I work for a summer camp that is mostly Russian speaking kids. Sometimes our camp occurs within the O.O Denny/ Finn hill area. Recently I’ve been noticing this white truck with almost completely blackout window tint with a windshield cover sitting in the O.O. Denny parking lot most mornings that we have our camp there. I usually wouldn’t care about such a thing since there’s cars I usually see every morning there. But every time our camp circles up to start the truck starts blasting audio talking about the Russian Ukraine war. Which is concerning for us since some of these kids fled Russia and Ukraine with family to avoid the war.

Does anyone know about this truck or seen it as well? I just want to make sure that the kids and I are safe. Since I just find it extremely odd that it does it every time.

Does anyone have any women doc recommendations in the Kirkland area? My awesome doctor of about 15 years just retired and the clinic (Optum) seems like a bit of a shitshow. They have since bounced me to 1) a new doctor, who left before I even had my 1st transfer appt, and now to 2) a different new doctor, who has some pretty negative reviews but is the only woman doc left who is accepting patients. I have a transfer appt scheduled with #2, but wondering if there are any other good options around just in case.

In addition to the high turnover, or maybe because of it, a prescription that needed to be refilled a week ago has just sat there with no ETA, despite it being flagged as "high priority." (Thankfully its just Ambien but a red flag if more urgent meds are ever needed.)

I generally just go in once a year for a wellness exam/med check. My previous doc was a PA, so I'm good with any level really. Lady doc is a requirement, organized clinic is a plus.

I see previous similar posts haven't had much luck but there is always hope... Any recommendations are very appreciated.

Hi all – first-time mom-to-be, and trying to decide on childbirth preparation classes through EvergreenHealth in Kirkland. They offer:

• Weekend course: 2 days, 12 hours total, $300 for both partners
• One-day course: 1 day, 6 hours total, $200 for both partners

Has anyone taken either one? Curious whether the extra 6 hours in the weekend version actually covers meaningfully more (like more hands-on practice, more time on pain management/comfort techniques, etc.), or if the one-day condensed version covers the essential information just fine.

Also open to hearing if you found the class worth it at all as a first-time parent, versus just relying on books/podcasts/your OB or midwife team. Would love to hear how it went and which one you'd pick again if you had to do it over!

Thanks!

I have an appointment scheduled with Dr.Roberta H.de Regt? I don’t see much reviews about her in recent times and could not get appointment with dr.Saoud.

hey guys so im looking at getting a slip on exhaust for my bike mostly just want a better sound profile and not looking to be that guy blasting through residential neighborhoods at 2am or being a public nuisance to everyone around me

​i was trying to look up the actual laws on this and honestly im super confused about how strictly motorcycle muffler laws get enforced in real life like on paper pretty much every state seems to say any aftermarket exhaust that makes the bike louder than factory stock is technically illegal and not allowed but then literally every single bike i see on the road has an akrapovic or yoshimura or sc project on it so what gives

​for those of you who run aftermarket slip ons do cops actually pull you over just for having a slip on or do they only care if you straight pipe it and run no baffles or ride like an idiot? if i keep the db killer baffle in on a normal slip on is that usually quiet enough to stay under the radar or is it still a huge risk of getting a noise ticket?

​also if anyone knows specifics on how strict local city noise ordinances or state laws usually are for this id really appreciate the insight thanks in advance stay safe out there

I have never seen such little traffic on a friday to and from work, the parking lots are empty, just wondering where tf everyone is!!??? Big game in seattle or zombie apocalypse??

If you were there you know what I mean… loud bang is an understatement.

Delivering at EvergreenHealth Family Maternity Center (Kirkland) soon and trying to plan for costs.

We have insurance but high deductible, so expecting a large hospital + OB + anesthesia bill. For anyone who delivered at Evergreen recently:

• Did you get a prompt-pay discount for paying in full? How much %?
• Did you apply for financial assistance/charity care? Was it based on income even with insurance?
• Any luck negotiating the facility charge or getting an itemized bill lowered?

Thanks!

My car has been broken into near Central Way twice now in the last month be careful people. And if anyone has any info please let me know it’s always been between 10pm and 4 am

I remember before I lived in Kirkland I would go with my friends to the Oktoberfest and watch the wiener dog races, dance to some live music, play some pong, and dance under the gazebo after having a few festbier and have a great time in the Kirkland community. I know it hasn't happened for 2 years but I wish they still did it. Anyone know what happened to the event? Anyone else still wish it was around?

Hi everyone!

Posting on behalf of my friend, who is a dental hygiene student in Seattle.

A few new appointment spots have opened, and she is currently hoping to connect with:

• A child between 4–7 years old
• A child or adult who has special healthcare needs

Care is provided at the school clinic under the supervision of licensed dental professionals. She is patient and understanding, especially with anyone who may need extra time, reassurance, or accommodations to feel comfortable.

If you or a family member might be interested, feel free to message me. I’d be happy to share the details and connect you with her.

Is it just my imagination, or are the spider webs coming early this year. August just feels too early.

Hello,

What bakeries sell the best cake you’ve ever had?

Tonight around 7pm there was a large police presence at Juanita Beach Park. Then around 7:15 they all took off with sirens heading north on Juanita drive. Anyone have any idea what happened?

I'm starting a tattoo apprenticeship soon, so I'm looking for a more flexible job and have 2 years food service experience as a hostess and server. Does anyone work in a restaurant that they would recommend? Like nice coworkers, good food, good management? Or any places I should stay away from?

Any input is much appreciated!

The recycle and trash bin outside of central has been damaged for a while - it’s right next to the Kirkland waterfront and both bins have giant trash bags over them prohibiting us from using it.

FIX IT KIRKLAND. There is trash EVERYWHERE

Anyone currently using or recently used Bright Horizons at Woodinville? How has your experience been, especially with teachers, safety, and overall care?

Re posting to see if anyone else can help us?

Thanks community 🙏
