Aside from street parking, Pacific Place might be your best bet. It's reasonably priced, to my recollection.

Gameworks is still open?
Yeah, I honestly thought it had shut down too but I googled it and it's still around.

There's underground parking right next door to the Gameworks and Regal.
So annoyed with FedEx; they "delivered" a package to my house but ... didn't. After being lied to repeatedly finally got someone on the phone that acknowledged the GPS tracing on the package shows it was left on a doorstep a half mile or so away. They didn't tell me this until 9:30 last night; I went to the area today after work and there's a cluster of houses on different streets that it could have been delivered to since their GPS is just guessing an address anyways; I knocked on one door and they said they didn't get it.
Their policy is apparently "Well gosh, the driver might try to go get it in the next 24 to 48 hours." I'm so confused by that; I reported it within a couple hours and they deliver until like 9 at night.. why wouldn't this be a priority? lol
Considering whoever received it could have easily brought it to me or left it outside, I seriously doubt I'll ever see it.

I dunno man, we got a package for the house around the block the other day and just dropped it on their porch the next evening when we had a moment, it might be there when you get home today

Because June in Seattle. Summer will arrive after the 4th of July.
This is closer to a normal summer. Last 2-3 years were freak accidents.

Thank goodness. I heard horror stories about the heat last year (just moved here in March). I'm quite liking this -- it's sunny enough for rooftop shenanigans on the weekends, but still cold/rainy enough to remind me one of the major reasons I moved to Seattle in the first place. Meanwhile, my old coworkers are burning up in 90F+ weather in the South Bay. I do not envy them one bit.

The heat doesn't come until August.

I can handle a couple of weeks/months of 80+ degree dry heat, coming from 95+ degree 90% humidity Florida "summers" (aka February-November). I say August can bring it on, I'm good

Any tips for someone moving from Miami to Seattle ?
I was able to get a decent place around University District.

July 5th is when it starts being sunny.

I'm going to Morocco for two weeks starting next Thursday. I hope it rains a bit while I'm gone so my garden doesn't die.
You're fucked, I'm sorry dude.
The waitlist for low-income housing is years long at this point.
You could look north, maybe... Northgate, Mountlake Terrace... maybe Lynnwood?
Long story short: you can work here, but don't expect to live here. Rich NIMBY homeowners are really pressuring the city council to stay away from true densification. (The current upzones are happening in already dense districts.) Without a seachange in voting demographics here (guess who the primary voting constituency is, by a country mile?) nothing will ever get done.

I'm a standalone homeowner and my neighborhood (Green Lake urban village area) is densifying like crazy which doesn't bother me at all. What does bother is the lack of parking for these new units and developers not offering low income units for people.

Aside from some of the crummy rain this weekend, I've been all about this weather the last few weeks and I'm totally on board with it being this way for the rest of the summer.
Just moved into a new place and have been furnishing it the last few weeks (4 trips to Ikea in 3 weeks - the worst), really glad the weather has been cooperating.

You mean like online, or in-person
Either works I guess but I'm definitely trying to get more into whatever local communities are out there for fighting games.

I would PM Shouta. Last I checked he's in the Seattle area and helps with some tournaments now and then. I'm sure he could guide you in the direction of some meetups.
I would go to more meetups but I have $3 to my name atm

Shouta would a good resource. I think he's still up in the Northgate neighborhood.
WHY IS IT STILL WINTER?
It's a bummer but reading the detail, and listening to the audio of the incident itself, she needed mental health support and didn't have it. The cops genuinely started with a soft helpful attitude and even checked to see if she had a mental health flag. I wish our paths of escalation didn't require guns, but this isn't rogue officers going off half cocked.

Quiet you. I'd rather not worry about my garden while I'm gone for two weeks.
It's also in the mid 60s and humid. So double shush.

Summer starts July 5th, June weather is working as intended, won't fix. (Actually it looks like it's going to be really nice this weekend)
I'll be back to complain about the heat in a week.

It was really humid yesterday. I was running the Rock & Roll Marathon and couldn't believe how sticky it felt going through the Arboretum at 7am.
I got back from Hawaii yesterday, so I didn't notice any so called humidity here.
Are any of you guys going to see the Rick and Morty mobile?
It's appearing in Seattle on June 30. I seem to recall it had originally been scheduled to visit an arcade on July 1, but it's been changed. There's no location listed.

It seems interesting, but I don't know about making a pilgrimage to see a van and buy junk.

Working back at Ba Bar now (both locations), yo the Seattle Storm players are TALL.
Still havn't been. Usually go to a place in the international district since it's so close
Oh man, I had no idea that the owner of Blue Moon was recently outed as a racist piece of shit.

I ordered online earlier because I had an appointment nearby and wanted to grab dinner on the way back. I had to explain to the protesters that I had no idea and had already paid. I felt like such an asshole. :/

Phoenix was hotter the past week, they hit 118 and grounded flights to and from the city because a bunch of civilian airplanes aren't actually rated to fly in temperatures above 120.

I heard about that. Yet another reason why Phoenix sucks.
