We're skipping Spring this year. It remains to be seen if there will be a Summer and Fall or if we'll just go straight back to Winter.
I'm okay with this after the blistering 2015 and 2016.

you're wrong and you should feel bad.

Last year wasn't that bad, was it? I thought the two crazy hot summers were 2014 and 2015.

That wouldn't be a bad idea, honestly. Our summers are getting hotter and hotter with a week or two of consistent 90 degree heat.
Most homes and condo/apartment buildings don't have AC as we never needed it until recently.

Straight back to winter would be fantastic IMO. I don't need any hot weather ruining my enjoyment of the indoors.

So wrong. I hope you can feel it.
We earn our Summers here. Bring it.
In four months. If we're lucky.

Nothing beats 2009.
I'm going to Kauai for a week in June. Can't wait.
Easily my favorite island.
Friends in town this weekend - heading to Orcas tomorrow!
...I really just need to sleep for like three days though
Yo dude hit me up, I live in walking distance of it

Does SeattleGAF do meetups? NYC has them every two months or so.
We haven't had one in several years. I get the impression it's a combination of no one wanting to come and also no one wanting to organize.

Yeah, I just have no interest in them. Already busy enough with my family and social group.
Sorry if I'm perpetuating the freeze myth.

There'll be days in August where you pray for death.
If you have young kids, you kinda need one, but it's like a city with little snow justifying snow plows. You won't need it much but by god when you do...
I now have central AC, but we had a Sharp portable unit that was amazing. Took our upstairs bedroom (Seattle Gaf knows that 1920 craftsman furnace hell) from high 90s to 60s in less than a couple of minutes. Astonishing and easy to use - comes with an extedning window adapter so you just slide to the right length like a flat trombone, close the window on it and boom.
I would roll it (it's on casters and is mad heavy) into the shower to drain it every now and then. And it's all temporary. Soon as the weather eases off, you roll it out of sight like it was never there. I also like the wall mounted Samsung ones, but that's a bit of construction.

We've got a couple of the portable AC units from Costco that go in the bedrooms during the summer. Super helpful when everyone sleeps upstairs in a brick house.

I have a couple of little portable ACs as well. I use them maybe one week out of the year but when I use them it's because I really need them or I might die.
Yeah, that's more or less what happens with mine too.
Have you survived the freeze?

I followed up with a post to gauge interest and absolutely nobody replied/acknowledged it, so I just assumed the freeze is real and continued posting as usual.
ah no wonder. Well hopefully we can try to get a meet going if this thread is getting more active.
Lol, I'd be down for a Seattle-gaf meet up if the time and place worked out.

I'm not from around here though, so I'm not frozen. I'd be down to meet you guys.

I am, like most folks around here, generally down, but almost assuredly not actually going to make it because of kids/job/soccer-injury-randomly-the-morning-of, etc

Pretty much same for me. I'm down if i can find some fucking time in my scheudle.

I don't post here often, but I'd be down to meet up somewhere. I'm a student so I'm pretty free in the evenings.

I saw a poster for that the other day and it sounds great, but I'll be in Port Townsend for my wife's birthday all weekend.

Well I mean we broke a streak of like 2 straight weeks of sunny days.
Weather's been weird lately. I blame global warming.

Yep. I want my normal Western Washington April.
In other news, my wife was reading the Seattle Times tonight and there was an article about "Who Is Mike McGinn?"
....
He was our mayor LESS THAN FOUR YEARS AGO. Are people that forgetful?
Also not a secret building developer. Murray is AWFUL.
His solutions to homelessness have massively increased homelessness too.
distantmantra
Member
I'm not the biggest fan of Murray prioritizing developers over people, I see this every day in my neighborhood. This delusional belief that people aren't bringing cars so let's not force developers to provide parking drives me nuts. Please, park your cars all around my house new condo dwellers.
I voted for McGinn last time, probably will again.

Nikitta for me, probably, but it's early
