We're planning on going but our daughter woke up with a fever. I offered to stay home so my wife can go.
Mrs. Stinkles went, had a blast, I however have the worst cold/flu/leprosy ever. So I'm sympathizing with BabyMantra.

My daughter threw up all over her bed in the middle of the night but didn't bother telling us until she woke us up in the morning. That was fun.
I did. Was a great experience. Some real talented sign makers in America.

edit: anyone know of a good butcher in the city? Wanting to get some good cuts of some steaks.

Rain Shadow in Pioneer Square/Cap Hill or Don & Joe in Pike Place (my personal go-to 90% of the time)

The Shambles opening soon in Maple Leaf will be an amazing butcher shop and craft beer bar.

Microsoft joins Amazon in lawsuit over Trump's immigration ban
http://www.theverge.com/2017/1/30/14447166/microsoft-amazon-washington-trump-immigration-ban-lawsuit
Step it up, Silicon Valley

Other tech company executives, ranging from Tesla CEO Elon Musk to Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg, have spoken out against the order. Yet only Amazon, Microsoft, and Expedia all of which are based in the Seattle area in Washington are in a position to support this particular legal challenge to the immigration ban, at least until more lawsuits begin popping up around the country.

SeattleGAF isn't a physical thing. We're the epitomy of the freeze. ;-)
Speaking of freeze, had some pretty snow last night around 10pm and then freezing rain this morning. Roads were fine. Back to rain now.

FYI: The Mexican steakhouse that opened where Zayda Buddies used to be in Ballard is legit.
But is it better than La Carta de Oaxaca? Because if not, what's the point.

It's different. It's like, a steakhouse that seasons their steaks Mexican style. Like a more afforable, spicier metropolitan grill.
Carta remains my favorite place to eat in Seattle, the reason I was okay moving here a decade ago, and a large part of why I moved from Northgate to Frelard 2 years ago
I saw some snow on the ground this morning. I'm feeling traumatized.

I'dl like to keep the job I haven't even gotten yet
Thanks!
Assuming this was targeted at me, I dunno! If I do get a job offer, that'll be something to figure out. I previously visited and stayed with a friend who lives in Fremont and really, really liked that neighborhood, so maybe I'll start there.

Just say no to eastside living. ;-)

Ah, I see, so the suburbs east of Seattle. Yah, no, I currently live in the Bay Area equivalent (Silicon Valley/South Bay) of that, and made that choice to be close to work but I'd much rather be in/closer to the City proper. Definitely westside

I get the importance of the Port of Seattle, but I absolutely hate how they act like a special snowflake and hold everyone hostage.
Asadero Ballard? I wanted to eat there, but it was too crowded and the line was outside the door

That's the one, yeah. We ate our steak at the window-bar seats, which was a little awkward, but since there was a line out the door the whole time and we kind of were able to snag those seats quick because no one else wanted them, it effectively prevented me from becoming hangry and ruining date night

Dumping snow in Capitol Hill at the moment.
Nothing but light rain here in Queen Anne.
Definitely sticking here. I live on top of a pretty steep hill and a snow pastime is watching drivers stupidly try to go up or down it. It usually ends pretty badly.

UW Alert says campuses will open at 10am. Fuck. I'm NOT looking forward to the commute tomorrow morning lol
we've got like 6 or 7 inches in Issaquah. It started around 3pm and it has not stopped at all. I heard they had to close a lot of the roads into the highlands because of spinouts and abandoned cars.
gonna stay home tomorrow and avoid this nonsense. I hope everywhere else gets it too so I don't feel as guilty

I didn't dare to hope but I woke up this morning and found out all seattle public schools are closed today due to snow. At first I didn't believe it because the district's automatic alert never went out, still hasn't, but I got an email from the public affairs office confirming it. A day off for me! That really means more time to grade from home but I'll take it.

Woohoo! UW campus is closed today.
Be safe out there, dude.
I5 to SeaTac was made more treacherous by near infinite Prius taxis playing rallisport challenge and the exit ramp was a sheet of ice. Truck in front of me slid clean off into the median.
