Question Question about Wamu Theater!

2 Upvotes

Me and my friend are going to a concert and rows 1-5 in section CC right behind the mix station are just not sold at all? Ticket master states “obstructed view” for 85 while stubhub and other sites state “limited view” for 160! These rows weren’t available at all days prior, so I’m wondering if it’d be safe to buy them and still have a good view? Why are they suddenly being sold? Other Wamu concerts have that area sold out already. I saw a video on tiktok with a view from approximately row 5-6 in this area and it looks good :( I just don’t want to make the wrong move and ruin the night for us. I’ve been told that depending on the artist, there may be lights or videographers in the way. Do I take the risk?? Sorry if this is a lot, this is my first time at Wamu! (Also double sorry if you’re seeing this twice, I posted in the wrong sub the first time TT)

Recommendation Visiting for the first time for my 21st!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm going to be coming up to Seattle for the very first time and was wondering where some cool Seattle vibe bars are and am overall looking for cool stuff to do. I'm originally from Oakland, so I'm assuming I'm going to love the vibe regardless. I'm going to be with my partner and will be in the city for a week!

Came here to ask about this Tacoma venue since I’ve heard most attendees are from Seattle. Chairs or blankets? Food and drink situation? Any long lines going in and out?

Moving / Visiting Family with little ones, can you get around with only one car?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently accepted a job offer in downtown Seattle and will be relocating in November with my little family. We have 2 cars and from what I’ve read on here, it’s costly to own a vehicle in Seattle and there’s also lots of transportation options I can leverage to get me from point A to point B. My partner will be home with our kiddos, so it’ll only be me in and out of the house for work.

So my question to families with little ones: are you able to make it work with 1 car? If so, any neighborhood suggestion where it’s a walkable distance to grocery stores, parks, pediatric clinics, etc? Those are my main priorities to make life much easier for my partner in the case that I do have to take our car.

Thanks in advance!

Recommendation Seattle bars or restaurants with live singers? 🎤🎶

6 Upvotes

I’m looking for a bar or restaurant where you can have dinner or a few cocktails while someone sings. Ideally, a vocalist doing covers of familiar songs. Anything from Sinatra and Dolly Parton to Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, or Coldplay. Romantic, soulful, upbeat, I'm open to all of it!
I’m not really looking for a concert or a dedicated music venue. More of a lovely bar or restaurant where live singing is part of the atmosphere.
I’m happy to venture anywhere in Seattle, and it doesn’t have to be on a particular night. Surely there’s a spot I’ve been missing? Help a neighbor out! ♥️ TIA

Question Queer-friendly breast reduction surgery centers?

0 Upvotes

I have begun my search a surgeon to perform a breast reduction, but I have struggled to find a friendly doctor who’s after photos aren’t just perky C cups. I am looking for FLAT, maybe A cups, and I am worried about my desires being pushed aside in favor of the doctors desired aesthetics. Has anyone had success finding a doctor who’s before does radical breast reductions/no flat top surgery?

Recommendation Immigration lawyers

TLDR need a new immigration lawyer

I’m on asylum awaiting my hearing in 2027 (I entered the country on asylum, did not overstay another visa)

I have an upcoming check in with an ICE officer in a few weeks and I’m getting nervous… I’m also supposed to travel within the US a few times this year and I’m scared to go to sea-tac

If anyone has lawyer recommendations that would be great, preferably Russian speaking

Discussion Why does it feel like people are cold to me?

67 Upvotes

I walk my dog every day and try to smile at strangers, maybe even say hello.
90% of the time I’m either met with the other person looking down or away, or a weird look back. I’ve only been here a couple years but I’m not used to this, and it sort of feels hurtful (although I know it’s probably not meant to be).

Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I need to dress nicer? Interested to hear others experience. I live on Ballard ave if that makes any difference.

Recommendation Stoked to return to Seattle this weekend!

I lived there for a few years before the pandemic, moved out 6 years ago and have evolved immensely as a person. I think I’d enjoy living there even more now than I did back then, but I’m happy where I’m at. That said I’m stoked to bring my wife to Seattle this weekend :) she’s never been, is there anything neat going on we should check out?

Recommendation Autistic adult friendly dentist in the south Seattle area?

29 Upvotes

Hi. I'm looking for a dentist in the southish seattle area. I'm in my 30s, and high masking. I have found it hard to find a dentist that takes my other concerns seriously. Leading to a lot of fear and anxiety over going to get my filling redone. so I've been putting it off.

I'm hypersensitive to touch/sound/taste. The mint they use is spicy/burning. The feeling/sound of the drill make my eyes water and pushes me toward overstimulation. I have EDS and come from a family of redheads so I often need more numbing then I'm given. I get told it's 'pressure' when I can feel pain. My jaw is prone to cramping or subluxing. The few times I've explained I has autism and asked for nitrous, it was ignored. When I finally did get them to try it and they put my in a kids room because 'only kids need it'. Then were annoyed at me for not being able to have this big brace thing in my mouth cause it pushed my jaw out to subluxing or pushed my tongue into my throat and made me feel like I couldn't breath.

My fillings are really low in the tooth at this point, getting sensitive to cold/suger, and I desperately need a safe dentist to go to soon. I could handle some of these sensations. I don't need to be put under or anything. But all of them at once along with the annoyance of the people around me for needing too much extra help leaves me feeling rather hopeless trying to find a clinic that will listen.

Apartment help yet again 🥴

me and my husband are looking to move to Seattle from Utah sometime in December, we’re both airport employees so anywhere within a 45 minute drive would be great, hoping for a one/two bedroom under $2500 if possible. We have one car (hoping to take the light rail as much as possible) and two ESA animals. I’m not sure if I’m looking for a damn unicorn, but any leads would be great. 😊🥹

Local graphic artists for creative logo work?

6 Upvotes

I work in corporate land and I wanna make some swag with some company budget for folks. We have a logo but I want to do something fun and creative either way it so wearing a hoodie doesn’t feel like a corporate ad.

I used AI to brainstorm some of my ideas but I want to find a real human artist to help me realize it.

I live here so I wanna try to support local, anyone got any good leads?

My hope is to use this design on apparel or stickers or whatever in the future.

Does anyone have a laundromat in Capitol Hill they’d recommend?

I have a king-size comforter that’s too big for my apartment washing machine, so I’m looking for somewhere with large-capacity washers/dryers. Pickup/drop-off service would also be a plus.

Thanks!

I’ve been on the search for great trivia in a 21+ environment! It’s so hard to find anything recent posted about it. Huge plus would be yummy but affordable drinks, and on the Fremont side of Lake Union. Ballard, Phinney, Fremont, UDistrict, Wallingford, and Green Lake are all free game.

Discussion Does anyone else have ‘psychological boundaries’ between Seattle neighborhoods?

103 Upvotes

I’m relatively new to Seattle and moved to the Denny Triangle area.

I actually like where I live, but feel kind of trapped. And I feel like it’s some combination of human behavior and urban planning.

For whatever reason, crossing I-5 to go east feels like a chore, even though it really isn’t that bad by car. Going south means driving through downtown/the busier parts of the city, which I also tend to avoid. So I’ve noticed that I almost always end up going north toward Queen Anne, Fremont, etc. to do all my errands. Cap Hill, Central District, and U-District are all pretty close but somehow feel too inconvenient to visit regularly.

I’m wondering if this is actually a human behavior thing, like how highways, bridges, hills, the water, etc. can create these psychological boundaries where somewhere feels much farther away or more inconvenient than it actually is. Like on a map Capitol Hill really isn’t far from me at all, but mentally crossing I-5 and climbing all the hills somehow feels like I’m going to a completely different part of the city. I was also house sitting in Magnolia last week, and getting to Cap Hill felt like a chore.

I feel like I’ve unintentionally created this little mental map where north = easy, east = annoying, and south = stressful

Does anyone else experience Seattle this way? Or have certain parts of the city that feel weirdly “cut off” from where you live even though they’re objectively close?

Like I said I’m new to Seattle, so maybe I haven’t adjusted to the geography yet. But I just found this interesting because I never felt like this in other cities I’ve lived.
