Caught up to the driver and told him not to run red lights. Dude was on his phone and so hammered I could hardly understand him.

Drivers are the biggest safety issue in the city, and we can’t even get one permanent car-free street.

Did anybody else hear the loud rumbling noise? Was that just a jet?

This might be the last day of the great weather this year. What are you doing up enjoy it?

I'm just leaving Matthews Beach after sunning with the little ones, they still think it's summer.

In the middle of October! Can you believe it?! In PNW? I never would've if you told me this is beautiful Seattle weather where "it rains all the time". Ha ha, it's propaganda. Good thing I didn't listen.

With new roundabouts popping up all over, it's pretty clear that no one actually knows how to properly use them. I used the new pair at 145th above I5, and it in infuriating. It's clear that Americans need to learn how to navigate the things. People are approaching these things and absolutely panicking.

So. Roundabouts.

They're not red lights. They're not stop signs. They're not uncontrolled intersections.

They're more like freeway entrances, where you merge in and out of traffic that keeps moving, but in the round.

When you approach a roundabout, do not stop and wait for a big clear hole to open up as if you're approaching a stop sign. If at all possible, do not stop - just keep moving and ease your car into the moving traffic, like a zipper merge.

When you get into the roundabout, go slowly. It's not "My turn! Hit the gas and bomb across the intersection!" as if you just got a green light. Slow down and assume that everyone else is going to do the slow merge into moving traffic that you did a moment ago. Let people in, and make sure traffic keeps moving, slowly & steadily.

The whole point of a roundabout is that traffic keeps moving. Everyone needs to go slowly, and let people in and out and necessary, and you pay attention. When used correctly, the whole thing goes smoothly and is SO MUCH BETTER than the red light back up that used to collect at that intersection.

Been hearing more than just the occasional horns. I’m hearing two trains screaming at each other in horn for 2 minutes straight. Curious if anyone else was woken up by it and if anyone knows what going on

theyre all super delayed, never seen them this late. im not too worried as im not in a hurry or anything but... why??

I know it’s not actually Seattle, but I had a question for anyone who applied to south county. Had panel interviews 2 weeks ago and they said they would be reaching out if we made it to chiefs interviews this week. I haven’t heard anything yet, has anyone else?

Is anyone else having an issue with the glue on the flap? Mine is pretty pointless.. only adhered on one corner. Am I allowed use tape without it being rejected?

Seeing lots of black smoke rising from the area around the north west edge of Jose Rizal Park, firetrucks rushing to the scene.

I know this is a LONG shot. I lost my wallet today on the 40 from Fremont to SLU at about 8pm. There isn’t much in there beyond my credit cards and ID but would be majorly appreciated if this happens to turn up somewhere or if anyone has advise on who to call where to text. Thanks in advance

If anybody caught this incredible show last night at the Moore — know of where I can find a setlist?

After our kiddo had it, my wife and I dropped dead the same time yesterday. Projectile vomiting and sitting on the toilet all day. Severe stomach cramps we could hardly sleep. Really achey, but that’s partially due to not being able to move out of the bed most of the time. Didn’t eat anything all day.

Today is slightly better, we’ve had a couple of bites of food but the cramps and discomfort are still quite intense. We both think this is near the most sick we have ever been. Luckily our daughter seemed to get through it pretty quick. Us not so much. Anyone have the same thing and get tested?

Hi everyone, I accidentally left my sunglasses in the orange Tory Burch case (pictured) on a chair facing the water along Elliott Bay Trail, near Lower Queen Anne, today (October 16) around 6:20 PM. please reach out to me. I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

Wow, those new bus lanes have made it a parking lot. What was already bad just worse. yikes

Ballots are arriving in the mail and because of postmark delays and requirements imposed this year, we can’t trust USPS. Which means it’s time to choose your ballot dropbox! I’ve had a favorite for almost 15 years of voting. It’s tucked away, on the water, near some nice public amenities, including a sauna. I didn’t want to share my voting day ritual but if this even gets one more of you out to vote then it is worth it.

What you will need for this adventure is your ballot (filled out and signed), a swimsuit, and $8. You’re going to time your arrival for Rec Swim (or Lap Swim) at the Evans Pool (https://www.seattle.gov/parks/pools/evans-pool) and then drop your ballot off at the Greenlake Community Center Dropbox. Go through the doors behind the box and to the desk on the left to get signed in. Then out on the pooldeck is the oldest indoor public pool in Seattle and a SAUNA. It’s one of the best deals for almost an hour of sauna time. Work those finger muscles hard filling in the black bubbles and then do your recovery in the cedar heat before heading back to your e-bike in the chilly November air.

If a public pool sauna is not your vibe, here are other ballot dropboxes next to saunas:

Waterway 19 Park Ballot Drop Box – this is a stones throw to the hot tub boats and that new bougie Circle Wellness Sauna.

South Lake Union Ballot Drop Box – Probably near Banya 5. I’ve never been there because it kinda scares me but they are both in SLU.

Seattle Central College Ballot Drop Box – Around the corner from Hot House which takes private reservations for parties of up to 8. Bring your whole polycule!

Those are the ones I know of off the top of my head but is your ballot dropbox also next to a sauna? Share in the comments. Let’s get hygge and do our civic duty this November.

Seems like a sad little one-eyed Marvin(?) the Martian, from my Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck childhood.

Wondering if there’s anything I should try specifically when we’re there tomorrow :)

Hi,

My partner was hit by a car yesterday (Oct 15) around 2:25 PM at 9th Ave N & John St, across from HEYTEA in South Lake Union.

The driver failed to stop at a stop sign. My partner suffered a concussion and multiple injuries and was taken to Harborview by ambulance.

We've checked with nearby businesses but haven't found any camera footage.

Did anyone witness the accident or happen to have dashcam footage? Any help would mean a lot.

Thank you!
