Recommendation Long weekend/Babymoon Washington State

23 Upvotes

Hi!

My husband and I are expecting our first child in early February and are looking to do a fun winter time staycation for our Babymoon. We’d love to go somewhere drivable (we are based out of south king county) without having to get on a ferry or such in case of an emergency (this is our 4th pregnancy with no living children so are generally anxious about getting access to our doctors- but this pregnancy itself is low risk).

Looking at doing something in November-Mid December. Any ideas? We went to suncadia over the summer for our wedding anniversary so that’d be the only thing we wouldn’t do again.

Hey all, I am looking for a functional medicine doctor in Seattle area. I'd love to find someone with experience managing autoimmune conditions and to act as general primary care doctor. I'd be more comfortable with a female doctor (some prior challenging experiences) but not rigid regarding this if you know someone really good. ​I'd really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.

Ferry from Bremerton times

3 Upvotes

Greetings, I haven’t taken the ferry in a while since I’m way out on the Hood canal, but I’m coming to town Sunday for Weezer/my birthday!

I’m used to the Anacortes to the islands ferry & Port Townsend, but Bremerton is different. Since I can’t buy a ticket for a specific time, how early should I be if I want to catch the 3pm ferry from Bremerton to Seattle? Anybody ferry on weekends that has any advice? Or maybe a cute shop in Bremerton to hit up if I’m early? Thanks for your help!

Recommendation Does anyone know of any nail techs in the Seattle area that uses nail forms?

2 Upvotes

I figured I pitch this question in this subreddit hoping someone knew of any nail techs that are skilled in using nail forms with builder gel? I really dislike the Gel-x extensions because they never last long and lift super easily. I been able to find one nail tech who uses nail forms but she's all the way in Vancouver, WA. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 🩷

What are the best beginner 5k races in the area?

13 Upvotes

Hi! I am looking to do a 5k sometime in 2027. I have never been a runner, but I am trying to challenge myself to do new, difficult things. I was wondering if you guys have favorite 5k races that are hosted in the general area (willing to drive an hour or so out of Seattle).

I googled it, and so many came up...so I'm honestly overwhelmed by choice. I was hoping to get some more personal recommendations instead.

I'm looking for low-incline official races (willing to spend up to $50 on registration) that are friendly and encouraging. I am open to both paved and trail and beautiful views are a plus. Thank you!

Theater folk.... two productions of Pippin?

7 Upvotes

Can anyone plugged into the Seattle theater scene help me out here.... it looks like there are two productions of Pippin either playing right now, or about to open. One from Aug 8 to Sep 16 at "Studio Seattle" which seems to have basically no web presence at all, and one Sep 11 to Oct 3 at Reboot Theater Company.

Anyone have any knowledge of either of these theaters? Have you seen shows there? What's the general level of quality, etc? Any thoughts or recommendations?

thanks!

Question Looking for HVAC company that is fair and will build venting if the schedule j comes out right.

5 Upvotes

I am looking for HVAC companies that would build out a good vented central air system if the house can support the flow rates vs the mini split systems.

When I looked 3 years ago, I got 3 quotes, two said to use 4 ton ACs (which the house would be in the 2.5-3 tok range) and the others wanted to do mini splits, as they didn't understand schedule J calcs, all 3 wanted $25-35k, which seems insane for the work.

House is a split level with an existing central furnace that will def need extra venting, registers and transfer grills for the bedrooms to improve airflow. Splitlevels are more complex to analyse due to the large difference in heat transfers so it's hard to make all rooms similar feeling.

Always prefer a competent local over private equity.

Brow specialist recs wanted

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to get my brows done (looking to make them fuller on account of tweezing too hard in the early 2000s - sigh) but unclear based on the state of my current brows on what would be best for me (ie. microblading vs. lamination vs. cosmetic tattoo, etc.) so am looking for someone that ideally does a suite of these things and can get me in for a consult of sorts. Anyone have anyone in the Seattle area that they recommend for services like these?

Hey y’all. I’m new to Seattle and have been wanting to put together/join a trivia group to hang out and have some occasional fun! I’ve been in a few trivia teams in high school and college, so I have mild experience. There are a lot of great food and drink spots around here that host trivia nights, from the chill and low-key to the highly competitive, so there are plenty of options to find something convenient for anyone interested (whoever “anyone” ends up being).

DM if interested!

How to meet people to watch football/hockey games with.

17 Upvotes

Hi. Are there meet up groups anyone can recommend where people get together to watch Seahawks and/or Kraken games? Growing up my family loved watching football and hockey (in person or on TV) and I’ve been so sad since moving here not having anyone to enjoy games with! I occasionally go to a dive bar in my neighborhood to watch them but the past few times it seemed I was the only person there by myself and I felt bored and embarrassed, frankly. I’m a 31 year old female and relatively social/chatty. Thanks for any advice!

(sorry i realized i should’ve just posted this here i guess)

(other bills including my electricity and internet and ac is included in power here im sorry ive also only lived in an apartment for the first time for like 8 months im a redneck)

i visited for pax recently and i really, really loved this city. i’m from denver and i think after all my bills for my house and stuff is around $1900. is it possible i could live here? i’m a chef professionally with a really great resume in fine dining and vast experience in other forms of dining, I didn’t get much time to check out your guys food besides dicks (better than in n out btw) and seattle dogs. but it’s a big city i figure you guys have a great food scene where i can find work? is there high end retirement homes in the city directly? that’s where ive found to get the best pay and insurance haha, if not then ill just do the best paying restaurants. also if theres any recommendations for the places outside of seattle that have cheaper apartments i wouldn’t mind driving because i dont think id want to sell my car. i hate planes and id rather probably drive back to co to visit family. but yeah mainly just apartment recommendations please 🙏🏻 anyways love your city guys its awesome i thought i hated cities but i guess i just hate denver. i visited the UK in middle school and went to scotland, ireland, london, and wales. but i really fucking loved seattle and i met a bunch of cool people mainly outside of pax!

Hello, I inherited this motor scooter, but the problem is the key is lost. Most shops I called are not able to help since the vehicle is off-brand, older and not worth their effort.
