Hi.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a service in Seattle where someone will come drive your car for a bit, or a service where you can hire a qualified driver(licenced 5+ yrs) or instructor to sit in the passenger seat while you drive? The issue I'm having is that the driving schools all seem to require use of their car, but I need someone to drive my car, just to even maintain it. I have a valid permit & have taken some lessons. I would like to be the one to drive it, ideally, since I need the practice anyway, but if not I'll take what I can.

And to filter out some questions: no I don't have friends or family that can drive or help me. They either 1) don't drive themselves 2) live too far away or 3) haven't driven in a long time, and haven't driven a hybrid before/don't seem willing to commit to actually having to do it semi-frequently.

If anyone could let me know how to go about even searching for this (google has been confusing, and the services I have found require you to have a driver for at least 2hrs, which to me is wildly unnecessary/expensive) I would really, really appreciate it.

Thanks!

ETA: I'm getting really annoyed, and that's partly on me, so TO BE CLEAR:

1. I am currently learning to drive. I have an instructor. Driving schools do not allow you to use your car. That's cool with me, no issue here.

2. The point of the post is because I have a car that I am trying to maintain. I am concerned with it just sitting in the driveway, and I know that I cannot legally drive it on my own. Hence the post.

Hello fellow Seattleites. I'm looking for a bar giving prime TV presence to the WNBA finals. I know about the usual suspects ie. the women's sports bars. But those get packed. Does anyone know of any others? Appreciate it.

Hi all! I’m looking to pick up a decent Chinese mahjong set to learn to play with some friends. I would prefer to shop local if possible, does anyone know of any shops that sell them? Thanks!

Hi Seattle!

My partner and I are expecting our first baby via surrogacy this January! We're coming from London and are looking for somewhere to stay for about a month, both while we wait for our daughter to arrive and for a few weeks after she's born.

Our surrogate will be delivering at UW Medical Center Northwest, so we'd ideally like to be within a reasonable driving distance of the hospital.

We've been looking at some places around Haller Lake, but we're not familiar with the area. I've read mixed things about safety and walkability, so I'd love to hear from people who actually live nearby.

We'll have a rental car, but we'd would love to stay somewhere within walking distance from cafés, restaurants, parks, and little shops to explore, especially while we're waiting for the baby to arrive. Once she's here, we'd also love somewhere we can comfortably take her out for walks in the pram.

A few questions:

• What's Haller Lake like these days? Would you feel comfortable walking around with a newborn?
• Are there other neighborhoods you'd recommend that are reasonably close to UW Northwest?
• If you were staying in Seattle for a month, where would you want to be based?

We're really looking forward to spending some time in Seattle and getting to know the city. Any local advice would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks so much!

I want to experiment with making my own musubi at home and need a mold for the rice and spam. Where in town has something like this, perhaps uwajimaya or another shop in the CID?

Coming to Seattle for the Seahawks versus Chiefs game, I saw that this deli is close to my hotel. Always enjoy a good corned beef or pastrami sandwich.
How is this Deli

Hi guys! I’m looking for good coffee roasters in Seattle. I’m looking for something local and medium-dark roast at a reasonable price. I really liked mukilteo beans a lot but I want to try something new and not something that’s store bought like Whole Foods/Target/Trader Joe’s. I also want the option to grind beans as per my choice because I have a lot of equipments at home.

So I am on EBT, and am also a student. I recently had someone move in with me from out of town. I've been poking around at getting the good discounts since neither of us have a ton to burn. But I keep seeing that the second person needs to be living at the same home address. Would a delivery package label to the new address that matches my student ID be enough?

Just curious cause I'd like to take them around before the weather gets too much cooler.

I’m a bigger guy, about 6’2”-6’3” 340ish lbs. and I’m looking to up my wardrobe and ideally support a local clothing spot. Anyone know of a good spot to go shopping for something fashionable for a bigger frame? Im avoiding online options for now because i prefer to actually go in and try things on to see how they look and fit. Looking for both professional and personal wear.

My sister is visiting next week and I was wondering if anyone knows of any Jimothy installed public art pieces.

I know of The Oatmeal’s Grimothy in Bainbridge and I found a little Jimothy altar at Biscuit and Bean in Ballard.

Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all! We are expecting our first baby in early November and she will be delivered via c-section. Does anyone have a great experience with a pelvic floor PT they'd like to recommend, for both prenatal and postnatal recovery after c-section delivery? I'm a small person with a huge-ass fetus, so I am assuming I will have some ab separation issues to manage as well. Thank you in advance!

Hi! Looking for a fun Sunday brunch/day party on November 1st for my 31st! Must have a live DJ, good drinks and a fun party atmosphere. Bonus points for rooftops or bottomless mimosas. Any recommendations?

Im a huge socialite and concert goer, I have been dreaming of moving somewhere bigger for years. I like the sound of Seattle because I have heard it is a haven for music and queer people. Indie music crowd and other seattle residents, should I give it a shot as a not quite broke 21 year old?

Is there a place in Seattle I can get Danbing (蛋餅) and Doujiang (豆漿)? I lived in Taipei for close to a year and have been craving Taiwanese breakfast recently.

Has anyone lived in those apartments , they seem pretty luxurious from the outside and I toured them recently but they have a high amount of vacancy, anyone have any idea why ? Also curious if anyone has lived at the modern.

Hello! I’m thinking about a palm reader for our company party. Any recommendations or experience doing this? Thanks!

Gna be down that way this week. Looking for a great breakfast place (more like grab and go then sit down) with either great scones or burritos, bagels or breakfast sandwiches. Or just another form of amazing breakfast. But also at an affordable price.

Also any great spots to get a lotus energy drink or a great latte… maybe pumpkin flavored.

Thanks!!

Hello, I’m 26F. For the past few weeks, I’ve been feeling really down and lonely. I am getting tired of having to eat alone, and not have any friends around.

If anyone would just want to hang out, talk or eat together. Please let me know

Title, and willing to go out of Seattle (1-2hrs)

Where can I go?? It would be nice if it had a option for a walk in or cheaper but I’d just like my options

Has anyone had any luck with a pregnancy-focused or friendly personal trainer in NE Seattle?
