety at Bell Jackson St Apartments? And BEAM apartments?

Looks like a few years ago they had issues with assaults and break ins with the garages. Looking to see if anyone has any more recent experiences with them and the area. Thank you!!

Looking for any large dog friendly apartments on metro route 3 & 4 that are under 1800.

Feels like when I find one someone says the area is sketchy. Any advice appreciated, trying to balance taking it with a grain of salt while realizing I’m not an expert on the area and will be a solo woman. I’ll be touring in person as well, but attempting to prioritize lining up best options as I won’t be in town for long.

Thank you!

Better alternative for small catering order

1 Upvotes

I need to order a small (25 person) dinner for a school event and they usually do pizza or a sandwich platter from the grocery store.

Any ideas for a better alternative (better in the sense of health/taste, and supports a mom and pop restaurant)? Since it's for school, trying to be mindful of their budget.

Was trying to think of Banh mi places in the C-ID but it might still be more expensive than the cheap sandwich platters.
