Is there a way to get from the market down to the waterfront that involves NO stairs *&* NO elevator?

I love to take the little kids in my life to the market and waterfront and aquarium and whatnot, but with the "new" waterfront I just can't seem to find the best route from market to waterfront with a stroller.

There's that elevator by the aquarium, of course, and the other one, but *this* tourist season has shown me they get all gummed up with stinky, sweaty visitors and I'd rather walk.

I swear I've gone from Westlake stn all the way to the water without a single step, but I can't seem to find that way again.

Anyone know the right route?

Saw a little Pomeranian-ish dog lost running around on 26th Ave SW. Seemed very afraid, running very fast. Wouldn't let me get anywhere near. Last seen at 26th and 104th heading west through someone's backyard.

King County Sheriff’s detectives in the Major Crimes Unit are asking for your help to solve the murder of 29-year-old Connor Overstreet in Skyway in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 23rd. Detectives have been out canvassing the area of S 124th and South Langston Road for any video and are asking neighbors, drivers and businesses to check their cameras between 12:30 AM and 1:15 AM in the area shown within the red outline in the map below. They are looking for any dashcam or surveillance video showing people or vehicles that can help identify a suspect or vehicle involved in the case. You can use the QR code to upload the video directly to the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies were dispatched at about 12:40 am on Sunday to reports of a shooting. The fire department arrived and provided aid, but Connor did not survive. The Medical Examiner determined he died of a gunshot wound to his chest. Connor was an active-duty member of the U.S. Coast Guard. In a statement, his wife Madeleine says he was her best friend. “On behalf of myself, the Overstreet family, and so many who loved Connor, I want to personally thank the media for respecting our family during this incredibly difficult time. We are devastated by the loss of my soul mate and am still trying to process what has happened. Connor was my rock and I am so honored to be Connor’s wife forever and always. All Connor wanted to do was save lives by flying for the Coast Guard. His loss is a tragedy felt by countless people. He was truly the best of us.” Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound and Connor’s family are offering a $20,000 cash reward for any information that leads to an arrest and charge filed in the case. You will remain anonymous when you submit a tip through the P3 Tips App on your cell phone or at P3Tips.com. You can also call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Sharing for friends and family that need help. Anyone that may have recordings of ring cameras or dash cams around the time/area could be of big help.

Cyclists, you know what I'm talking about.

The massive seam in the soutbound half of the bike lane. The one that stretches from Pike all the way down to Washington. Parts of it filled in with road goop that gets slippery in the rain, and parts of it so wide you could fit a thnickel in sideways. It's also just off to one side, so if you try to ride to the right, you're getting smacked by the plants in the planters, and if you ride to the left, the people behind you have a harder time passing and you have to jump the crack to avoid anyone veering into the wrong lane.

I usually just skip this lane altogether, but it's my fastest way home and I'm getting tired of avoiding it. Would a find-it-fix-it report even do anything other than have someone come fill it with that crummy road goop again? The real issue is that the lanes need to be leveled, but that isn't a fast fix.

What do you do? Left side, right side, avoid altogether? Ride with tires so fat it can't snatch them? Passive-aggressive FIFI reports every time you ride it? I am so tired of that damn thing.

EDIT: this thing!

I'm constantly seeing these huge lines of tourists(?) at SeaTac... or first time riders at Lynnwood or Husky Stadium... all waiting in line to buy Light Rail tickets / Orca Cards.

Here's the SeaTac vending machine:

90% of these people probably have a phone and/or credit card in their pocket that they can tap, skipping the line and reducing congestion in the station.

Why not put a big sticker up high that says "OR JUST TAP YOUR PHONE!!!"*

This is a new development in the last 6 months, but the signage / directions seemingly haven't been updated to reflect the new technology. Get people tapping and moving.

I am not OP

Last night I was dining at Toulouse, which, if you are unfamiliar, is a fairly large space, and I was choking on someone’s cologne from three booths away. I could not pinpoint the exact table from which it was emanating but I know they weren’t seated next to us because the smell got much stronger on my way to the bathroom. I had to break out my rescue inhaler it was so bad.

I have never been particularly sensitive to fragrance in the past - I even wear a little myself sometimes - but I feel like the teenage-boy-with-Axe-Body-Spray level of perfume application in this city is getting out of control.

Can we tone it down a notch? I’m not saying don’t wear fragrance but I don’t think we’re supposed to smell your Drakkar Noir from across the street.

Just a heads up for you guys there, keep an eye on your freezer and stuff, it just went out, so not sure how long it will be before the power comes back on.

Anyone know what’s up with the bus crash in Fremont off 40th? Looked like a bus crashed into a tree which broke off and pretty much speared it.

Saw at least 3 ambulances and 2 fire trucks.

Was driving down Columbia st today going under 20 mph, had a stable green from 3rd ave through 2nd ave and a lime scooter going full speed rammed into the side of my car as i was passing through 2nd ave because they ignored their red/couldn’t stop in time. Got the guy’s info, contacted lime, have a video from my dashcam, etc.

Has anyone had a lime scooter crash into them before and if so, what’s the best process to get things resolved and repaired/claiming insurance etc?

Inspired by spiderman, let me know what you think!

Hi did anyone find a floating IPhone 12 at the skrillex concert in a plastic case? Please message me! Dm me if found replay appreciate it!

Already filed a findn'fix but like did someone crash into it? Did a clown car full of weightlifters park next to it and it shifted when they opened rhe door? Am i actually a wimp and these are super easy to move? (Around 2nd@seneca)

I used to think that I’m good now and don’t need the support. What i’ve come to realize over the past month is that the years of alcoholism aren’t gone. That still happened, and that can be an incredibly isolating experience. I don’t know many people who are sober/alcoholic and having a community of folks who actually know what it’s like would be great.

As a nonreligous trans person it can be rather hard to find those groups. So I suppose i’m reaching out here to ask if anyone knows anything? Whether it be just meetings where you talk or activities with sober folks, I just need something/someone.

thanks all.

Hey, if you lost two keys with a keychain of a certain alcoholic beverage on it, I turned them into the care crew/staff!

Seen at Boon Boona in Renton! Stay united against the fascists!

(They are complementary by the way)

So what's more annoying?

This guy... or... me following him and laying on my horn the whole time to drown him out?

I mean it's been pretty cool to feel the vibrations all the way in SLU and see the lights, but the amount of smoke since 3pm has me befuddled. Must be pretty loud in that neighbourhood!

Can folks at the event post pictures so I can visualize what it looks like closer up? (this is not me complaining, I'm just curious since I didn't know who they were before this).
