How much can Amazon/Doordash/Instacart drivers make a day in the Seattle area?
I was thinking of working a few days a week.
Is it worth it?

My son is getting married in 1.5 years and I'd like to save some $ money for the rehearsal dinner. 💒

Based on a few negative comments I thought I would update info:

I probably should have just left it at how much $ you can make vs telling everyone why I wanted to $$.

My son hasn’t asked for a thing toward the wedding, and I don’t expect he will. He’s never been one to ask us for anything.

My husband and I are both retired. We could pull money from savings or investments to help, but honestly, I’d rather not dip into what we’ve set aside for retirement.

Thanks in advance!!!

Was just in SF for a week and it was so much cleaner and safer than Seattle outside Tenderloin. Even SOMA cleaned up. Didn’t see any tents or addicts for miles and miles of walking downtown SF. The city was vibrant too and retail seemed thriving. I have never felt so carefree as I was in SF last week, meanwhile I’m now constantly on guard walking around downtown Seattle and Belltown. Even in the daytime. It used to be the reverse between SF and Seattle.

Since when did progressivism in Seattle meant being so averse to pragmatic results and maintaining nice public spaces? Shootings daily now, even in Kerry Park this past weekend. Tents now about as bad as peak Covid after years of improving under Harrell. Do progressives not understand their policies are hurting the lower and lower middle class the most? Rich people have the means to leave and live in isolated enclaves like Madison Park and Olympic Manor. The poor have to deal with meth crazed addicts on the bus, in our parks and streets. Mom and pop businesses with razor thin margins have to deal with another broken window and rising insurance premiums. Somehow none of these people count in the progressive worldview. It’s actually cruel at this point.

The Seattle city council and our mayor need to go take a field trip to SF and learn from them. Put the ideology aside and actually deliver for the public.

Went to SeaTac to drop off someone. The lines for security check at all checkpoints were insane. Has it been like this for sometime? Or is it just today?

What are some recommendations for good bands I can listen to or go see live around Seattle? Preferably rock / shoe-gaze adjacent. Thanks!

I found this bike ran into the ground near my apartment. It was in rough shape and was left to rot. Im in the process of cleaning it up. As you can see I have a way to go, but it is at least functional now. There is a u-lock locked to the back which makes me wonder if this was stolen. If you have the key to the u-lock it is obviously your bike. Message me! :)

Edit: I would like to extend a warm welcome to today's visitors from r/Seattle! Your thoughtful comments always add so much value to the conversation and are sure to win many hearts and minds.

The exodus of Columbia Bank executives began with CEO Clint Stein, who sold his Auburn home (for $2.45 million in September) to relocate to Arizona permanently. According to The Puget Sound Business Journal, the company said new Washington taxes are costing it approximately $8 million a year, prompting the decision to move most executive roles to Arizona.

More than 2 million invasive green crabs were captured in Washington state from July 2025 to June 2026, smashing previous records. More European green crabs were trapped in those 12 months than in all previous years combined since the pinchy invaders were first documented in Washington state in 1998.

State and federal agencies spent at least $8 million fighting the European green crab in Washington in the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Between professionals and volunteers, some 500 people in Washington set and check traps targeting the green crabs.

~ A record catch sounds like progress until you notice it doubled. 500 trappers, $8 million, and the warm El Niño winter is still ahead of us.

I’m deeply saddened by RJ Mitte’s death. If I can make a difference for even one person who’s struggling, I want to.

If you’re feeling lonely, having a hard time mentally, or struggling socially, you’re welcome to reach out. We can talk, you can vent, or we can grab coffee, take a walk, or do something you enjoy. No pressure to be outgoing or pretend you’re okay.

Your age, gender, race, or appearance don’t matter to me. How you’re doing matters. Sometimes having someone listen and
spend time with you can help you feel seen.

I’m in West Seattle and prefer meeting here or around downtown, somewhere public. Feel free to message, even if it’s just “I could use some company.”

He littered it with King County Council campaign flyers. Knock that shit off, Nick Duda.
