35 Truths That Every Seattleite is Aware of

had a good laugh reading that!

Nice, I laughed at a few of those.

This is the first lie they tell you when you move here.

It may only be two months long but summer in Seattle is absolutely beautiful. I don't see how you could possibly disagree during August each year.

Especially compared to some cities I've been to. NYC was miserable in the summer.

Fixed. I don't consider summers that we measure in terms of minutes instead of days "beautiful" by any metric.

Free cheeseburgers at the Queen Anne Dick's on Tuesday

not worth the super long line

right? they're like a buck a pop anyway. plus, who only eats 1! free stuff is always better than unfree stuff, but that's going to be mobbed.

Only way to make it worthwhile is get in line, and start drinking. By the time you get served you might be drunk enough to enjoy them.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I don't ever go to free food giveaways like that. It's never worth it.

Hey man this year is Heat Wave 2.0™ so you'll be in luck. That's a hilarious article though.

If I were to work in the South Lake Union area, where would I want to live in Seattle?

I work in SLU and live in Ballard. The bus commute is about 25 minutes, counting the walk to the stop. It's about a 15 minute drive on the typical weekday morning. You can probably find something at the high end of your price range.

And Ballard is awesome.

the free breakfast at dennys a few years ago was pretty worth it. almost no line

 

[jb1234]

Hey man this year is Heat Wave 2.0™ so you'll be in

Nooooooooooo! No heat wave!

 

[cdyhybrid]

Hope none of you are stuck outside right now. Full-blown hail in the U District. 7th looks like an ice river.

 

[jb1234]

In Capitol Hill too. Damn, it's loud.

 

[D23]

Nothing but rain in bellevue

 

[jb1234]

And now the sun is back out. Our weather is weird.

 

[dLMN8R]

That was nucking futs.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Holy shit that hail was wild.

Nooooooooooo! No heat wave!

It's happening. Better run out and grab your fan(s) before everyone else does. #believe

 

[jb1234]

I had a fan. It didn't survive the last heat wave.

 

[distantmantra]

Dinner at Fank's Oyster House and Champagne Bar tonight. Psyched.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Nice mantra, sounds like a great night.

I'm thinking about pigging out at Red Mill tonight, personally. It's been awhile and I could use the calories considering I haven't eaten much today.

 

[distantmantra]

Power keeps going out in Greenlake. Blue skies and no wind or rain. Weird.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I think the whole U District is dead. The hail wasn't even that bad. What the hell man.

 

[AEREC]

I think the whole U District is dead. The hail wasn't even that bad. What the hell man.

Ya sucks...power didn't even go out until well after the hail.

Hopes it not too long...only got 16% battery left on my phone.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Can't do any work or play games with no power, can't go to the gym because the power is out there too... Time to start getting hammered I guess

 

[FloppyDelux]

And now the sun is back out. Our weather is weird.

i take it you havnt been here long? the weather never makes sense here.

 

[jb1234]

i take it you havnt been here long? the weather never makes sense here.

I've lived here all my life. I was being sarcastic.

 

[Stinkles]

Well, that was weird, but power is back on in Wallingford . Movie night is saved.

 

[distantmantra]

We saw No at the Guild, I guess they lost power earlier in the evening.

 

[Evlar]

Just got home from my brother's place in south Seattle. Nothing but rain on the roads down there. Holy fuck, there's still little drifts of hail on my front steps!

Missed the whole thing. Must have been a crazy storm.

 

[Seth C]

Hey Seattle! I'm coning to visit, arriving May 1 and heading home May 4. We should get beer.

 

[jb1234]

Leaving a $500 tip or two?

 

[Seth C]

Leaving a $500 tip or two?

Definitely leaving one while I'm there, yes. If anyone wants to tag along let me know!

 

[coldvein]

Hey Seattle! I'm coning to visit, arriving May 1 and heading home May 4. We should get beer.

ill most likely be down.

 

[distantmantra]

Fremont Brewing, Pine Box, Latona Pub. Yes.

 

[jb1234]

ill most likely be down.

I'm probably in as well, schedule depending (as I often work in the evening. Just need enough advance notice to shuffle things around).

 

[dubc35]

Fremont Brewing, Pine Box, Latona Pub. Yes.

Went to Latona for dinner on Saturday, first time I've been there for a while. Still awesome.

 

[luckyboyceo]

I'm also (probably) down for some drinks early May.

 

[MisterNugNug]

I'll also probably be down. I'd love to see you hand out a $500 tip live Seth.

 

[Stinkles]

I'll also probably be down. I'd love to see you hand out a $500 tip live Seth.

Speaking of ramen...

Wait, what? I must've missed this thread.

 

[jb1234]

Wait, what? I must've missed this thread.

Check it out. Seth is a GAF celebrity.

 

[Ixian]

Nothing like 7 PM hail to make me appreciate being home from work already.

 

[Drinky Crow]

dick's is foul. why would you recommend them?

 

[kassatsu]

Random thunder and lightning on the east side too

 

[MisterNugNug]

Speaking of ramen...

Lol. I don't think the shop will open in time. But there are other options on Wallingford, I mean hell Miyabi and I've heard good things about 4649.

 

[FuturusX]

Did you get banned for calling Dick's foul?

Reminds of an Almost Live skit (Seattle comedy sketch show) - the one where aliens destroy areas around Seattle, when they hit Kent it's kinda okay but Dicks...now it's on.

Can't find it on youtubes

 

[jb1234]

Did you get banned for calling Dick's foul?

MAN, I was just about to post the same thing but you beat me to it.

 

[Drinky Crow]

their burgers are pothead garbage. they're the white castle of seattle. go to red mill. fuck, go to burgermaster, even.

 

[GG-Duo]

dick's is foul. why would you recommend them?

Yeah when I visited Seattle last month I tried some Dicks (lol) and it wasn't very good. It's just greasy... Really didn't understand the hype.

I also had Five Guys (lol) a week later and that was good.

 

[Stinkles]

Lol. I don't think the shop will open in time. But there are other options on Wallingford, I mean hell Miyabi and I've heard good things about 4649.

4649’s ramen was literally embarassing. It was so bad I couldn't even say anything.
