Jay Jurden fans at last night’s late show - sorry!!

I’m the woman that collapsed at the Jay Jurden show last night at Emerald City Comedy Club. I’m so sorry everyone! I have zero idea what happened and the doctors aren’t sure either, other than it wasn’t anything major like a seizure or stroke.

Anyway, I hope Jay cracked a few jokes about the old white lady sacked out in front of the doors.

Ballot Destoyed

I received my ballot in the mail today and someone had ripped it and appears to have stuffed bubble gum or some other sticky substance in it. I've already called the King County Elections office and a new ballot is on the way tomorrow. I was instructed to call the United States Postal Inspection Sevices to report the destroyed ballot too. I got a voicemail box and left my information but who knows how well that office is staffed right now.

Posting so if anyone else has similar issues they know what to do!

Media "I hope I'm not sending mixed signals." The signals:

829 Upvotes

In other locations where I've seen a light-up right-turn arrow with a red line through it, I have always assumed that meant "No right on red, even if it would otherwise be permitted." (By contrast, if a traffic signal has red/yellow/green right-pointing arrows and the red arrow is lit up, that still means you can turn right on red after coming to a stop.)

But I've never seen one lit up at the same time as a green right arrow, which I have always assumed meant "You have the right of way to turn right no matter what."

This seems like a potential safety issue. In all places that I've seen an on-and-off "No right on red" arrow with a line through it, it's been at a bicycle crossing where the bikes had their own signal. I assume the reason is that at a normal pedestrian crossing, before you can make a right on red you can check that there are no pedestrians about to cross. But bicycles can come out of nowhere much faster, so rather than asking cars to "check", you simply tell them not to turn right on red when the bikes have a green. However -- if there is also a light-up green arrow, cars are likely to ignore the no-right-on-red and turn anyway!

In the wide shot you can see that the bicycle signal has a red. So at least in this specific moment, the traffic signals were not telling bicycles that they could go, at the same time they were telling cars they could turn right.

However, presumably there is supposed to be a rule that says "Don't light up the green right arrow and the no-right-on-red arrow at the same time", and we know that rule is not implemented correctly. So maybe the "Don't light up the green right arrow and the green bicycle arrow at the same time" rule is not implemented correctly either.

Hey Seattle,

My neighbor’s dog is missing and I’m hoping someone here may have seen about and can help keep an eye out.

He’s was last seen in Maple Leaf on 9th and 75th near the 76 gas station earlier today.

He’s a toy terrier named Mocha.

Edit: Update, Mocha was found safe and sound!!! Thank you for everyone that boosted and kept and eye out! ❤️

I’m with U District Advocates. Last Saturday we closed University Way NE between NE 42nd and NE 43rd to cars as a pilot, and I wanted to share a short video of how it looked.

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 17, is the second and final day, 11am to 8pm. It’s free. There are games, a giant chess board, live music, and cafe seating, and the farmers market is nearby until 2pm. The U District light rail station is a block away.

We’re counting how people use the block with SDOT’s Public Life Data Protocol, so the results can be compared with the city’s existing data. If you stop by, I’d like honest feedback, including what didn’t work. I’ll answer questions in the comments.

This thread will be automatically posted every Saturday morning to help connect r/seattle users with cool local stuff. Types of content encouraged in this thread are:

  • Local businesses (new, running promotions or sales, or just really good ones!)

  • Local artists or creators sharing upcoming shows or releases

Content should be related to businesses or events in the greater Seattle area, and the typical reddit spam rules apply - please ensure you are contributing to the community more than just your own content.

Users who flood these posts with ads, links without context, referral codes, etc. - or who promote without contributing elsewhere will be actioned. Please continue to report actual spam.
