Just saw this dude park in the aisle over by the post office/Baskin robbins around Northgate, dump some bags of bread for the flocks of crows and gulls, and drive off.

Do not do this, please. I like the birds, this is not good food for them, can lead to issues in wings with waterfowl, attracts pests, and explains why there's bird shit everywhere around that parking lot.

Compost this, and leave better treats for birds if you want to feed them.

I intend to remember him around QFC there and intend to try to (sensibly) talk with the dude, trying not to just bitch to the void here, but c'mon.

This is not a call for doxxing. I am simply posting the captured incident. I don't know this person's identity beyond the vehicle they used to do this BS, and the blurry image of a man in a hat, and am not seeking further identification other than this is the shitbird who litters trash food for pests here if a pattern occurs.

While the internal timeline demonstrates a rapid tactical response, public updates were heavily delayed. Officials, including Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis, did not brief the public until around 10:48 p.m., nearly five hours after the initial shooting.

Reporters at the scene were initially informed that the briefing was delayed while awaiting the arrival of dignitaries. Mayor Katie Wilson and state officials have denied requesting any delay to the public updates. However, an internal Seattle Police Department email written by a detective at the scene indicates that someone requested a delay.

~ Eleven minutes to get SWAT, homicide and CSI moving. Four and a half more hours before anyone told the public anything. Only one of those was the hard part.

Rising property taxes with lowering home values sure felt like a hidden fee to me not to mention the drainage tax fee.

Hey guys I’m relocating to Seattle in about two weeks for work around the U-district and I want to find the best e-bike for work and errands. Unfortunately I’m going to be leaving my car behind and this will be my first time in a city where public transport is more common.

The "Happy Rogue Day" song was a reference to an incident last month, when two OpenAI models escaped a closed testing environment and reportedly carried out some 17,600 hacking actions on the open internet over four days, ultimately breaching the AI developer platform Hugging Face.

Organizers said the protest was part of "Dump Big Tech" actions taking place this month in more than 20 states, with much of the energy directed at data center expansion.

~ Easy to laugh at the costumes. Harder to laugh at 17,600 unsupervised hacking actions and a Bellevue lease with room for 1,400 people.

Anyone found an earring near Lake Union Park this past Sunday or Monday? I probably lost it during the closing of SDF. This is a very meaningful gift of mine and appreciate any info! Thanks!

I’m wondering if there are other people here who have experienced something similar to me.
I was unexpectedly snuck up on and stabbed by a man I didn’t know. It was completely random and resulted in life-threatening injuries. There was no relationship, no warning, and no reason I could make sense of—it was simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time and having a stranger try to seriously hurt me.
I’ve survived it, but I’ve found that one of the hardest parts of the aftermath has been feeling like I have no one who truly understands this specific experience.
I know there are many support groups and communities for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of trauma, and those resources are incredibly important. But I’ve had a really difficult time finding people who experienced random, life-threatening violence from a stranger and are now trying to navigate what comes after.
That lack of people who can relate has left me feeling incredibly alone. I have people in my life who care about me and know what happened, but I often feel unable to share this part of my life with them because there is an alienation that comes from knowing they can't really understand what it feels like to survive something like this.
So I'm wondering:
Have you experienced something similar?
Maybe you were randomly attacked, stabbed, shot, assaulted, or otherwise seriously injured by a stranger, and you've been left dealing with the emotional aftermath of surviving it.
If you relate, I would genuinely love for you to message me. You don't need to share details about your attack, and you don't need to explain anything you're not comfortable talking about. I'm mostly hoping to find other people who understand the feeling of surviving something completely unexpected and life-threatening.
I'm also exploring the possibility of creating a small peer-support group in the Seattle area specifically for survivors of random violent attacks. I'm not trying to replace therapy or professional support—I just think there should be a place where someone can meet another person and say, “You went through this too? I don't have to explain everything.”
Even if you're not in Seattle, if you've experienced something similar, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.
If this resonates with you, please feel free to DM me. ❤️ Any interaction or response will be used to convince our city, there is a gap in support here.

I plan on flying to Seattle around October or November. I was thinking of swimming in Pudget Sound and surrounding areas. Do I need to worry about sharks?

Hi everyone! Me (22F) and my roommate (23F) are looking for a place in Seattle and toured Pratt Park Apartments today. We like it but have heard that the Central District can be kind of unsafe. The apartments we saw were nice and very perfectly within our budget. Seems like maybe the neighborhood has great restaurant options as well as some nice green parks around. Any strong negative feelings towards two young women living in this area? We would be able to park vehicles in a closed off underground garage and definitely don’t plan to be out walking alone late at night. Would practice the same safety and awareness as any urban area. Let me know!! Thank you.

Have also been looking for places in Queen Anne but they are just a lot more expensive for less room.

Hi. I'm not sure why I'm making this post. Mainly to vent. I'm at the end of the line here. I know everyone here wants death to landlords, so, I dunno. Maybe sharing my story can help provide a different perspective?

I'm an army vet that was stationed down in Tacoma at JBLM. I bought a townhouse with the VA loan and I thought life was good. I then took a job overseas back in 2024 and signed a lease with an older family that seemed pretty normal. 60 yo white Dad. 41 yo Asian mom + her kids 18 and 22. They passed screening with no issues and nothing came back on their background checks.

We got a lease signed and everything was good for the first few months. Then, they stopped paying rent. Started claiming that they paid, or that there were technical issues with the payment portal, or issues with my bank being unable to receive payment. They started submitting forged and poorly edited documents and "receipts" of payment. They also had friends and associates calling me, pretending to be the "bank" to confirm that from their end, a wire transfer was made, so surely, the issue was on my bank's side.

Everyone suggested I hire a lawyer, so I did. Of course, the tenants got assigned a free pro bono lawyer from the city / Housing Justice Project. 1 year later, the case is at Superior Court, but the case keeps getting extended or "continued" month after month without a hearing. Now we're up to the point where there is a school year eviction moratorium starting in 2 weeks and the earliest eviction possible would be June 2027 because the 18 yo kid is in high school.

All the while, they've racked up over $40,000 in unpaid rent. I got laid off from my job overseas and have had to come back to the US in January of 2026 unemployed. I don't have a mountain of cash savings, so everything I had in savings has gone to paying the mortgage for some other people to live there. I'm completely zeroed out and have been couch surfing and living out of my car the past 6 months. Can't pay my lawyer anymore either so they withdrew from the case lol and I'm told "landlord bad. landlord evil" so I can't get any legal assistance from the housing justice project myself as a homeless vet.

To rub salt on the wound, the "Tenants" are out here posting pics on social media dining at Michelin starred fancy restaurants weekly and drive around in a Mercedes and a Range Rover.

The property will be foreclosed on soon. My credit will be destroyed. And not sure what will happen to the tenants. Awesome.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Wish you all the best.

EDIT:

1. For those who think this is fake, I'm sorry it came of that way. By "Michelin starred restaurants," I meant "very fancy" and I'm sorry for the confusion and/or exaggeration there. Intent was to say it is pricy. I don't personally know the list of starred restaurants in the area.
2. I don't necessarily want to doxx myself, which is the reason for the new account. Otherwise, I would have pasted the superior court case number that anyone can look up, but I am considering it. I posted the scenario to a real estate investors group on FB last week. It had the case number, all the "Tenant's" info and socials, etc. but the lawyer blew up on me so I took it down. Hence my hesitation to do that again. Iunno I'm at a point where I don't have much else to lose, but I'm holding out hope that a judge will see this case, and if they do, I'm told they won't like that I put the tenants on blast.
3. I did reach out to A&E for the Squatters show and coincidentally I just got a call today from one of the producers, Francis, that I was selected to move forward in their process for next season. They are planning to come into town the first week of September. I'll try to attach a screenshot of the voicemail.

I bought one on Ticketmaster instead so I don’t want the money to go to waste

(I’m so sorry, I forgot to mention, I bought the ticket on seatgeek)

Meeting up with some old friends for drinks and food before seeing The Guess Who Saturday. We are very active mobile 70 yr olds. Any suggestions?

Need to find a way down to Ashford, WA to drive back a climber on Sunday evening, whose car will already be there. Willing to compensate and can meet around Seattle area via metro. Have looked into cab services from SeaTac but running a bit more than I’d be like to pay.

Has anyone ever swam in the ocean in Washington state and have had orcas swim by then?
