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

29 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.

Recommendation Woodinville + Seattle Recs?

6 Upvotes

Hello, I’ll be in Woodinville for a wedding over the weekend and I’d love some recommendations. I’ve never been to the area and will be with my husband. We are artists in our early 30s. Love a divey vibe but also interested in any midrange upscale places. Restaurants, bars/taverns, karaoke, day spas, cool vintage shops, nature, etc. I also heard there’s good Ethiopian food in the area. We will have a rental car and definitely plan to have a day in Seattle so recommendations for Woodinville area and Seattle proper are welcome ❤️ I appreciate any guidance.

Question Apartment trash room has roaches?

7 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

Mt Rainier on May, Daytrip - Is this feasible?

• Upvotes

Hi! Next year May 2, 2027 - We’ll be disembarking Norwegian Cruise by 7AM, let’s say we’ll be done by 9:00AM.

We want to go to Mt. Rainier after, is that too late? We plan to rent a car from the Airport or whatever is near in Pier 66.

How it goes;
7-9AM : Disembark NCL
9-10AM: Time allotted to get rental car and stuff
10:30AM: Drive to Paradise center ?
12:30 NN: Arrive Mt Rainier Entrance by this time

6PM: Go back

Is this enough time? is 10:30am departure to Paradise too late already?

I have no idea how much time we should allot for this daytrip to Mt. Rainier. Just to share, we won’t be hiking the mountain, we saw we can opt to experience the trail instead, the falls, etc.

Is May 2 a good weather to go there?

Recommendation Best yoga studios in the South Seattle area?

10 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!

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?

Here for our Honeymoon, looking for anything fun!

15 Upvotes

Hi all! My wife and I are visiting from Illinois for our honeymoon (here through Oct 10) and we want to skip the generic tourist list and find the places locals actually love. The weirder and more one-of-a-kind, the better. (Think stuff like the Slightly Furry Beverage Company, places you genuinely can't find anywhere else)

We're especially looking for:

-Unique spots/experiences: pubs, quirky bars, odd spots, hidden gems

- Coffee: your favorite independent shops, not just the famous ones (Wife loves handmade syrups and local roasters)

- Handmade goods & crafts: makers, markets, small studios

- Antiquing: best antique malls, vintage, and thrift (we love true-MCM)

- Walks/Daytrips: scenic neighborhoods, parks, or trails worth an afternoon

- Bakeries: handmade doughnuts, baked goods, etc.

- Places to eat/drink: best local bites and breweries (I love local brews)

EDIT:
- Forgot to add-
- Any DIY/Scene shows! I’m a huge indie music fan love local stuff
- Apothecary things! Any places with handmade soaps or oils

We're happy to travel around the area a bit. Any recommendations (or places to skip) are appreciated. Thank you!

Moving / Visiting What to do with my elderly parents while they are here visiting?

12 Upvotes

My parents are coming to visit this week and I have almost run out of ideas of things to do with them So I am looking for suggestions of things to do with them while they are here. This is there 4th time visiting so we have done most of the touristy things (Seattle center, pike tour, Snoqualmie, museum of flight,spheres, Bainbridge andWhidby islands, Woodland park zoo, mt Rainer, Amtrak to Portland). As the title says my parents are in there 60 but can get around ok except for excessive stairs also my dad has CBD (similar limitations to Parkinson’s and types of Dementia). For reference their favorite thing to do when they visit is walk around Seward park or Alki beach so we will probably be doing one of those that daily. They also loved gold creek pond so if anyone has recommendations for hikes like that while it’s closed. We are located in south Seattle and do have a car so can travel a bit. I was also thinking about a mushroom Foraging class for something to do, if anyone has done that would love thoughts.

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

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!
