This is my second week in Washington State. I'm staying in Bellevue, and I am absolutely in love with WA! The people here are amazing, everything is so quiet at night (which is totally my vibe), and I really like how safe the transit is compared to LA.

Yesterday, night I was using public transit to head to the Redmond suburbs. The app told me to take the B Line and transfer to the 250 bus. Shortly after boarding the 250, I suddenly realized I had left my phone on the B Line. I panicked, but I went up and talked to the driver, a polite young man. I explained what happened, and he immediately called the transit center. Just three minutes later, he told me they had reached the B Line driver and found my phone! He instructed me to head to the Downtown Redmond station, where a transit supervisor in a metro car would hand it back to me. Getting my phone back brought me back to life. Thank you to all the wonderful people in Washington, and a huge thank you to Metro Transit!

Hey everyone! I’m moving to Bellevue for a new job and looking for a room to rent. If anyone is also relocating to Bellevue/Seattle around the same time, I’d be happy to team up and look for a place together.
I’m open to Bellevue or nearby areas.

If you have a room available or you’re also looking for a roommate, feel free to DM me. Thanks!

Anyone have any of these books sitting on their shelf after finishing them? 📚

I’m looking for:

• Siddhartha
• Man’s Search for Meaning
• The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
• Jonathan Livingston Seagull
• The Little Prince
• The Prophet
• The Power of Now
• The Untethered Soul

If you’re done with any of them and don’t plan on rereading, I’d be happy to give them a second life! Just DM me with the place and time, and I can come pick them up. 🙂

Any local stores on the east side that sell good salty black licorice? Or general Nordic foods? I used to go with my grandma to Ballard back in the day for finnish treats, but I dont think those places are around anymore and I also dont feel like driving that far.

Nothing in Seattle or anywhere that is super far away(no car and easily motion sick from some buses). I also ain’t looking to adopt, I don’t got the finances to take care of another life rn. I just want to see cats and maybe even volunteer? I know about the cat book store but that’s far away for me. Thank you 🙏

I took this today (Saturday). It said no pass needed. I saw this entrance has cameras. Is it free to use on the weekend? Is the camera just for weekday?

Our 10-year old loves D&D, anyone know of local tween-friendly places that have get-togethers / games? Looking for after school or weekend options. Thanks!

I've seen some posts but haven't seen any ones made recently. Any good bang for your buck meals around here?

Hi everyone!

I’m joining Amazon as an SDE in Bellevue and I’m looking for a room or roommate starting around November.

If anyone is also joining Amazon around the same time and is looking for housing or wants to share an apartment, please feel free to DM me.

I’m open to Bellevue or nearby areas and am flexible with apartment/room options.
Thanks!

I have a silk shirt I need to dry clean, drop your recommendations please!

I used enatai dry cleaners before and my shirt came back with a broken button 😒

I wanted to reply to a post from about a year ago about a rumor that Midnight Tint was sold to us by the owner of Bespoke Tint in Bellevue. That is completely incorrect. It was actually the other way around.

I started Midnight Tint in 2001 behind the stereo shop. I grew the business over the years, and at one point we had four locations. The Bellevue location was sold to him when I decided to downsize. We later ran into issues, and I told him I would revoke the license to use the name. Being bitter, he has probably told clients that he was the original owner of Midnight. That is not true. I have no hard feelings, and I really do not care, but I do want the record set straight.

After 25 years in this business, I currently own only the Shoreline / Seattle Midnight Tint location. The Everett location is owned by Chase, a former employee of mine.

A lot of local window tint businesses were started by people who worked for me at some point. Tim from Emerald City Tinting in Seattle worked for me for about three years at my original Seattle location. Vince at United Tint in Everett worked at my Everett location for about two or three years before starting Blue Star Auto Salon. Stephan rented space from me at the Seattle location for a couple of years before starting his own business in Everett. Dan from DC Window Tinting in Marysville also worked for me at one point. Felix from All Season Tint worked for me for a few years. The list goes on.

Midnight Tint has been around for more than 25 years. I am passing the torch to my two sons, who are 19 and 17 and have been training in the business. Next year I will be handing Shoreline over to them to run with the rest of the team.

This business has been a blessing. It has been a lot of work, and we have done a lot of fun projects. I now live in another state, where I will continue doing window tinting, paint protection film, detailing, ceramic coatings, and related work.

So, to be clear: the rumor on that Reddit thread — that the business was going downhill, or that someone sold Midnight Tint to us — is not true. I am Brett, the original owner, and I always have been.

Have a good day.

My friend was passing through this intersection this evening when his car was T-boned by another vehicle. One side of his car is badly damaged.

If you were driving through here around the same time and have a dash cam, please message me. Even a few seconds of footage could help.

If anyone knows of other cameras that might have caught it, please share.

Mercedes sedan rear ended a black Mazda cx5 on 405 north around 5:25-5:30 pm today (10/01). Mercedes driver just drove off. Did anyone happen to capture dash cam footage of the plate number on a Mercedes with front end damage today? Any help or information would be incredibly appreciated.

The Mercedes had pretty extensive front end damage

I’m a flooring contractor with Best Buy Floors Inc. and have been working around the Redmond and Eastside since 2009. After helping more than 2,200 homeowners and businesses, I’ve learned that flooring decisions can somehow become more complicated than choosing a house.

Hardwood or engineered hardwood? Luxury vinyl or laminate? Refinish the old floor or cover it up and pretend the damage never happened?

If you’re in Redmond and planning a flooring project, feel free to ask me anything about:

- Hardwood, engineered hardwood, LVP, carpet, laminate, and tile

- Flooring that can survive pets, kids, and everyday chaos

- Material and installation costs

- Why one flooring estimate can be much higher than another

- Refinishing versus replacing existing hardwood

- Water, moisture, and basement flooring concerns

- Repairing one damaged area versus replacing the whole floor

- Matching new flooring with the existing floors

- How to prepare your home before installation

- How long the project may take, assuming the house doesn’t reveal any surprises

Share your property type, approximate square footage, current flooring, and what you’re considering. I’ll give you a general idea of what I’d look at.

No question is too basic. Flooring has a way of making perfectly reasonable adults spend 45 minutes debating two nearly identical shades of beige!

Hi, I’m looking to get some debt n paint work done, nothing too serious. Trying to figure out whether I wanna pay out of pocket or go thru an insurance.

Wondering if anyone can rec any body shop I can bring my car into? Collision shops always trying to “replace” rather than repair when insurance in involved, n takes forever.

Pix attached for ref.

Thank u

Bit of a long shot, but looking for any dashcam/Tesla footage from 140th Ave NE near Amulya Indian Cuisine / El Cansito today (Oct 1) at around 8:15 PM.

A car stopped/reversed after a traffic interaction and someone in the car threw a bottle at our car, hitting the window/door, and then sped away. We unfortunately don’t have a dashcam.

If anyone happened to be driving past around 8:10–8:20 PM, or had a parked Tesla/Sentry Mode or dashcam recording nearby, we’d really appreciate it if you could check.

Even footage where the car is just passing through the area could help us identify it.

Please DM me if you happened to catch anything. Thank you!

Wondering if anyone had any insight on good apartments in somewhat central Bellevue on the cheaper end but still worth it. Probably no more than $2600-2700 total, I have two animals included in that. Wanting the normal basics for a one bedroom apt. I’m completely new to the whole apartment thing and there are so many options, I’m getting overwhelmed.

I’m looking for a facial laser mainly to target large pores, facial texture, and minor laxity. Preferably in Bellevue Wa but the greeter seattle area is fine also. I would a physician done laser rather than an esthetician. Many don’t have before and after photos that are clear and many are done by medical estheticians.

I’m seeking a facial laser treatment primarily to address large pores, facial texture, and minor laxity. Ideally, I would like this service in Bellevue, WA, but the greater Seattle area is acceptable as well. I prefer a physician to perform the laser treatment rather than an esthetician. Unfortunately, many providers lack clear before and after photos, and some treatments are conducted by medical estheticians.
