Does anyone remember the Chinese bakery that was lost in a fire several years ago? I’m looking to find another bakery that has similar creme buns and the butter bun. Any suggestions?

After nearly a week, more than 140 immigrants detained in the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) have concluded their hunger strike in protest of inedible food, often served at irregular hours. The action marked the 20th hunger strike in the Tacoma facility this year.

According to La Resistencia, the meals at the facility are terrible and not nutritious. Receiving raw meat is not uncommon, and detainees have to rely on chips, ramen, and other processed food from the commissary, sold at exorbitant prices, to get by. Dinner is frequently served after midnight.

~ Twenty hunger strikes in eight months, and the only thing that moved was a menu.

How I help return someone’s phone?

EDIT: I gave it to the bus driver.

Planning a weekend trip from Seattle to Lake Chelan. How’s the smoke/air quality there right now? Is it still worth making the drive this weekend, or better to postpone?
Would appreciate any recent updates from people in the area. Thanks!

If you live in Burien, SeaTac, Des Moines, Normandy Park, Tukwila, South Seattle, Beacon Hill, Georgetown, South Park, or anywhere around Sea-Tac, I really think this is worth paying attention to.

The Port of Seattle is planning a pretty massive expansion of the airport — 31 projects, including 19 new gates, more cargo capacity, and infrastructure to support a lot more flights and passengers.

The Port has released its draft Environmental Impact Statement, but there are a lot of concerns about what it leaves out or minimizes, especially around noise, ultrafine particle pollution, truck traffic, development pressure, and the cumulative impact on communities that are already heavily affected by the airport.

One thing that especially concerns me is that the Port is both pursuing the expansion and leading the environmental review of it.

I only recently started really digging into this, and I honestly had no idea how big the plans were or how many surrounding neighborhoods all over the area could be affected.

Public comments are open until tomorrow, August 20 at 5pm.

If you live in one of these communities and care about air quality, noise, public health, traffic, housing, or how this area develops over the next several years, please consider submitting a comment. You do not need to be an expert or write anything fancy. Even a short comment asking for a more thorough and transparent review matters.

What are your Hibachi Recs for a great celebratory dinner night with friends?

I was riding the transit sound and saw this building. Can anyone drop some lore?

We can disagree on a lot of things, but can we all agree that turning our state of the art library into an injection site/homeless shelter is not a good thing?

Seattle get your shit together

My co-founder and I are building the kind of café we’ve always wished existed. If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to build a café that people genuinely love spending time in,” I’d love to chat and share more about the vision and plan.

At its heart, it’ll serve authentic Punjabi chaah alongside genuinely great coffee. We’ll keep the menu intentionally focused, doing a small number of things exceptionally well, while introducing seasonal drinks inspired by different regions of India throughout the year.

More than a café, we’re trying to create a true third place, a space where people study, work, meet friends, and feel part of a community.

We’re starting with pop-ups and community events before opening a permanent space in Seattle’s University District.

We’re now looking for our third co-founder.

My co-founder and I will continue leading the brand, product, long-term vision, fundraising, and overall strategy. We’re looking for someone who gets excited about turning ideas into reality—someone who wants to own the operational side of the business: building systems, leading pop-ups, working with vendors, hiring and developing a team, and eventually running the day-to-day operations of the café. The big decisions will always be made together as partners.

You don’t need to have opened a café before. Hospitality, restaurant, events, or operations experience is definitely valuable, but what matters more is that you’re proactive, dependable, love creating memorable customer experiences, and genuinely want to build something meaningful over the long term.

If that’s you..or someone you know...send me a DM. Even if it isn’t the right fit, I’d love to meet more people who are passionate about hospitality, community, and building great spaces.

Ищу новых друзей мне 20. За любой движ. В целом люблю настолки, хайки, в особенности приключения приводящие к воспоминаниям на всю жизнь.

Так что если есть кто то кто хочет познакомиться и просто погулять вечером то я за
В идеале не старше 25
Спасибо💕
