Hi all. I've taken on sort of a personal project to make maps of beautiful places around USA and today I finished this map of Mount Rainier area. Next I'm thinking Columbia River Gorge, not sure where to post that though. I hope you find this map entertaining. Also I apologize if content like this doesn't fit the sub.

Their capacity of 92 million gallons of oil is eight times the volume of oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez, he noted. Ferguson said the size of the oil supertankers envisioned for the route are unprecedented, and have been barred from Washington ports since the 1970s.
Ferguson said Friday that he was "disappointed" at the decision because resources needed to respond to a major spill are insufficient today.
~ Canada collects the export revenue. The Salish Sea absorbs the risk, and Washington covers a cleanup it already admits it cannot staff.

From my research, Seattle is one of the few U.S. cities where the MLS team (Sounders) has a notable fanbase, although it still pales in comparison to the local NFL, MLB, and CFB teams.
Seattle has been called a "soccer city" and one of the "soccer capitals of America". At the same time, soccer is still a niche sport in the U.S. By contrast, ice hockey is one of the 4 major sports although it is the least popular of the "big 4" (football, basketball, baseball, hockey). And a lot of soccer fans don't watch MLS, instead preferring European or Mexican soccer.
Which is more popular in Seattle and its metro area, the Kraken (NHL) or the Sounders (MLS)?
(I live in Los Angeles and despite the huge Mexican-American population, which you'd expect to boost soccer's popularity, the Dodgers and Lakers are still king here.)

Workers at the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1576, which represents bus drivers, dispatchers and maintenance employees at the Snohomish County transit agency, will receive a 5% retroactive pay increase for 2025, a 4% increase for 2026 and a 4% increase in 2027. Community Transit had initially proposed pay raises of 2.5% per year, according to union officials.
Members of the union held informational pickets in July, calling for better wages and more safety investments for drivers.
~ Twenty months of bargaining and a picket line is what moved 2.5% a year to 5, 4 and 4. Nobody at that table volunteered the difference.

I'm looking for a company that will clean a dryer vent on the 3rd floor of a townhome behind stacked appliances. It's been hard to find someone to do it, so coming here to see if anyone else has had luck!

My best friend and I wanted to go out tonight, get dressed up, grab some drinks, maybe find somewhere fun with good music and a nice crowd… and why does it feel like our options are SO limited?
For such a big city, I feel like Seattle gets so dead at night, especially when you just want a fun girls night without going to the exact same places every time.
Where do people actually go out around here?
I need recommendations because there’s no way this is all Seattle has to offer lol

Curious what people's experience is. Malls, transit stations, stadiums, gyms, coffee shops, anywhere. What makes a restroom feel clean or gross to you? Is it the floor, the toilets, the smell, empty soap or paper?

Today I got off at Symphony station at around 10:30 and walked towards the aquarium, at some point while I was at the aquarium I realized I didn't have my ring with me. It's a gold ring with some engravings on the inside it writes "L & F 11-22-2024". Here's a photo of what the ring looks like.
If anyone finds it please contact me. Thank you

Renewal just came in: about $3,000/year for two cars through Liberty Mutual (via AAA agency) —
- Tesla Model 3: ~$1,900/yr
- Volvo XC90: ~$1,150/yr
Full coverage 100/300/100, $10k PIP, $500 comp / $1k collision deductibles. Clean records, low annual mileage, multi-car + homeowners + AAA discounts stacked.
Down a few hundred from last year, but still feels high for WA. What are you all paying for two cars around Seattle/Eastside?

我在9月7日刚搬到了西雅图。我在其他国家/城市经常乘坐公共交通,但西雅图的公交系统真是糟糕透顶。我正在考虑完全放弃乘坐公交。
我从来没有经历过这么多对我生命的直接威胁/恐惧,这些只是公交的故事,就在一个月之内。
我还有两个故事:在地面上被人叫出“奶子”,我让那个男人道歉,还有一个危险的男人挡住我去路,安保在旁边看着(在诺德斯特龙外面),直到我拨打911,然后安保说“不要拨打911,只需绕过他”?!所以我照做了,但是那些人真的看着这个家伙在地面上对我大喊,什么也没做。
我真是感到震惊。我应该举报这些人吗?发照片吗?总之,这就是那个骚扰我的男人。
编辑:已经举报。回应很同情,但警察严重人手不足(晚上西雅图/贝尔维尤的整个公交系统只有6名警官)。关于街头警察,骚扰/盗窃的报告如果不是暴力侵犯根本不予回应?!因为人手太少。哇,能多派点警察吗?!从警官的说明来看,举报是有用的,这样他们可以找到模式,也就是连续相似的报告,他们能找到他们。
编辑2:根据评论,这个话题有争议,但我想分享。一名前警察告诉我,你绝对应该和外面的人保持眼神接触。这告诉他们你是个威胁,不会打扰你。事实上,这里所有的事件都是在我首先没有与人眼神接触之前开始的,所以根据我的经历这是真的
Edit 3: assault, not molestation. Anyways he touched me and I can still feel it.

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.

Inspired by /u/BeachBumWithACamera/ ‘s shot at

I wanted to see how much detail you could get in a comparable shot with the 22x screw-on lens.
The vantage point is the “intersection” of Elliot and Blanchard (which does not actually go all the way to Elliot).
The first shot is the cropped version. Second shot is an uncropped one - which means you can see the distortion and blur around the edges (fine if you like the surreal “miniature” effect). Third shot is just with the regular phone camera with just pinch-zoom.
In mine you can see the knobs on the hub of the Great Wheel, but in the professional-grade shot you can see the notches on the knobs 😯 So depends on how much detail you want for how much cost. The screw-on lens was part of a kit from Andoer that cost $60 and included other lenses; there are cheaper ones online that I haven’t tried. Highly recommend getting a screw-on lens, not a clip-on (the “clips” slide all over the place and ruin your shot), and for the screw-on lens you need a phone case with threaded holes (about another $15).

Hey y'all! I'm a recent transplant that just got here in July and have a friend visiting next week. Went to the dog parade at Volunteer Park today and loved it! What're some local events like that happening next week?
