The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy. - John Lewis - US House Rep and Civil Rights Leader

Why are these in the window on 2nd and Cherry? We looked up who would be in this building and got ahold of the King County department of Public defense to ask what was going on. The response was that they would send someone to take a look. That seems to be all that did.

The first photo is from yesterday at 5pm and the others are today at 2pm after the call. I guess they figured closing the blinds would help?

Come support the local youth cheerleading team and enjoy our fall festival.

Idk if that was gunshots or fireworks but that was insanely weird.

You could buy a ticket to ultra Miami for the less money and see him plus dozens of other artists over 3 days for this price. Absolute insanity.

Wondering if anyone knows of any manga/light novel book clubs in or around the city?

Thank you!

Did anyone just see that huge meteor above Seattle? It’s luminosity was so intense and green

Hi all! I am deeply unwell and am seeking an inpatient mental health facility. I have also heard the horror stories of places that harm more than help.

If anyone has personal insight (yourself, a close friend/family member/acquaintance) into anywhere in the Seattle area, I would greatly appreciate any information. Where to go, where to avoid, red flags, etc. Literally any information, I will be deeply grateful for.

Thanks <3

Hey all,

I'm looking for someone who has legal experience in Washington state like an attorney, law student, paralegal, or elder care advocate who could help my family out pro bono. We're fighting an what we think is an unlawful discharge of my dad who has dementia from a memory care facility.

We're told you do not need to be a licensed lawyer to represent us in this administrative hearing but it would be incredibly helpful if you have legal experience within this specific space (elder law, long-term care regulations, or OAH appeals) to help us navigate the process for our dad.

If you are interested, please send me a DM! Thanks!

Yesterday, a friend and I walked to the waterfront by Queen Anne and noticed a line of water bottles and Caprisuns laid out on part of the walkway. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be an art piece or if someone just wants people to stay hydrated.

It felt weird to lay them out in a line instead of putting them in a bucket.

I know that it’s been bad with the ongoing bridge work, but the last two days have seemed extra extra horrible. Both days my commute after work has taken an extra 20 to 25 minutes.

Is there some extra factor I’m not aware of?

Genuinely really salty about this, I just bought a new sweater that I really like and it's been cold enough to actually wear it exactly once so far this fall. Its gonna be 74 on Friday?! I just want the warm weather to end. Genuinely thinking about moving out of the city just to escape the warm weather, it feels like summer just never ends these past few years

I know probably being paranoid but obviously this election matters a ton and just want to be sure my vote is counting!

I noticed a new (at least I think it's new) drop box on the NE corner of N 62nd and Phinney Ave N and just wondering if anybody could tell me if it's real/valid? I didn't see it in the local voters pamphlet but it is listed on the WA Secretary of State website so it likely is. Any info is helpful though!

Edit: it does show upon the official king county elections website so I think it's legit

Like title says, found an iPhone in the street in Eastlake last night. Couldn't find any contact info and although the "find my iPhone" alert was buzzing I couldn't figure out any way to respond - no emergency contact info, name, nothing. It seems the phone has now been wiped of all data soooo if this sounds like it's your phone please DM me! Lmk what intersection/street you think it was lost at, what model of iPhone and what the case & background look like so I can confirm.

A seagull just got hit by a Lime Glider near Occidental Gallery in Pioneer Square. It's alive but bleeding from the mouth.

PAWS will take it but doesn't transport, and I don't have a car or a box.
Looking for anyone who:
• Knows A vet that takes wildlife or has the capacity to transport it to PAWS
• Bring a cardboard box or carrier
• Knows a wildlife rescuer who can come out

Please comment or DM ASAP. Thank you
