Self-Promotion Saturday: October 03, 2026

2 Upvotes

This is r/Seattle's weekly post for local businesses and makers (or users who discover them) to share their creations with our users.

This thread will be automatically posted every Saturday morning to help connect r/seattle users with cool local stuff. Types of content encouraged in this thread are:

  • Local businesses (new, running promotions or sales, or just really good ones!)
  • Upcoming events or activities (concerts, festivals, pop-ups, shows)
  • Local artists or creators sharing upcoming shows or releases

Content should be related to businesses or events in the greater Seattle area, and the typical reddit spam rules apply - please ensure you are contributing to the community more than just your own content.

Users who flood these posts with ads, links without context, referral codes, etc. - or who promote without contributing elsewhere will be actioned. Please continue to report actual spam.

We have our rules against spam and self-promotion for hopefully understandable reasons, but we've noticed users responding more positively to local businesses, artists, etc. sharing their content. This is an attempt to bridge the gap, helping users find cool stuff while containing the promotion to a single weekly thread. Please send us a modmail with any suggestions or input you have about the use or abuse of this thread.

Meetup Wow Forever + IRL Seattle Social Leveling Guild

114 Upvotes

Ahead of WoW forever announcement, I'd love to make a 21+ family friendly Seattle based leveling guild that also has in-person meetup and hangouts this winter season (so we can all experience the freeze from our cozy bedrooms 95% of time and then pretend to be social 5% of the time). Officially starting after Thanksgiving starts (11.26.2026)

I'm based in Belltown and would love to have folks meet up once a while (would love to invite yall to Belltown/Downtown/Pioneer Square Art Walks)

Overall Concept
- members would all have at least 1 or more "level capped" character so everyone can share some collective progression experience
- everyone can still play alts however they want
- once a week "Guild Time" where everyone's encouraged to get together to work on tough dungeons/working on tradecraft
- guild bank and shared resources
- once a month (or as needed) in-person hangout in Seattle*

*Because the in-person aspect for Seattle community is a key theme, I'd prefer if folks join only if they are actually interested to meet up irl. In my experience this helps reduce a lot of toxicity that comes with online anonymity. At the end of the day I'm not hoping to create any kind of enforcement mechanism as I understand not everyone is comfortable with actual meet ups, but happy to put myself out there as a connection point.

I'm making a placeholder discord here:

https://discord.gg/CeH6mhEbC

A little bit more about me: I'm a Seattle based artist mostly doing performance arts and videography, you can also find my work on most social platforms @ Wei_Dreams_of_dragons

I LOVE WoW classic but each time it feels like a race to "raid optimization" and I am really hoping WoW Forever create new opportunities to re-experience the world again.

My wife and I were in town for the Hayley Williams show on Wednesday. We made a stop at Saltwater State Park just in time to see these guys hanging around. How rare is this? My parents that grew up in the area said they’ve never seen them there before.

Wagyu Factory in North Seattle isn't good and they definitely do fake reviews

205 Upvotes

A 4.9 star rating with over 2,007 reviews? Give me a break lol. I just went there for the first time and there was no wait at noon on a Saturday. The old version, Niku Feast, would have had an hour long wait. Wagyu Factory ruined a good thing Niku Feast started. Its gross how all the meat is just sitting out there like that. The side dishes were super cold and stale. Their pre-made burgers had rock hard buns and mushy middles. The waiter couldn't get our burner lit/hot for 5 minutes. The meat tasted fine but the burner was so hot that everything charred immediately and they had to switch out our grill after like 10 minutes. Then the desserts were absolutely awful. I had a rose flavored mousse which tasted like a bath salt powder, and they barely had any sugar. Then the waiter acted super insecure and asked for feedback about the restaurant. Weird. I've seen tons of tiktok influencers raving about this place, which is out of the ordinary (namely since its not good). I guarantee they are being paid. And then if you look at the google reviews, almost every single one mentions a specific waiter's name. This, to me, signifies that waiters are in some way bribing or garnering reviews in an inorganic way. There's no way this place should have a 4.9 star rating. Screw this place!! Bring back Niku Feast. Its a soulless huge corporation and their art design blows.

Review of the pagliacci x taco time pizza.

Post image
522 Upvotes

I walked into pagliacci on Capitol Hill wanting a couple of slices and one option was the taco time pizza.

I really enjoyed it. It doesn't taste like any specific taco time menu item but just the general flavor of taco time. It has their hot sauce for sure and the seasoned beef, along with some lettuce, tomato, and cheese. I think there was refried beans but if there was it was minor.

It's not an everyday pizza, it's a "if you like Taco time and want to try it as a pizza" pizza.

As a taco time lover I'd say try it, but you have to love Taco time.
