Unfortunately my spa vacation to Scottsdale had to be cancelled. I was looking forward to a day at my favorite spa - deep tissue massage, enjoy their hydrotherapy circuit (sauna, steam room, cold plunge, waterfall room), luxuriate in the lounge and fancy locker room, and tan at the rooftop pool.

Whats the closest I could get to that in Seattle? I know the pool might be impossible.

I’ve been saving for a while so willing to spend $$$ for the right place.

I have about $20 in my Orca Card and I want to practice going back and forth downtown Seattle and Bellevue so I don't ever have to pay for parking for downtown events in Seattle.

Is it $3 per way and am I able to get on the light rail from Bellevue Park & Ride station? I live in Bellevue and I am trying to visit Chinatown for some friend gatherings.

I’ll be staying in Seattle for about 2.5 days at the end of June and I’m looking for accommodation recommendations.

I’m a solo female traveller and would ideally like to stay somewhere central so I can easily visit the main attractions. However, hotel prices seem to have skyrocketed (I’m guessing because of the World Cup), so I’m trying to find more budget-friendly options.

Does anyone have suggestions for:

- Cheaper neighbourhoods that are still safe

- Areas with good public transport access into downtown

- Any places/areas I should avoid

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thank you!

Does anyone have any experience using this practice? Any recs for both medication management for adhd and anxiety, as well as therapy? (Or anyone to avoid lol)

Thank you!

I’m new to PNW and wondering if I should do a day trip to Leavenworth this weekend.

I have been wanting to explore this magical town that has been going viral over social media, but I couldn’t make it in the holiday season due to having a RWD car and no snow tires…

I’m not really looking to hike but wouldn’t mind a short one if it’s worth the views.

If I visit Leavenworth should I bring along my dog or would I not be able to enjoy it as much?

If not, are there other cities outside king county which are worth visiting in the spring that are dog friendly?

Thanks in advance!

Looking for the best sit down brunch recommendations in the Queen Anne to Downtown area! Looking for more unique brunch options while a friend is town. We are planning to visit Ludis one day already.

Hey all, I'm a travel nurse that'll be coming to Seattle the summer. I have a dog and car. I've wanted to explore Seattle but I don't know much about the city and neighborhood overall.

Can you tell me a little bit about the different neighborhoods and places to live / places to avoid.

Also looking for ideas on how or where to get short term rentals.

Edit: I'll be at harborview medical center

Hoping to see Project Hail Mary this weekend on the big screen before it leaves theaters soon.

My normal theater is AMC Oak Tree (near Northgate). Thinking of Pac Sci IMAX but don’t want to wait in line in hopes of getting a good seat, plus I’m reading it’s not a true IMAX screen regarding size.

What do you all recommend in or near Seattle?

title, I’m going on sunday and hoping to not spend the whole movie craning my neck

I'm planning a work trip to Seattle next month and we will need to get from Bellingham to Bremerton. I was planning on taking the Edmonds to Kingston Ferry, and was curious about how early before the departure time from Edmonds will we need to arrive? We would ideally like to take either the 1240 or 135 ferry out of Edmonds and would value any advice this group has!

Preferably the South end up to the ID or West Seattle. Preferably organic & free range

I’m having to leave back home out of state but other previous plans I have to leave my car at the airport or nearby. What’s the best option? I almost never leave my car there but I have to, looking for safest location, proximity and price per day. What’s the best, even if I have to compromise on one option?

Hello Seattle!

I’m looking for recommendations for a spot for myself to camp, away from lots of people/noise. Do any of you outdoorsy people know of any spots or have any ideas? I know it’s not exactly allowed- but I’m looking for a cool stealth camping spot, just for one night. Ideally with a good view or somewhere cool but any idea is welcome. Appreciate it!

What’s also welcome is people telling me that it’s not allowed and against the rules and anything of that flavor! Thank you!

I’m also happy to pivot to messages or email if you don’t want to post ya spots on the interwebs.

Outside! Summer! Yay!

Hello

I’m at a loss. It seems I can’t find any stores that sell fish/aquarium supplies in the city. I breed fish and it’s getting tiring having to make my way to Everett every time I need something since I don’t have a car.

Does anyone know anywhere in the city that would have what I’m looking for? I literally can’t believe there isn’t one single aquarium store here.

The daily obligatory question. Has anyone flown out of SeaTac recently, and if so what was the security line wait time for you?

Before I get the comments saying it’s a seafood place, I know that. My friends made a reservation there and are already planning on going. I’m vegetarian (not super strictly though, so I can definitely have the salads that might have fish in the dressing) but I was hoping for something more filling. Does anyone know what vegetarian options or substitutions they offer?

There were two fire trucks and some cops and a school bus and I could see a bit of smoke. I haven’t found anything when googling and I wanted to see what happened and if the kids were okay. It was near Sandal Park, it was 90th and 3rd I believe.

Specifically interested in a neck lift. Thanks!

Hi yall - I'm 25F moving to Seattle for an internship over the summer. The internship is in the downtown area, but I'm trying to find a neighborhood that has a combination of being safe enough for a gal on her own but also has easy access to the downtown area.

I was planning on bringing my car since I hope to go on some hikes (I'm from Colorado hehe), but finding a studio with parking and laundry AND in a safe part of town?!

I would LOVE some insight on the areas that would provide for my needs :')

I brought a small claim case in Washington against my former landlord, regarding a security deposit withholding without itemized receipt/invoice. We had just gone to trial. I won the case, but the judgment amount is significantly lower than what I had expected based on the law.

I had the house cleaned thoroughly when I moved out. My landlord withheld a significant amount of money from my security deposit, stated that it was for cleaning, without providing any receipts or invoices to show such cleaning happened. In my view, this is a direct violation of RCW 59.18.280 ("the landlord shall give a full and specific statement of the basis for retaining any of the deposit, and any documentation required by (b)"). Therefore, the landlord would be "liable to the tenant for the full amount of the deposit."

Additionally, through the entire legal proceeding process, the landlord stated that the cleaning was done through third-party, and that the cleaning cost was determined by third-party invoices. Yet the landlord never showed any such invoices. Several other pieces of evidence strongly suggest that the landlord fabricated the cleaning charge and intentionally refused to provide documentation. Therefore, per RCW 59.18.280 ("The court may in its discretion award up to two times the amount of the deposit for the intentional refusal of the landlord to give the statement, documentation, or refund"), I asked for twice the deposit as damages.

The judge completely ignored the fact that the landlord failed to follow the legal documentation requirement, and without looking at the photographic evidence of the cleaned home taken when I moved out, decided that it would be fair to award me half the cleaning cost that the landlord had withheld from my security deposit, stating that the home needed to be cleaned. He ignored the claim of intentional refusal and said that he didn't award double damages because he believed the landlord acted in good faith.

Should I file an appeal to the Superior Court?
