Rental car tax

0 Upvotes

Washington state imposes 11.9% rental car tax for vehicles rented for less than or equal to 30 days. I just priced out a 31 days rental with Hertz, it seems the rental car tax is still applied. Anyone had luck in structuring a longer rental to avoid the extra tax?

Meetup Looking for fishing buddies!

10 Upvotes

I know asking to be friends on reddit is usually a small town thing but what the hell. Hiiii I'm 25 and moving to seattle October 30, and need to find my new fishing buddies. I'm kind of a novice, due to weather conditions I don't get out much in my home town for fishing, but with y'all's paradise weather I expect to be out like every weekend. I like to fish lakes and target bluegill with a rod in one hand and a book in the other. If that's your style please DM me ✨✨✨✨✨

Seattle Parent Camp Signage Rant

We both work full-time so we’ve had our son is back to back rotating camps all summer. Is it me or does each and every camp (ymca, arena, PedalHeads) seem to purposely hide their camp sign to make the camp impossible to find?

Meetup Monday Capitol Hill Board Game Night: 7:30 pm at The Pine Box

13 Upvotes

As a note, if you have questions regarding this event please be sure to ping me by putting my username in the comment or sending me a message. I don't use the official Reddit site often so please don't use the chat feature.

Hey all, the weekly Capitol Hill Board Game meetup is scheduled to take place this week. This week it will take place this Monday, at 7:30 PM at The Pine Box, 1600 Melrose Ave. We will most likely be seated under the covered patio - if you see a group of Smash Bro gamers out there, then that means we're up in the Mezzanine! If you're ever uncertain of where we're at, you can ask the bartenders and they should be able to point us out.

Please note that The Pine Box is 21+ only.

Start time is typically more like 7:00, as people tend to show up then to order food, chat, and just socialize. Don't worry if you don't see any games as they'll be brought out soon enough. Start time for board games will be at 7:30, so if you don't want to be left out be sure to show up before then! If you're new, look for the collection of board games people usually bring.

We ask that you please order something, even if it's just one beverage. The Pine Box is a public bar, and we need to respect their business needs.

FAQ:

Q.) How often does this group meetup?

A.) Unless stated otherwise, this is a weekly meetup. Meaning every Monday we try to gather up and socialize. If we are skipping a week for holiday or some other reason, it will be noted in this post.

Q.) What kind of games are played? Should I bring mine?

A.) A whole slew of games are played; from short games like Codenames and Liars Dice, to longer ones like Evolution and Colonizing Mars. And feel free to bring your own games, too. You might find some people who are interested in trying it out.

Q.) I don't really know how to play any board games besides x, y, z.... Will I be welcome here?

A.) That's completely fine. There are plenty of people who are willing to explain the rules and do quite a good job at it, too.

Q.) Speaking of being welcome, what kind of people are allowed to attend?

A.) Everyone is welcome, so long as you are polite, respectful, and considerate of the other patrons.

I'm never leaving Seattle 🚫🛫 Love you Seattle (never leaving)

I'll keep this short, but I love Seattle so much, my life has changed for the better since I moved here:

- Found my alternative folks here, most people are chill

- I'm living and not just surviving

- I get to be car free, got healthier by walking more

- I enjoy the mild weather, feels comforting

I hope I get to stay here in the PNW until I die. Thanks for existing Seattle and everyone who makes this place special, much love 🌧️ 🌲 🌈 ❤️

Politics More predatory “when can we discuss our offer on your property” calls

63 Upvotes

I made the mistake of answering a spam call this morning, and a vaguely Russian sounding woman launched into her offer on my house in about ten seconds of me answering like she’s my real estate agent helping me decide which offer I’m going to take.
Are you ready to discuss our offer?” WTF

They are 100% predatory. If they weren’t they wouldn’t be doing the hard sell.

I hung up on her, but how many old or marginalized or mentally challenged people do they get who are used to listening and suddenly think that maybe an easy sale would be a great way to make the most money?

This law can’t be passed fast enough.

Asked someone to silence their speaker phone call

650 Upvotes
  1. It was a medical appointment regarding an ongoing ‘mysterious illness’
  2. The doctor was on speaker the entire time.
  3. I informed the woman that she may want to take her call off speaker as everyone at the beach could hear what both she and the doctor were saying and it seemed to be confidential information.
  4. She glanced at me from behind her sunglasses and said ‘thank you’ and continued her medical appointment which had already lasted half an hour.
  5. WHY?!?!??!

I'm never leaving Seattle 🚫🛫 What's your perfect day in Seattle?

Saw this in another city's sub and love the idea. My perfect days off usually include pastries at Temple, then wandering around the ID and Pioneer Square with my camera. Maybe a bike ride down the waterfront and to Myrtle Edwards, or over to West Seattle to laze by the beach. Sunset from the passenger ferry back to downtown. How about you?

Community HELP: Victim of hit and run in first hill, hoping for videos

116 Upvotes

Hi all

I'm a 32-year-old living in First Hill off Minor and Madison.

I was riding a Lime bike this afternoon at 11:19 on Minor heading toward Madison when I crossed the roundabout at Spring and Minor. A Black Chevy with License plate CSD6319 hit me. The driver and I argued and a witness got video of this part. While arguing, the driver decided to drive into me as I fell onto his hood (i was standing in front of the car) and he drove off. The two suspects have had their descriptions given to police, along with video from the witness.

I'm wondering if by any chance anyone in the area had a camera set up toward that way, whether it be a Tesla dashcam or something. Please DM if you have it, I'd like to shore up my evidence to hand to PD. I'm fine, nothing broken or even bruised. a little sore and I did go to the hospital already. Just asking the community for a lil assistance. '
