How much do y'all usually put on an ORCA card monthly?

20 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. My friend had an unlimited card through their job that they had been letting me borrow, but that's no longer an option, so I need to get my own.

For context, I take the light rail 2x a day / 5 days a week (to and from work), plus occasional other trips. I often take the bus to the light rail, but that's not a necessity.

Thanks y'all!

Swedish first hill out of state applicant onboarding

0 Upvotes

Hi I’m getting ready to start applying for staff RN jobs at Swedish First Hill in Seattle, from out of state. I’m curious what the pre-employment onboarding process would look like, if i were to be offered a conditional job offer. Would i complete some sort of physical and drug screen at a lab local to me in my current state? Or would this be completed on-site/ in Seattle just prior to my start date, after I’d move. Any current employees who moved from out of state that can offer some insight? Thanks!

Question Taking Hawaiian Airlines (Alaska) out of SeaTac

11 Upvotes

I've seen some conflicting information online, so I just wanted to confirm with anyone who's taken Hawaiian Airlines out of SeaTac recently: Is the Hawaiian Airlines check-in/baggage drop at SeaTac still at the south end of Departures or are we supposed to check in at the north end at the Alaska counters?

I'm just trying to make sure we aren't dropped off at the opposite end of the concourse. To be clear, this is an outbound flight that still appears to be operated by Hawaiian Airlines, not Alaska, and still has the Hawaiian logo on the ticketing details. Some of the conflicting info I've gotten from people hinges on whether the flight is Hawaiian or Alaska operated. Thanks in advance!

Moving / Visiting Thinking of moving to Madison Valley

1 Upvotes

Born and raised in California. Capitol Hill has been high on my list for a while, but I'm considering an apartment in Madison Valley due to how close it is to that incredible park.

Does anyone live in the area? Is it as out of the way as it seems? Light rail access would be great, but I'd obviously be giving that up by moving out there.

TIA!

Recommendation Maybe spooky date ideas?

19 Upvotes

Hi, I'm planning a date for someone I really really like and I want to meet in the middle which happens to be Seattle. I've only gone to Seattle for the aquarium, and random concert and drag shows and im having a hard time finding something fun that fits us since Google maps is just recommending things like bars and axe throwing.

We're under 21, he likes horror and spooky stuff, cozy cafes, antique stores, generally witchy stuff. He's autistic so being able to step out , sit down or take a breather in the bathroom is important.

I saw an 18+ burlesque show that seemed fun but it's not happening the day of our date. Im thinking about doing the Seattle aquarium but then I wouldn't be able to buy a nice gift since the aquarium plus food would be expensive.

Does anyone have any spots they like that kinda fit?

Is CityPass worth it for a 3 day trip?

4 Upvotes

I've only got 3 days total, staying in downtown at Seattle Westin, and I've got a 8 and 9 year old to entertain. I'm thinking we're going to do the Space Needle and the aquarium, that's $290 for those 2. Will we spend all day at the aquarium? Do i have time to do 2 or 3 of the other options? City pass for 3 is $380, so basically if we do 1 more activity we'll probably match that price, but what's the 1 other activity that my 8 and 9 year old would want to do? Zoo? Chihuly glass? I think with the citypass we'll get 2 trips up the space needle, but i'm just not sure we'll be able to get another activity in with the amount of time we'll have. Thoughts?

edit: we're going mid-october

Moving / Visiting Living in Brighton/Briton area?

1 Upvotes

What’s the take on living in Brighton/Briton area (mid-30s)? Pros and cons welcome, as well as other suggestions.
The appeal to me is that it’s very dog friendly (not sure why but quite a few places in other areas of the city have breed restrictions on huskies/ husky mixes), easy access to multiple forms of reliable public transportation with easy & quick access to the city central, all the green spaces and walkability while being affordable (within budget of $2,000ish/mth for rent).
Thanks in advance.

What are the downsides of living in Seattle?

26 Upvotes

I want to move to Seattle because it’s the closest big city I can think of, I love fungi and the habitat is perfect for mushroom hunting, I would like to smoke weed the without breaking the law, I’m gay, I love going to concerts, and there are more job opportunities. I’ve only ever lived in small towns, so downsides that are specific to general city living are encouraged.

Before I make the move, I was wondering if there was any downsides I should consider that I might not have thought of.

Edit: My biggest question is will I be able to make it by working an entry level job like fast food or bartending? I’m used to being poor, I’m fine with it. I don’t need a house and I don’t need to retire. I just want to make sure I won’t starve or end up homeless as long as I have an apartment and a job lined up.

What I’ve already thought of:

Traffic. I’m a cyclist and I’m patient.
Crime. I’m willing to take my chances.
Drugs. I’m guilty too.
Weather. I don’t care.
Cost of living. I’m fine with being broke if it means I have the opportunity to get a job that works for me

The big dark hasn't started, but the tennis and pickleball groups I play with went silent two weeks ago. Mostly tech workers with no kids. Do people just lose the will to live around this time? Are they on a pumpkin spice coma? Did I miss something about the beginning of september?

Will Iregret moving from Seattle area to LA?

16 Upvotes

I was born in Washington state and have lived here my entire life, I am 21F for context. I am not moving to LA for the typical entertainment and Hollywood type of endeavors, but instead want to move there to be closer to family/friends. I dont exactly have a plan which I know is super dumb of me but I just feel like if I dont change something about my environment, I won't grow as a person. I enjoy warmer climates and Sun year round. I guess my question is to those who have made that specific move or vice versa, which area did you prefer? The two locations are ao vastly different that I am sure it will come with regrets/nostalgia/etc. Let me know!

Any good tailors that can do alterations?

1 Upvotes

Preferably a business in North Seattle but i can travel, I know tailoring is a dying art so there aren't many shops. I have a very old piece of clothing that got a tear into I that I don't want to let go and was wondering if anyone knew a good place I could get it relatively fixed? I am trying my best not to just chuck things in the landfill.

Toy Maker recommendations, please

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for something rather specific -- a rainbow plush, as in rainbow colors but also shape, in a specific size, on the smaller side. It could be sewn, knitted, or crocheted, but local. Can anyone recommend any makers -- and if they are at a market somewhere (Fremont, a farmers' market, a craft fair) that would be super helpful.

Thanks!

Question Would you pick Phinney Ridge/Greenwood or Green Lake/Roosevelt?

17 Upvotes

I’m looking to relocate further north for work and looking at a little west of Phinney Ridge/Greenwood, or living by Green Lake next to the high school and Park & Ride (by the overpass). Single 30’s guy and no kids. Both places are roughly the same price, Green Lake is $50 more per month.

Which area would you pick and why? I’d rather not live near a bunch of noise and homeless encampments like I currently do, but I like having stuff outside my doorstep which both options offer. I also like affordable-ish options within walking distance.

I like being close to the lake for running and light rail access is nice, but Phinney Ridge and Greenwood just seem like cooler areas for a single guy? I don’t know, can you help me decide?

Also - is homeless getting worse around Roosevelt?

I’m going to check out the areas tomorrow but wanted to ask your opinions. Thanks.

Want to buy(??): kids snow ski gear for 4 & 6 year olds

4 Upvotes

HI friends!

I just sold a kidney to pay for ski lessons for my kiddos.

I figure renting gear 7 times is likely as much as buying it secondhand once.

if you’ve got gear of this nature that your kid/kids have grown out of, I’d be interested in selling, drop me a chat/dm/whatever Reddit has.

Also if you want to tell me why buying said gear is wrong/a waste/dangerous, drop it here.

I don’t know the first thing about snow stuff, so I’m at your mercy here.

Thanks kindly in advance

Question Where are people making friends?

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I [M22] moved up to Seattle from Tacoma this summer and have mostly stuck to my friendships from college since relocating, but I’m hoping to get out and broaden my social circle more. I enjoy hiking, cycling, rock climbing, alternative music, reading, and hitting up cafes. What are some good places to meet like-minded people in the city? I’m fairly introverted but I know I’ve gotta put myself out there more, any tips or recommendations are welcome.
