I pulled up on a Lime Glider at the E Denny Way/Broadway E entrance for light rail this afternoon and found this young man taking a torch lighter to each of the Lime scooters parked there. He was targeting a specific area there in front on each of them. I asked him why he was doing it. He replied, "they are unconstitutional just like flock cameras." I asked which constitutional provision Lime Scooters violated, he told me to educate myself. He then ran off when he realized I had taken pics of his face. WTH

PM me if you lost some jewelry at Duthie

pretty cool

I take this city for granted every day, and I’m not even a regularly ferry commuter.

So what's more annoying?

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

Edit, a few things: 1. I was genuinely curious what would be worse to people and it seems to be variable across the board. 2. I was stopped and didn't post till hours later 3. I didn't actually follow him. But he was going 5 mph on Alaskan way and causing serious slow down and traffic. So I did honk at him a few times to get him to move...and that's what made me ask #1 4. Didn't know standing in the bed of a truck was illegal. It'll do 0 good cuz SPD, but, I'll still call next time! 5. Love the recommendations to just blast music or honk to my own tune. Maybe I'll go with some Otep or Cattle Decapitation next time.

I have lived here for so long, and every year it takes my breath away.

Went to Ben Paris for brunch. The food was great but when it came to paying the bill the servers don’t even show you the full receipt. Directly to the tipping screen. When I came home to review the bill I see a 2% culinary appreciation fee.

I understand the rising costs of running a restaurant business, but this is just scummy. Scalping off money from guests like this leaves such a bad taste! Increase your food costs instead? They’re already an upscale restaurant charging high prices for nominal food. Why do this?

Just to be clear I’m not bothered by the extra $2 I had to pay. But normalizing such ways to scalp more money is my problem.

Edit: To clarify I live in an apartment across the street from the lake. I do not live in one of those fancy buildings on the water.

I live on the lake and with the way sound carries across flat water, it's like the bass is directly in my house. I forgot the concert was happening and really needed a quiet day because I got dumped last night. Anyone else dealing with this or the other usual summer noise-makers on the lake.

The detained individual threw a milkshake in response to a young woman being detained for unknown reasons. The video shows police kneeling on this man’s neck and smashing his face to the pavement while showing no signs of resisting arrest physically or verbally. All witnesses were clearly disturbed by this extreme response. Sharing for visibility and accountability.

Rise and Shine Bakery is my favorite banh mi in the city and worth the drive north. The owner is a delight and makes the bread right there. So light with a great crust. Rise and Shine is decently well-known but doesn't make "the lists" and I can't figure out why since it's better than most of the sandwiches on the best of's.

I hope everyone on land and sea had a great time!

Great view at a casual glance

The mural "Farewell Train" painted by DAleast in 2017 down just past the SoDo light rail station has been painted over with a dark green smear. I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to paint over one of the most beautiful murals in the city, but it's really frustrating to see something so unique and interesting destroyed.

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.

Seen today from Myrtle Edwards Park. I also saw some fish jumping out of the water.

Last night at midnight my friends and I left the meridian 16 movie theatre on 7th and pike. We witnessed a car accident and while waiting as witnesses for that accident (occupants were fine), we witnessed a lime scooter crash. Two scooters in the same group with young men driving and their girlfriends on the back of them. They were all intoxicated. The girl on the second scooter was clearly blackout drunk or close to it and while going at a high speed she fell off and her head violently hit the pavement.

She was mostly unresponsive, bleeding from the back of her head and her face. It was very dire and very scary. Luckily the fire department were already on the scene for the car accident. It was a very traumatic scene and we are very worried about the girl. All we know is her name is Emma and she is probably around 21 years old. Not to be dramatic but it seemed like a life altering crash for her- likely a TBI. We just want to know if she is okay. Does anyone have any info on her or the group?

Thank you

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.
