Cap Hill lesbian field guide, please <3

Upvotes

I know it’s the gayborhood, so everywhere is pretty gay lol, but I’m newish and curious about your favorite sapphic/lesbian/queer spaces in Cap Hill (besides the rose and rain city fit, which I love)!

Could be cafés, activities, bars, bookstores, shops, bonus points for places where the sporty/masc folks hang out 👀, spas, etc. Basically anywhere good for making more queer/sapphic friends~ or maybe even meeting a new lover 🥰

Also very open to spots outside the Hill. Thank you thank you!!

Question Question for my seattle based project: What is something your mama taught you?

Upvotes

I'm a Seattle musician and I'm putting out an ethereal folk album in 2 months called "Mama Knows Best". Part of my project is asking people what their mothers taught them. I would love to hear your answers however sweet or raw or painful.

*I might post your response in my social media and you are welcome to message me to ask where to find it! I'm avoiding the self promotion that isn't permitted on this sub by not sharing it in the post.

This is Seattle relevant because this project is Seattle based, but if mods remove the post, I understand.

Legal Advice - Seattle Liveaboard Tenant 30 Days Notice to Vacate

Upvotes

Hi legal folks - I am a liveaboard tenant at a marina in Seattle and I was given a notice to vacate based on some issues/concerns I brought up with management. It’s completely retaliatory and I have no place to go in such short notice. Wildly abusive on the part of the landlord. Ping me if you can offer any help, advice, suggestions, or guidance. Thank you!

Local disc resurfacer?

Upvotes

Hey, my kiddo is scratching up my old game discs, movies, etc.

I know, I’m a weirdo who still has discs because I dislike paying for monthly streaming services and game passes.

Where can I go that has a resurfacer at a reasonable price?

Another castle has one, but they charge $5 a disc (once upon a time it was $1), so that gets expensive quick.

Chinese school recs for kids (weekends/eastside preference)?

3 Upvotes

Looking for Chinese language schools for kids. The ones I've found have mostly been around traditional chinese / bopomofo (e.g. https://seattlechineseschool.org/), with one mentioning pinyin / simplified chinese (https://yucaichineseschool.org/).

But there isn't a ton of reviews about the options in Seattle, so wanted to get thoughts from the hivemind. My preference is towards pinyin-based, for what I learned wrt phonetics.

Any advice/help is welcome

Pottery or other art? What are you doing with it all?

2 Upvotes

I got into pottery when I was laid off, and I just have so much of it. I have taken a bunch to the little pottery library in Magnolia, but I was wondering about another option.

Are there any art fairs or other ways to sell art when you just do this for fun?

Moving / Visiting Ten Day Holiday in Seattle

5 Upvotes

Hi there,

I'm planning a ~10 day trip somewhere for my birthday next month, and I'm thinking of visiting Seattle. Is ten days too long to spend there? Any recommendations on places to visit within a few hours' travel during this time? I'd like to travel the region a little, so I was thinking of potentially catching a train down to Portland or somewhere for a few days.

Any suggestions welcome.

Question Donation locations

5 Upvotes

Just wondering if anyone knows any genuine donation sites for things likes clothes and stuffed animals. I usually donate to goodwill when getting rid of stuff, but I would prefer finding a place that's more community focused. The stuffed animals especially I have a lot of and some are in perfect condition, like squishmallows with the tags still attached. And since we will soon be in the fall season, any coats I decide to get rid of would probably be more beneficial to others than they are to me.

Where to Stay as Tourists?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ll be visiting Seattle with my girlfriend for 4 days, and we’re planning to visit Pike Place, Mount Rainier, and do some shopping in Bellevue and downtown Seattle.

A few questions:

- What area of Seattle would you recommend staying in?

- How is the public transportation? Is it easy to get around without a car?

- Would you recommend renting a car just for our Mount Rainier day, or keeping one for the entire 4-day trip?

Any recommendations for things we should do or places we should check out would also be appreciated. Thank you!

Is Seattle (and suburbs) still a good place to raise a family?

0 Upvotes

My wife and I have two young kids and are looking to move to Seattle (or more likely its suburbs with a reasonable commute to downtown for work). We love the outdoors and being part of a community. We are slightly right of center politically and value diversity of thought in our community. We want our children to be raised in a safe, social community where kids play in the streets and make quality friends. We also want access to Christian schools where our children can get a traditional education.

Does Seattle still fit this? Again, more likely its suburbs.

Is there anything like the Your DeKalb Farmers Market (or Buford Farmers Market) in the greater Seattle area? I did some googling and came across Uwajima, but it doesn’t look exactly on point.

We love the cost/freshness/variety of YDFM produce in particular and hoping to identify a good spot for that. I’m not worried about finding Asian groceries as that seems to be plentiful, more about fresh produce. Any recs?

Moving / Visiting How bad is the noise around Mukilteo / Paine Field? The DoT noise map makes it seem dreadful.

6 Upvotes

I'm suggesting Mukilteo as a spot for my mom to move to. This place seems gorgeous, especially the Japanese gulch. But, she's quite sensitive to airplane noise. Other than that, this seems like the perfect place on paper. Will visit soon, but likely won't get the full day-to-day picture.

I know many posts say they've never noticed it; has anyone moved to Mukilteo from a different city and noticed a difference? Perhaps in intensity? I'm quite skeptical.

Also... any racism ? She's lovely, but she's not white. She's East Asian, and I'd hope she can make friends around the community garden! We're Canadian and I know some cities in Washington are less inclusive, but WA on the whole is quite progressive.

Other city recommendations are very welcome. Thanks for your help!!
