You loved the ferry planter; I also made a Volunteer Park Conservatory planter because I love its architecture, and it just felt right.

(yes it got slightly messed up while printing, but I still love it)

Unfortunately I was sitting a bit too far back for my rear camera to capture the impact, but between the front and rear cameras, the jolt of the bus and the car in front of it being impacted is obvious. The car was stopped and the light had been red for probably 30 seconds. They immediately pulled off onto Yesler with apparent rear bumper damage, while the bus just went straight on their way.

I reported it to King County Metro and Seattle PD.

Does 10 blocks north of Seattle count?

Feels like it spent all year getting ready for these few ‘peak’ days?! Hope folks enjoy it!

This is kinda weird but I’m figuring I can’t be the only one who experiences this?

When I’m driving on I-5, between the stadiums and the Seneca exit, my bluetooth in the car cuts out. It also happens on parts of capitol hill, and on 99, before the tunnel.

One of my weird coworkers (who is literally crazy) has a theory that the city has “blockers” placed but that sounds insane to me.

Anyone else?

My "best friend" ditched me with a stranger we had just met. That stranger ended up being a trespasser at the building we were at, so they almost arrested me too, even though I have my own damn place to be safe at, and the guy that actually lived there left with my friend back to his place. I dont know that many people here since I moved here 2 years ago. I've tried making friends but Im beginning to think they aren't truly there for me, leaving me with random people we meet on the street. I feel so defeated, like it's not safe for me out there anymore.

Looking for female friends, or a good trusty group of people that would welcome a new person to their group. Being alone, and feeling unsafe to even meet new people, makes me feel so depressed and defeated. Please hmu.

I’m planning to go for a little photo walk this weekend at Discovery park. What are some areas/trails with good fall foliage? Thanks!

What on earth is going on today? 90 & 520 traffic both in the morning and this afternoon is insane.
