i got obsessed with manintree at 1:30 am and saw on periscope a drone, drunk people yelling at him, and a dude show up with a bb gun and get arrested

Light rail has been around for, like, 6 years! We just got another 5 miles and 2 stops added. Another 100 miles of track and we'll be on par with...every other major city, half a century ago.

how about this weather
― slathered in cream and covered with stickers (silby), Friday, 14 October 2016 18:05 (seven years ago) link
Pretty common to have strong storms like these in November and December. October is a bit early, but not unheard of. It's just nasty when you lose power and there are fallen trees all over, but it's not like these are hurricanes or anything.

This shit will leave tomorrow maybe? Walked out of the library this evening and felt my eyes burning. Really don't enjoy the sense that I'm endangering my health by biking to work.

My partner who is from San Diego assures me it could be much worse
― softie (silby), Friday, 11 August 2017 04:44 (six years ago) link
It does suck majorly though, and I assume it will only get worse in years to come.

Lived in eastern WA for a decade until this summer, didn't know "fire season" was a thing and absolutely don't miss it.
― joygoat, Friday, 11 August 2017 11:58 (six years ago) link
a couple of years ago the smoke in vancouver was so bad for a few days in the summer that you could look directly at the sun in the sky at noon and the entire town smelled like a (gross) campfire. there also was a silty film all over the ground from where the ashes were lightly falling.
with climate change i really think that it will cease to be pleasant to live here soon enough
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Friday, 11 August 2017 17:25 (six years ago) link
It's just ugly, it hasn't affected me physically. I bike 16-25 miles commuting to and from work every day and it hasn't been an issue. It's just ruining the joy I get from seeing those perfect blue skies and the mountains in the disatance.

Cafe Racer closing for good on Wednesday.
― JoeStork, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 02:09 (six years ago) link
Racer was the place I told visitors and recent transplants to go to in Seattle, because it would unfailingly give you good vibes about the city. Whether or not the Seattle Freeze exists, people would talk to you there. And the people there endured one of the more horrifying events in recent local history, and had the strength to come back and reopen the place, and it's a real punch in the gut that it won't be around anymore.

fuuuuuuck Tim Eyman.

Wife and I got in one last Washington absentee vote before moving to AZ this month where our blue votes will count for so much more.
― Yelploaf, Wednesday, 6 November 2019 19:29 (four years ago) link
Given the deteriorating streets/roads around here, sad that people would be short-sighted on this one. Not to mention the dozen repeal/maintain advisory votes on the ballot that are also Eyman-related.

the local stuff gets a bit lost in the shuffle of the virus threads, but Tom Douglas just closed all his restaurants for the next couple months and laid off 800 employees with no severance pay.

Closing the libraries for a month.
― JoeStork, Friday, 13 March 2020 01:09 (four years ago) link
Now that there’s less ambiguity than there was a week ago on what the response here would be like, I’m fairly sanguine about how this will all go here in the next few months, at least healthwise. Wrenching for performance groups, will be fatal for an unknown number of restaurants.
― silby, Friday, 13 March 2020 01:25 (four years ago) link
Anyway to check in on the questions in the thread title, Seattle is fine tho anyone who has lived here even a little bit longer than I have could justifiably say it sucks now; there’s jobs of certain kinds and low unemployment but as a loathsome computer person my perspective on jobs is irrelevant; and you should move here bc the weather is perfect 400 days a year.
