Hey Seattle we are at a complete loss and need tenant advice immediately.

I live at Tower 12 Apartment Homes (managed by Weidner Apartment Homes). Back in September, our building went without hot water for over 7 full days. We have elderly and disabled neighbors living here whose daily health, hygiene, and dignity were severely impacted.

When we asked for fair rent credits for lost habitability, management refused. When residents left honest 1-star reviews online to warn others, management got them scrubbed and deleted.

AND TODAY IT GOT WORSE

We were just standing in our lobby handing out flyers to organize our neighbors outside of management's moderated online app. The building director walked out and claimed she “just got off the phone with their legal department” and told us that what we were doing was illegal and that they would have security FORCIBLY REMOVE US if we didn’t stop and leave the lobby immediately.

Except under Seattle law (SMC 22.206.180), tenants have an EXPLICIT LEGAL RIGHT to organize, leaflet, distribute information, and gather in common areas without landlord harassment, interference, or retaliation.

Multiple residents have already filed code complaints with the city (SDCI), but management using fake legal threats and security to intimidate tenants into silence is out of control.

What is our best move right now? How do we hold Weidner accountable for illegal tenant intimidation and habitability breaches?

Im trying to sticker bomb the batteries on my wheelchair lmao

I like it, but why?

Does anyone know where to find good local artists within the Seattle area? I am working on a TTRPG game and I am at the point where I'm needing a lot of artwork to flesh out my world. However, I refuse to work with AI so I figured I would try to find a local artist to work with.

If anyone can lead me to the right place, that would be most appreciated.

Anyone know what happened last night? SFD said, “scene of violence” and 5+ emergency response vehicles showed up. They were there for a while.

Anyone know where I could find mastic? I need it for a recipe but it’s proving difficult to source.

Celebrating my wife’s birthday next weekend (Oct 24) and she loves Mount Rainier. Any recommendations for a nice hotel within an hour of Seattle that has a great view of the mountain? Any hidden gems?

Thanks!

Going to the lantern festival tomorrow and was curious if anyone had any tips for parking near Seward park?

Curious if anyone has done the underground tour and if was good/worthwile experience? Looks like it’s gonna be crappy out tomorrow, I want to find something fun to do out the rain I can get some good photos of

We are implants from Louisiana. I have a 4 yr old grand daughter and a 6 year old grandson. And our family loves Halloween. But, we are currently in South Seattle and our area is not really lit for anything like that. Any suggestions?

Hallo & happy Friday! I'm considering a part time job alongside my 9-5 and would like to know your other role if you're in a similar position.

Thank uu!

Trying to find a place to chill and draw nearby when I want to go out but need to keep things lowkey, ideally with music/live music. I live in Greenwood. I love Swamp Cow Kava Lounge (which, if you are in the Belltown area, great sober place to keep things chill) but some days it's a bit too far.

I live out near Ellensburg and bought a flight out of Seattle on the 23rd of December. How bad does it usually get snow-wise? Can my Honda accord make it through the pass or am I royally cooked? Are there alternate routes that are better? Do I need to buy chains now or hope for the best later? Thanks!!!

been feeling down lately. want to try new things or find small things i can do to feel more comfortable. all suggestions welcome.

Does anyone know of any good primary doctors in South Seattle that are well versed in chronic illnesses (epilepsy, complex migraines, hEDS, MCAS, chronic urticaria, POTS, etc)?

Hey everyone,

My partner and I are visiting Seattle early January and we’re coming from SoCal. As you can presume, we are not used to cold weather and I am very worried about being unprepared for this trip. Id also like to mention this will be our first solo trip, so I have no fucking clue what i’m doing. I’d like to ask if anyone could give any advice/suggestions as to what to bring and as well as what to do. I thought bringing a somewhat decent puffy jacket, layering, and a pair of 1420 doc martens were enough until I learned it wasn’t. Thanks for reading, any advice would be appreciated. 🫪

EDIT: we do enjoy colder, gloomy, and rainy days so thats why we aimed for January.

If your family moved from DFW to Seattle with older kids, what took more adjustment than you expected?

This family has one child in college and another in high school. The appeal is the climate, access to nature and potential career opportunities. Higher living costs are already on the list of concerns; I'm more interested in the parts that are harder to price in advance.

How did the move affect the kids' routines and your own day-to-day life? Was there anything you wish you'd checked before committing?

On the work side, testing a few suitable roles before moving seems more useful than assuming the location alone improves the options. For anyone juggling that with family logistics, spending less time filling out applications is a practical reason to try autofill.

Would you make the move again, and would you change the timing around school?

I pay 900$ for a studio in North Seattle all bills paid, my rent was recently drastically increased to 900$. I was just wondering if I should look at other places

Hi all!

I’m from Australia and moved to Seattle a decade ago. I grew up sailing from a family of sailors and am looking to get back into in over here.

Any recommendations on how to get involved / find a crew spot on a yacht here? Not looking for anything too hardcore but evening / weekend racing.

Thanks for the suggestions!

My gardening needs have changed and I’ve been going through my seed binder and I have a ton of partially used packets of seeds that I’m not going to need. Is there a place I can donate these seeds? The vast majority are flower seeds, but there are a few tomato, bean, and gourd seeds mixed in there too.

Only a couple months until I’m 21 so plz refrain from any 21+ venues but I’m open to everything including the freaky side of Seattle iykwim. Looking for good late night restaurants or fun things to do or even the kinky side. Thanks!!!

Any thrift stores carry used glasses/frames? I’ve been checking and can’t find much

Howdy howdy! I apologize if this is the wrong sub, but this has been nagging me since like 2011 when I found out it had existed.

What was the Kingdome actually like to see events in and such before it got imploded? I know it was a multi-use stadium that wasn’t good at any of them, and people pissed in the sinks, but past that I don’t know much.

Thank you very much in advance for any response, and I hope y’all have a wonderful day!

I went to a restaurant/coffee house in Seattle years ago that had amazing Vietnamese coffee. It was a quaint little 2 story house. Restaurant upstairs. Coffee shop downstairs. I met my niece there maybe like 8-10 years ago. I still think about that coffee. She doesn’t remember where it was. I’m wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone and if they are still in business.
Thanks!
