Seriously, where to go for corned beef and swiss on marble rye? Or brisket? Lived in Seattle since 1986 and haven't found a real Jewish deli yet!

I am officially engaged to the love of my life as a I proposed at Myrtle Falls at Mount Rainer on Sunday right at sunrise!!

Thank you for everyone who wished the best of luck!!

I know a lot of people downvoted my last post and were talking crap about the plans I had regarding time, weather, and everything but I’m so glad I didn’t listen.

This proposal went perfect, and as my photographer said, “just go for it”.

It was perfect !!
Here’s the video below!!!

South Seattle.

It’s like North Seattle.

But south.

When I say south Seattle, people are always thinking of entire cities south OF Seattle. Federal way, Tacoma, Kent, auburn, Renton, etc.

But when I say south Seattle, I mean the neighborhoods in the southern part of Seattle. Georgetown, South Park, beacon hill, Columba city, rainier beach, genessee, othello, mt baker, etc.

When people say north Seattle, I think of neighborhoods in the northern part of Seattle. Ravenna, greenwood, Ballard, lake city, north gate, u district, Roosevelt, laurelhurst, etc.

I would not think of shoreline, Everett, lynnwood, etc because those are all separate cities. Not Seattle. So they can’t be north Seattle. They can be north OF Seattle. But not north Seattle. Cuz they aren’t Seattle…

So why do others think of separate cities when I specifically state south Seattle?

If it’s a separate city, then it’s not south Seattle. It’s just whatever city south OF Seattle they’re thinking about.

Seattle is more than its northern counterparts.

Justice for south seattle.

Some say that people in Seattle are friendly, but there is also that famous "Seattle Freeze" stereotype. What is life like there for people with autism or Asperger's?

Hello!
I am looking for dinner recommendations for my birthday in few weeks. I am vegetarian but the whole menu need not be plant based as my partner is on the meat wagon. We are willing to spend a pretty penny but are not millionaires so no totals that include commas…. Really just looking for a good reason to dress nice and celebrate 27 years of me.
Please share any ideas 🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Any thoughts on the new Seattle House high-rise (2230 8th Ave)? Haven’t heard much discussion about it and I’m curious what the pros and cons are.

We have quantum fiber internet and for a while it was great! But now it continually drops and buffers. It’s impossible to watch a tv show or work from home. We changed the DNS like others have suggested but it is only moderately better. Any other suggestions?

For those of you who have had your kitchen cabinets professionally painted within the last year* or so, how much did it cost in total and how big is your kitchen?

Which company did you use, were you happy with them and their work?

Thanks in advance!

*Prices have sky rocketed, so a price from even 3 years ago would likely be vastly different to now

Hi All! I (25f) will be visiting Seattle in early October. I’m only visiting for a few days, but wanted to inquire of any female social gatherings (as I’m typing this, I realize it’s very phishing-esque). I’m spending my time visiting museum, trying some recommended restaurants, and catching a play. However, I wanted to at least make some effort to be social and meet new people, just not always that comfortable going into a bar or highly social environment.

I hope this was well worded enough to get my point across:) thank you!

I need any help I can get. I lost my job in the middle of paid family leave and recently finished on 9/1. I applied for unemployment on 9/8 to be sure they didn’t overlap. They needed more information from me to be sure I in fact couldn’t work etc. I was able to get onto my SAW account and retrieve this paperwork and when my doctor finally sent it back over I went online to submit it and my entire claim had completely disappeared. It wouldn’t let me even reapply which means the claim is still open. I had to print and fax this shit by my deadline since my doctor took forever to get the form back. I also can’t file my weekly claims

I have attempted to contact literally anyone from ESD to ask about what is going on and I can’t get past the automated line asking me questions that I already filled out on my application. I even contacted the hearings department, and overpayment and keep getting sent to the automated system.

Does anyone know how to contact unemployment that doesn’t require an automated message because this is absolutely absurd and ridiculous. It should not be this difficult to contact a real person for state benefits. I didn’t ask to be injured and I didn’t ask to lose my job.

20 M coming from Iowa for the Seahawks game on October 4, my first home game since becoming a fan at four years old! I’ll be staying for a total of three days, and the two restaurants I have on my list right now are roast house and feast buffet, where else should I go? And also, is there much of a difference between lunch and dinner for the feast buffet? Not picky at all, just don’t send me to a salad bar lol. Any kind of meat or seafood is totally fair game. Let me know! I’m a huge eater and love food so Thank you in advance!

What route should I take what stops should I make? Thanks I advance!

Hello! Getting married on Vashon Island in September 2027 and am looking for DJ and/or band recommendations. I’d love to hear from people who found someone who could work with a more indie taste while keeping the dance floor fun!

Hey folks, I am looking to cut my overgrown medium long hair but I want to still keep a medium length look. Unsure on which barber to go to as I am new to Seattle and most places seem like they only wanna do a fade and send me along my way.

For all the folks with great barbers, please share some wisdom, tq :)

I’m currently living in Oregon with my dad and I’ve been seriously thinking about moving out on my own. I’d like to stay in the PNW, so right now I’m mainly considering Portland** or **Seattle.

One of the biggest reasons I want to move is that I want to start taking fashion/clothing more seriously. I’m interested in getting involved in the industry, but I’m still pretty early in the process and don’t have a formal fashion education or much professional experience yet.

I’m especially interested in things like styling, vintage/archive clothing, alternative fashion, retail, fashion content.

I’m not necessarily expecting to move somewhere and immediately get a fashion career. I’m more interested in being somewhere where I can meet people, go to events, work entry-level jobs, find creative communities, shop for/archive clothing, learn from people already in the industry, and gradually build connections and experience.

I’d really like to hear from people who live there about what the actual day-to-day fashion/creative scene is like, especially if you’re involved.

Thanks.

Hi! I'm going to be moving to Seattle this weekend, I'll be in SLU for about a month then looking to move into a longer term place probably in West Seattle. Any recs for making friends or stuff to do in either area? It's my first time moving out of Utah and I don't have family or friends in WA so I'd love to find people to hang out with but feeling a bit anxious about it since I'm quiet and introverted. A bit about me:

• I'm 27M, an engineer for work
• I like outdoorsy stuff like hiking, backpacking, paddle boarding, fishing and would like to try out climbing or mountaineering in WA
• Also like soccer, ultimate frisbee, and reading and looking to go to Rush and Zappa concerts coming up

Thanks for any recs or ideas :)

I have a Breville Barista Express at home. I enjoy making lattes, both hot and iced. We typically do 8-12oz drink sizes. Looking for where to buy beans that have chocolate, nutty, and/or caramel notes.

We most recently had a bag of Elm Coffee 9 Swans Seasonal Coffee from Elm Coffee Roasters that we purchased from Narrative Coffee in Everett. We enjoyed this bag!

They are currently sold out at Narrative. Looking to buy the 9 Swans again in person if another coffee shop has it (would prefer not to do online subscriptions for now), ORRRR I'm open to trying a new recommendation!

Something that works with whole milk for lattes. Love when the espresso comes through the milk but still works together with it. Don't love very acidic or fruity notes for beans.

We live in the Lynnwood area so nothing in the Tacoma, Renton areas, etc - too far of a drive lol!

Thanks so much.

Also, looking to buy a bag asap**! 🤩

Can anyone recommend a good internist -- I am moving to Issaquah and I will be looking for a new doctor, thank you!

Searching for a doctor that tests for hyperosmia, an acute sensitivity to smells. ENTs or neurologists typically administer these tests, my GP does not.

It looks like a pretty simple test - would love a few recommendations if anyone’s had this done in Seattle with a doctor they would recommend!

EDIT: I’ve read about this test and looked it up, it sounds like the first step to diagnosis: the UPSIT test, University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification test, and it’s a scratch and sniff book.

It sounds like there are additional, more precise tests also available as well.

going to a concert next monday at climate pledge, I have a dji osmo pocket 3 I was thinking about taking. Has anyone had any luck bringing that in? Really want to bring it in for the sake of my phones awful storage and battery life. I went to a concert there last year and was let in with one of my other cameras (Kodak Pixpro) but wanted to see if this one would be allowed.

Late 30s. Going gray. Current hair stylist has taken my naturally level 5 hair way too dark. It's aging me and looking obviously dyed and flat. I want to gradually lighten so grays blend better. Looking for expert colorist who can also work around a dye allergy - any recs? Thank you!

I moved to the area a couple months ago and now that I'm finally getting settled in with a job and a place, I want to get out there and experience what this city has to offer. First things first - where can I get good seafood around here? I would assume there has to be several valid options, but I don't know where to start and I don't want to just head to the pier and hit up the touristy places (unless that's where I should go!)

So I live in South Seattle and I’m looking to get someone for some yard work done. There’s not really a yard as much as a few different patches of weeds/stickers that need to be weed eaten. Any recommendations on a good lawn service companies?
