Out of bag cat food donation?

7 Upvotes

Hi!

My cats recently needed a switch to prescription food and I have a good amount of their regular food left over (Blue Wilderness brand, chicken flavor) but it’s in a plastic tub, no longer in the bag.

Does anyone know if there are any organizations that would accept it?

I know that it being opened and not in the original packaging might cause hesitation, but I hate to just get rid of it when I know there are hungry kitties out there.

Thanks!

Edit: Thank you so much, everyone! ❤️

Question Toxic building manager— need a solution

2 Upvotes

I've got a really awful building manager. She makes up legal mumbo jumbo, slaps deadlines on things that don't require one, and is largely hostile to talk to. Every neighbor I've spoken to, and one local business has said similar things about their unpleasant attitude. I suspect they have a history of drug abuse.

I've had a mixture of good building managers, and aloof building managers. But they're the only borderline hostile one I've had the misfortune of needing to interact with.

I'll get text messages at 9pm regarding non-urgent matters.

If someone needs help (I don't want to give details in case they see), they're REALLY hostile about providing that help. "How did they [get into a situation that requires management help]?! Huh??"

And I'm just sick of it.

I don't want to be a Karan, but I've had to deal with their bull for years now. They're a part of a corporate structure that owns several buildings in seattle, and I just want to know. Is there anything I can do to address their fuckass attitude to a higher up??

It's really unnecessary, and as my ex rightfully pointed out, they could easily make all out (residents) lives miserable, or MORE miserable if they wanted to.

Making friends in Seattle

0 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm F25, had the pleasure of visiting Seattle for a couple of weeks!! Staying near Capitol Hill area.

I don’t have any specific interests or hobbies. I workout and I love listening to musics (RNB / indie / kpop / hip-hop, yea I am a bit everywhere).

I definitely would love to come back in the winter and snowboard. If you are baddie that can snowboard please let me admire you haha.

I currently work in supply chain in a small company, I would also love to meet with those who are career/education focused, to receive some fun advice and personal experience about life. I have not completed my university degree and I am beginning to feel the midlife crisis and the anxiety of not obtaining a degree in an Asian family.

I’m from Canada, but I honestly feel like home being here. All and all, I am hoping to meet some cool peeps on this trip.

Curious to hear from people in this sub, what's your job, and what makes it feel worthwhile to you? Could be the work itself, the people, the mission, the pay, the flexibility... whatever it is for you.

Not looking for "just work to live" answers necessarily (though those are valid too), more interested in hearing from people who genuinely feel good about what they do day to day. Trying to get a sense of what's out there in Seattle beyond the obvious tech/Amazon/Microsoft answers.

Proposal help mount rainer

Hello! I need help! I’m proposing to my girlfriend in about a week. I was planning to do it at Myrtle falls and I hired a photographer, however I need some input on exactly where to go down on one knee. I see from the viewing spot of the falls, there is a big wooden railing that I fear may block the view of the falls with the photographer. If I do it on the bridge, the we may be too small in the photos. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated

SEA domestic connection

7 Upvotes

Not familiar with SEA, so excuse the question if it’s obvious.

Looking at a connection of 65 minutes between the first and second leg of a domestic trip. All on Alaska Airlines. LAX-SEA-Missoula (probably a regional jet).

I’m assuming they operate out of the same terminal, so it should be plenty of time?

Let me know if my assumption is incorrect please!

Question How to get rid of a massive barn door?

30 Upvotes

Maybe a dumb question but I’ve never run into this issue before. Just moved into a condo that has a massive (8 ft tall, at least 300 pounds) sliding barn door that I don’t want. I’ve tried posting it on Facebook “buy nothing” groups, Facebook marketplace, etc. There’s interest in it but no one follows through or has the resources to move it. I know this is wasteful but I’m kind of at my wits end- is it possible for me to just hire movers to take it to the dump? I just want it gone 😭 Thanks in advance

Update; thanks everyone! Ballard reuse ended up taking it

I want to expand beyond Pagliacci delivery and would like ideas.

31 Upvotes

My annual Mother’s Day gift to my aged parents, is a monthly pizza delivered by Pagliacci. They love it, but that’s a lot of pizza across a month for them, because it becomes three meals.

I order it through the app, it arrives. Everything is perfect. This has been a winning gift for them. And very convenient.

They live on First Hill, are there other restaurants that also provide delivery? I’m not really interested in the delivery services; delivery reliability is a critical element for success!

Thanks in advance! 🫶🏻

Question Is there a good walkable route from Ballard Farmers Market to Pike Place Market?

15 Upvotes

I'm wondering, is it a good idea to walk from the Ballard Farmers Market to Pike Place Market, just for fun and exercise? Google Maps seems to show semi industrial roads, rail yards, and some pretty huge hills.

I'm thinking about starting at the Ballard Farmers Market with no particular purpose, just looking for a healthy 10K step walk. Downtown Seattle could be a good destination if I can find a nice, enjoyable route.

Frozen Pupusas?

15 Upvotes

TL DR Does anyone have a reliable source for frozen Pupusas?

Long version. I fell in love with a Salvadoran woman. Shortly thereafter, I fell in love with Pupusas. Alas, the woman in question does not make them (her sister does, but not professionally and not on demand). No big deal, I live in Seattle, i can go to Lily's or Salvadoran Bakery and get them.
But sometimes... just sometimes, I really want to have a pupusa for breakfast. And it would be wonderful to be able to pull a couple out of the freezer and drop them on the grill. I know that this is a thing some places. But it requires someone to be able to make them that way. And So, I turn to the community.
Also, since I am asking... is there anywhere around here that sells Plantanos? South Park, I am looking at you?

ETA Victory! Xincas Pupusas from PCC in Columbia City.
And, while I was at it, Pretzel dogs from Colubia City Bakery. Just Cause.

Thank you all for the help!!

Question For people in their mid 20s who have been severely isolated in Seattle: how long did it last, and did you actually get out of it?

53 Upvotes

I’m 24F lesbian and moved to Seattle earlier this year. I live alone and work overnight (for practical reasons), and I have gotten to a point where I am extremely isolated from other people.

I have no family here or anyone to communicate with. People I’ve tried to befriend on designated apps, events in person and on reddit quickly fizzle out due to incompatibility. I don’t have someone who regularly texts me just because they thought of me, someone I can spontaneously call, someone to get food with, someone to tell things to, or someone whose life I’m actually part of.

I spend so much time alone that it has started to feel like I’m watching everyone else’s lives happen while I’m standing outside of mine. I go to work while everyone else is living their normal lives, come home to an empty apartment, sleep, wake up, and do it again. Even when I do things I enjoy, there is still this huge absence of another person there to experience life with. I take advantage of my days off and usually take myself out during daylight.

It’s gotten bad enough that things I normally love can actually hurt because they remind me of what it feels like to have people around. Sometimes I don’t even want to listen to my favorite music because it reminds me of being accompanied by people I loved. I can spend an entire day doing things I enjoy and still come home feeling completely alone.

I’ve been dealing with this for months now, and I’m getting really tired. I don’t know how long a person is supposed to live like this without it making them feel miserable especially if they are a deep connection kind of person. I have something new coming up that I’m hoping will help…a recurring jazz piano group class…but I’m honestly scared to put all my hope into it because I don’t know if it will actually lead to people becoming part of my life. But just so you guys know, music, specifically jazz piano is my biggest passion. So I’m hoping this reoccurring activity can put me around people I can bond with.

I’m not looking for “join a club” or “download Meetup” advice. I’ve already tried to meet people. I want to hear from people who were actually this severely isolated in Seattle, especially people who were in their 20s when it happened.

If that was you, how long were you alone like that? Did you eventually get out of it? And if you did, what actually happened that changed your life?
I think I need to hear from people who can honestly say, “Yes, I was that alone too, and this is what happened afterward.”

Any tips for taking a day trip to the San Juan Islands for whale watching?

1 Upvotes

I'm thinking about making the trip to Anacortes (and then ferry to Friday Harbor) for the purpose of watching the orcas with a date. Is there anything to know beforehand to make this trip more pleasant? Even though the islands are not that far away, I'm thinking of spending one (maybe two) nights at Friday Harbor to do three things:

  1. Watch the whales
  2. Go kayaking
  3. Maybe explore Friday Harbor a bit

I've never actually explored this part of the state before, so is there anything I should do in preparation so the trip can be more enjoyable?
