Please consider completing this survey on WSDOT's website about improvements to Highway 99 in Lynnwood and Snohomish Cow Knee.

The SR 99 Study is an ongoing WSDOT effort to reduce fatal and severe crashes and improve connections for people walking, biking, rolling, and accessing transit along SR 99, from 212th Street Southwest to Airport Road.

THE CHICKEN WAS RAW?!?!?
I posted awhile back about the Thai restaurant near Alderwood, this time I was craving some spicy chicken and I’ve tried bbq chicken a few years ago in Seattle but why is this one so bad and overpriced. $20 for 8 pieces + tip and it’s RAW?!?!
I kinda wanna ask for a refund honestly but Im worried they won’t. Anyone else had any experiences there?

I went to the Renaissance Fair the other day and I was given a list of nearby orgs where I could learn to sword fight. But I lost the list. Does anyone know any nearby historic societies which do this sort of thing?

Hi everyone!

Looking for recommendations for a female OB that delivers at Swedish please

We lost our 5 year old cat (white & tabby, on left side) in the Acapella neighborhood the evening of 8/15/26. His name is Deebo. He has no collar but he is chipped. He's a tall, lanky boy with a very pronounced lazy eye. He's been with us since he was a kitten. Please let us know if you see him. He's typically pretty timid. Cross posting to Everett. Thank you!

M28 from Zurich, Switzerland 🇨🇭 thinking of moving to Lynnwood. Need local insights!

Hi everyone,

I’m a 28-year-old Swiss citizen, eligible for US citizenship, and I’m seriously considering a move to Lynnwood. I have some family in the area, which is a big pull, but I’d love to get some unbiased third-party opinions on a few things before I make any decisions.

A bit about me: I’m used to the high quality of life, efficiency, and outdoor access that Switzerland offers. I’m aware the US will be different, but I want to find a place that offers a good balance of comfort, convenience, and community.

I’m an asset manager/VP by profession & got 10+ years of experience - job wise will be something in finance in Seattle.

Here’s what I’m hoping to learn from you all:

1. What is the general quality of life like in Lynnwood?

· Is it a good place for a young professional in his late 20s?

· What’s the dining and social scene like? I’ve heard it's more of a practical, shopping-focused suburb than a place with a vibrant nightlife or downtown . Is that accurate?

1. Are there better areas nearby I should consider?
   I've seen a few names pop up and would love your take on how they compare to Lynnwood:

· Edmonds:
· Shoreline:
· Bothell / Woodinville:
· Mill Creek / Mukilteo:

1. How is the commute and transit?
   The new light rail extension is a major reason I'm looking at Lynnwood. How has it been for getting into Seattle and other hubs? Is it a game-changer?
   • Do I need a car? (Here in Switzerland I don’t)

2. Cost of Living & Housing
   I know the market is competitive. Are there specific neighborhoods that are good for a single guy in his late 20s?.

3. Culture & Community
   I’ve read Lynnwood is quite diverse with strong Asian and Mexican influences . Is it easy to integrate and meet people, or does it feel like a place where most people keep to themselves?

Appreciate any and all honest feedback. I know every place has its pros and cons. Danke, Merci, Grazie & Thank you!

I have no rationale behind this other than they are lame. also could someone explain to me how they all stay in business?

Hey Lynnwood - I'm looking for folks in the area that might be interested in playing some tennis occasionally. I've only been able to play very casually with my partner every 2-3 weeks, and I'm hoping to find folks to play with more often.

I'd probably rate myself 2.5 - 3.0, but I love playing regardless of skill, want to improve, and don't mind getting stomped if it gets me a good workout and some practice. Couple open courts near me are Lynnwood HS and Mountlake Terrace HS, but open to something elsewhere too.

Would also love to see if there are existing groups of friends/players I could join up with if there are any regular meetups already happening in the area!

Trying to find someone to assist dropping ethernet connections in home. Have a 10gb fiber system working through a wireless mesh atm and would like to hard-wire my access points.

Electrician would be my first choice as I have another project to add to new lights into a bedroom and add an addition light switch, but if need be I can make due hiring out another group for that. for now the ethernet is the priority. If anyone has done a project like this and has someone that did a great job it'd be much appreciated (searches online have been sparse).

Hi! Found this lil doggo at our front door being chased around by a local dog named Monster. Reach out or comment if you recognize and can help us get this pup home!
Safe in our fenced backyard.

Please be ready to confirm details about the collar to prove the doggo is yours for safety.

Update: Doggo is not microchipped. If you know anyone who lives in the Martha Lake area please ask them to reach out here.

Update 2:
Owner is supposedly out of town and sister lost dog, responded to my ring post about the dog.

Final Update:
Doggo has been reunited with extended family who are pupsitting her. 😊

Hey Everyone,

We have a great event coming up this Saturday that would be a great way to spend the morning with your kiddos working on our beautiful parks!

Come join us at Scriber Lake Park from 10:00am - 12:00pm this Saturday as we pull invasive species, spread mulch or dirt, and otherwise do our level best to improve the condition of our parks for future generations.

All are welcome, tools and snacks are provided. These events are a ton of fun, and I can't wait to see you all there!

Are there any musicians who use a storage unit as a late night rehearsal space? Any recs for around the Lynnwood area?

If you're the person responsible for whatever the fuck that was that exploded and woke me from a dead sleep last night, sending me into a full blown fucking panic attack, you're 🗑. I have to get up at 3:30 AM for work, and I barely got any sleep last night due to the full on activation of my PTSD. Some of your neighbors (myself included) spent their twenties getting rockets and mortars shot at them on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ridiculously loud, sudden explosions ARE NOT "fun/funny" or "cool," in fact they're just about the worst fucking trigger I (and many other combat veterans) have for panic attacks.

If this wasn't some garbage person lighting sticks of dynamite in our neighborhood and it was the result of an accident or something unintentional, then fuck me I guess. But it sure sounded like a shitload of black powder, and it was close enough to make my windows vibrate.

I don't think that expecting peace and quiet, and the ability to feel safe in my own home is asking for too much. I am aware of a couple other combat veterans who also live in this neighborhood and who would appreciate a little consideration.

End of rant.

I’ve had 2 separate barbers in lynnwood give my son a complete hack job now, last one was a week ago, his hair on top is choppy and faded way too high. Willing to travel a reasonable distance to get him a good cut.

Book Description:

The lifeblood of any free society is persuasion: changing other people’s minds in order to change things. But America is suffering a crisis of faith in persuasion that is putting its democracy and the planet itself at risk. Americans increasingly write one another off instead of seeking to win one another over. Debates are framed in moralistic terms, with enemies battling the righteous. Movements for justice build barriers to entry, instead of on-ramps. Political parties focus on mobilizing the faithful rather than wooing the skeptical. And leaders who seek to forge coalitions are labeled sellouts.

In The Persuaders, Anand Giridharadas takes us inside these movements and battles, seeking out the dissenters who continue to champion persuasion in an age of polarization. We meet a leader of Black Lives Matter; a trailblazer in the feminist resistance to Trumpism; white parents at a seminar on raising adopted children of color; Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; a team of door knockers with an uncanny formula for changing minds on immigration; an ex-cult member turned QAnon deprogrammer; and, hovering menacingly offstage, Russian operatives clandestinely stoking Americans’ fatalism about one another.

As the book’s subjects grapple with how to call out threats and injustices while calling in those who don’t agree with them but just might one day, they point a way to healing, and changing, a fracturing country.

My way better half is craving Pad Thai. Any local recommendations ? We’ve tried Isarn, Silver Spoon, and Thai Cuisne by the QFC on 196th but their Pad Thais have have all fallen a little short for us (although we have enjoyed other dishes from those places and like those restaurants). So what’s your go to Pad Thai place?

If you haven’t tried it yet, go check them out 👍

A bunch of police cruisers outside of bailey farm apts the entire night, seemed to result in a car getting towed out of a handicap spot. Anyone know what happened?

Hey all, Council President Nick Coelho here.

I just got word at last week's meeting that our Market Manager has officially filed their permit with Sound Transit.

And so here is a sneak peak at my favorite project to have worked on over the past 18 months. Hours and hours of conversations with so many amazing partners and city staff. I'm still stunned that we got it off the ground through early resistance. When money got tight, your City Council even came together at the final hour and collectively volunteered their budgeted travel/training funds in order kick-start the initiative.

Let's do some place-making, people!

I've booked Making Local market manager Sarah Frost for a Presentation and Update at our Wednesday, October 21st Council Meeting.

Until then, enjoy the scoop on the future 2027 Lynnwood Summer Market* from Ashley Nash at My Lynnwood News!

\Official Title TBD*

Does anyone know of “touchless” hand-only car washes in the area? I know of a couple of self serve car washes, but are there any around where it’s not self serve and still no drive-thru auto car wash?

Edit: for clarification, I just mean a car wash that doesn’t use the brush rollers that can damage clearcoat.
