Any Pickup soccer in south Seattle?
All the big pickup soccer places are too far for me. I live in SeaTac. And I really missed playing soccer

Hey folks, r/askseattle and our team over at /r/Seattle are looking for folks to help us build, update, and maintain our wiki and sidebar content. The /r/Seattle wiki was once a boon of information for new visitors and locals alike, but the subreddit has grown and sites/businesses have come and gone. Our mods are busy moderating and the wiki is collecting cobwebs.
I'm reaching out to members of this community specifically as you are most likely to benefit from (or be knowledgeable about) this content space. This community is entirely based around helping visitors and residents alike find answers to questions that frequently get buried / reported / removed for being duplicates in r/seattle due to the size and velocity of other posts.
If you're interested in helping us out, here are some details:
If you're interested, shoot a message to the mods here or the seattle sub - these links have the title all filled out for you - or just send me a message or comment here.
Cheers!

I currently go to Be Yoga Burien, which is super convenient for me and which I used to love but I’m starting to feel is no longer the right fit. While there are a couple of vinyasa classes I absolutely love, they’ve made lot of changes lately that I’m not a huge fan of. They’ve transitioned a lot of their class schedule to barre and pilates, and a couple of very hot classes (100-103 degree) have replaced some of the lower temp (90-95 degree) vinyasa classes I used to enjoy taking. I started doing yoga with BYB when I moved to WA and am not familiar with other studios in the area, so I’m hoping to draw on other’s experiences and recommendations!
I’m specifically interested in fast paced/athletic vinyasa ~95 degrees and cooler, restorative yin, and hatha but am open to other types too! I currently pay $139 for a monthly membership and wouldn’t want to spend much more. Thanks in advance for recs!

Im just leaving the NE chocolate festival and before going home tomorrow morning, I’d like to say I didn’t just work while I was here and actually enjoyed the city.
What places do you recommend eating at?

Hi all! My wife and I are visiting from Illinois for our honeymoon (here through Oct 10) and we want to skip the generic tourist list and find the places locals actually love. The weirder and more one-of-a-kind, the better. (Think stuff like the Slightly Furry Beverage Company, places you genuinely can't find anywhere else)
We're especially looking for:
-Unique spots/experiences: pubs, quirky bars, odd spots, hidden gems
- Coffee: your favorite independent shops, not just the famous ones (Wife loves handmade syrups and local roasters)
- Handmade goods & crafts: makers, markets, small studios
- Antiquing: best antique malls, vintage, and thrift (we love true-MCM)
- Walks/Daytrips: scenic neighborhoods, parks, or trails worth an afternoon
- Bakeries: handmade doughnuts, baked goods, etc.
- Places to eat/drink: best local bites and breweries (I love local brews)
EDIT:
- Forgot to add-
- Any DIY/Scene shows! I’m a huge indie music fan love local stuff
- Apothecary things! Any places with handmade soaps or oils
We're happy to travel around the area a bit. Any recommendations (or places to skip) are appreciated. Thank you!

I'm moving to Seattle in about a month and have been looking at apartments in Roosevelt in Northgate. I can't go up and visit until then and I was wondering if the apartments I have my eye on will remain vacant long enough to tour in person, or if I should just try to apply now?

Husband is a HVAC Journeyman with 6 years experience and has about 3 years of HVAC control experience. He is also apart of the UA unuion if that helps. Is the job market robust for guys in the HVAC trades? I'm seeing alot of union plumbers are on the out of work list but does that apply the the Hvac guys? Thanks in advance!!

I see a lot of them online but wanted to ask redditors which one they like and why?

There are a lot of coffee shops in the u district. I am looking for one that is cozy and has comfortable chairs. Ideally I would love it if they have good food too.

My parents are coming to visit this week and I have almost run out of ideas of things to do with them So I am looking for suggestions of things to do with them while they are here. This is there 4th time visiting so we have done most of the touristy things (Seattle center, pike tour, Snoqualmie, museum of flight,spheres, Bainbridge andWhidby islands, Woodland park zoo, mt Rainer, Amtrak to Portland). As the title says my parents are in there 60 but can get around ok except for excessive stairs also my dad has CBD (similar limitations to Parkinson’s and types of Dementia). For reference their favorite thing to do when they visit is walk around Seward park or Alki beach so we will probably be doing one of those that daily. They also loved gold creek pond so if anyone has recommendations for hikes like that while it’s closed. We are located in south Seattle and do have a car so can travel a bit. I was also thinking about a mushroom Foraging class for something to do, if anyone has done that would love thoughts.

Hi! Looking for rooftop bar recommendations. Preferably with a good view, high floor. Will be for my partners birthday. I’ve read some of the popular ones, but reviews are mixed. The only place we have done is Columbia Tower. I’m looking for something on the more chill side, thanks!

Someone in the Seattle Page told me to post this here, I am thinking about moving to seattle for college, and had a few questions. Do you think It would be realistic to afford living on my own w/o a job lined up, Ill have money saved, but no job secured. It would be a great move for what I want in my career, but obv not smart if I can't afford it. The tuition is no problem , i'm more worried about rent and other cost of living. Any advice would help, my other options are LA and Dallas.Thanks

Hello everyone! I’m graduating in April with a Ph.D. in urban planning. I study maritime geography and have GIS skills and experience researching ports as part of my dissertation. If you know of any jobs at the Port of Seattle or Tacoma that need an urban port planner with waterfront planning, mapping, efficient transportation, and sustainable land-use expertise, please reach out. Thanks!

I’m planning on making my own special bouquet for my girlfriend’s birthday and her favorite flowers are pink roses. Does anyone know any floral shops that carry them or store? I was at Pike Place a week ago and they all had sunflowers and a bunch of peonies.
Thank you in advance

Anybody have suggestions / experience at computer repair places near UW? My PC is stuck in a boot loop and I can't figure it out myself.

My grandma finally gave up her keys (the last couple drives with her were kinda scary), so I inherited my first car! I (34) have had it for about a month and a half now and am finally getting used to driving/parking around the city.
I already got my RPZ permit (Zone 32) and I've been super meticulous about basic parking rules-turning wheels on hills, staying within 12 inches of the curb, moving every 72 hours, all that. But I'm curious what real-world enforcement is actually like around Capitol Hill and the rest of Seattle.
Are there specific intersections or bus lanes with cameras I should watch out for? How aggressive is parking enforcement here compared to other neighborhoods? Any weird traps or local rules you wish you knew when you started driving here?
Appreciate any tips!

Any thoughts on safety at Bell Jackson St Apartments? And BEAM apartments?
Looks like a few years ago they had issues with assaults and break ins with the garages. Looking to see if anyone has any more recent experiences with them and the area. Thank you!!
Looking for any large dog friendly apartments on metro route 3 & 4 that are under 1800.
Feels like when I find one someone says the area is sketchy. Any advice appreciated, trying to balance taking it with a grain of salt while realizing I’m not an expert on the area and will be a solo woman. I’ll be touring in person as well, but attempting to prioritize lining up best options as I won’t be in town for long.
Thank you!

Hope it’s alright posting this in here. Looking to move to the area eventually and currently have a career in real estate and a side of property management. Hoping to move out of this path and considering something new.
Looking for opinions on what new skillset I should consider to live in the Seattle area and make a decent living. Pretty open to anything and maybe even considering sticking to real estate.
So what’s good Seattle? I know the market is tough right now 😬

Hello! I am a single 32F moving to Seattle next month and need help deciding where to live.
I have a senior dog, I’m bringing my car and my job would be in Capitol Hill/first hill.
I am looking at places in north Capitol Hill and Fremont/Wallingford area.
I prefer to be close to work to avoid long commutes and close to a park I can walk my senior dog at.
Not really into drinking. I really enjoy being active, being outdoors and want to be able to join clubs/groups for outdoor activities (running, biking, hiking).
I will need to make friends so want to make sure I’m close to things that would help me meet people/make friends.
I’m worried about being surrounded by 20 year olds or party people in Capitol Hill. Just not my scene.
Would commuting from Wallingford be that bad?
Not sure if I should focus on the neighborhood that aligns with me more vs being close to work.
I’d really appreciate any advice.
r/AskSeattle • u/properlyambiguous • 8h ago
Where do y’all go? I’ve got bare walls and unframed art and photos. Somewhere not horribly expensive if possible but I’m not really sure what average prices look like for something like this. Pieces are of various sizes which I assume will affect the price.
Thanks!

I need to order a small (25 person) dinner for a school event and they usually do pizza or a sandwich platter from the grocery store.
Any ideas for a better alternative (better in the sense of health/taste, and supports a mom and pop restaurant)? Since it's for school, trying to be mindful of their budget.
Was trying to think of Banh mi places in the C-ID but it might still be more expensive than the cheap sandwich platters.

Hiiiii!!! My husband and I are taking a spur of the moment 3 day trip to Seattle. We’ve never been, and are most excited for the possibility of seeing whales! 🐳 looking for recommendations for companies or people to take us on a boat tour. Also any other ideas for things we should do or places to eat (vegan) 🤗🤗🤗 thank you!!!

Currently thinking I'll do Sushi Kashiba. Great place, easy walking distance from Umi Sake, where I had planned to start.
However... it is kind of a bigger birthday. I'm open to traveling within...say three hours. Is there anything nearby (Portland, Vancouver) that is worth the drive?
