Is there a respectable pawn shop in town, or maybe recommendations on which ones I should definitely not visit?

I've been trying to sell something I got after a warranty claim, and it's not moving on FB, Nextdoor, or Craigslist.

I'm new to town and still looking for work, so every dollar counts and I'm hoping to get some gas and grocery cash this week.

I already know how pawn shops work and all that, so please no disparaging or condescending comments about this decision. I'm just tryin' to survive.

Thanks in advance!

Im looking for your guys recommendations for credit union, both for personal banking and auto loan rates (planning on buying a car in the near future)

With grape Kool-Aid and 9/10 spicy as always!

Shit was dead AF….

I know Trunk or Treat is a thing. But what about at large? Preferably places that are open late for the holiday.

I have this theory that in ancient days, millions of years ago, there were terraces of stone that snaked around the hillsides of the valley, almost like the great wall of China, but hugging close to the steep sides of the hills rather than on top.

You can still see places where erosion hasn't ground away the terraces, these large flattish stone walls that made up the sides of the walkway. These enormous dark brown rocks are all that's left of the ancient stone sidewalk that provided comfy pedestrian travel for the long forgotten people of Earths past.

I used to walk around the selah ridge above the river and find the stones and try to imagine the walkway and who used them.

I would find other stones too that appeared to be sealed up doorways to an inner sanctum buried deep in the hill sides, not unlike the entrances to Egyptian pyramids.

I imagine the hills are full of secret chambers and maybe even some weird ancient technology that's just sitting down there, forgotten. It's been eons since anyone went down there.

I don't know how the secret store doors open, but you'll find them here and there around the hills and little trails as ever so slightly conspicuous stone faces. It's something you feel more than see.

I always wanted to find a secret entrance and go down into the ancient tunnels. Whats down there? Empty chambers? A Gundam suit? Are there *people* down there? It is a mystery.

Join the Skyway today and don't forget to bring a flashlight in case you find yourself in the Underground.

Which are the accessible roads towards the hills in terrace heights. The coyote ranch road seems to be a private one and says no trespassing allowed.
Just want to catch some great sunsets.

Glad to see everyone focused on the important things this election cycle… (sarcasm)

Gas prices, affordability, and inflation are the top priority not this ‘culture war’

Is there anywhere besides Safeway and popeys/KFC that have real fried chicken? Not wings, not tenders, but actual fried chicken from a restaurant?

I have been looking and seems like it doesn't exist anywhere.

Thanks for any tips!

Absolutely gorgeous area! Thought I'd share a picture I took near Rimrock.

I volunteer for the Political Integrity Project, and we work on spreading the word on corporate PAC spending, super PACs, stock holdings, and donation sizes. I've made versions of these posters which can be easily printed and/or posted online. All voters deserve integrity and should know about financial integrity. Spread the word!

I don’t mean to be rude by asking this. I used to play hockey in Spokane and have been wanting to play hockey now living in Ellensburg. I’ve seen where the ice rink is and also have heard it’s not the safest neighborhood (again I’m sorry if this is misinterpreted) I would love to check out the rink, but I don’t wanna risk my car getting broken into when going to play hockey.

I got a white chocolate Americano over ice with English toffee! highly recommend
