Finally a solution to the gentrification of Capitol Hill.
Either the northern Seattle suburbs or the Eastside. Just be prepared in joining the rest of us for a lousy, lousy commute.
HEY! I live here, you swine!
(Although I wonder for how much longer, given how much rent keeps going up...)
Cap Hill is east of I-5, we alright according to that article.
Saw this:

It's pretty bad, but this calmed me a little bit:

Calling them does nothing you have to go out to see them in person. Trust me I've been down this road many times.

Do they even give you someone that speaks proper English? I've called plenty of time half the time I can't understand the shit they are trying to say. The other half they are trying to upsale me when I'm trying to like cancel or anything not even remotely related to upgrading.
However when I come out in person they don't try any of that bull shit.

Call and immediately get to the cancellation department (customer loyalty or some such bullshit). They will speak english and they can get you deals that regular sales can't. You don't even need to keep up the pretext that you might cancel, they don't care.
I got a deal for 2 years with every pay channel and 150mbps internet for a hundred and change. I agreed to a contract to get that, but I'm not going anywhere.
I did have to call twice because the first time the lady screwed up and didn't give me the 150mbps as quoted. They ended up throwing in the rest of the pay channels (original included HBO only) for a slightly cheaper price.
Bonus: Create sub-accounts for your friends/family. They can use those logins for the Comcast TV GO app and HBO/Showtime/etc apps (assuming you sub those).

Anyone looking for a fixer-upper in the $600K range?

That makes me feel like my house with similar square footage, a second bathrom, a larger lot, and within walking distance of that must have doubled in price since I bought it. 15 months ago.
I bet your house doesn't have really good bones, though.

So first time visiting Seattle! I'm here with a friend. Any good sights to see?
Also, are there any physical locations that I could buy KEXP merchandise like a shirt or something? Like a gift shop? One of my friends back home loves the station and I wanna bring him something when I return home.

You can find KEXP merch at most of the local record shops: Silver Platters in Sodo, Easy Street in West Seattle, a few on Capitol Hill, etc

Oh that's cool. Thanks!
Hmm, what's the best/cheapest recreational weed store around Seattle?

One I know of but haven't been to yet is hashtag in Fremont. Have had friends endorse it, and it's a cool neighborhood to wander around in anyway.

Not a pot guy, but Hashtag is a clever name. I drive by it and always think "Wow, I'm so glad it's not stereotypical stoner name."
SoraanTribal
Member
Lol I like that name as well. My friend and I might check it out, thanks.
My wife and I walked down Stone Way a couple weeks ago to check out Hashtag. It is indeed a really nice store. But what surprised us is that we passed another legal retail shop along the way that we didn't hear about earlier - I guess it just opened a couple weeks ago? It's called Oz:

That store was even more impressive than Hashtag IMO. Very friendly people, nice selection, cool layout, good sales, etc.
I guess it's now Stoned Way?

On the KEXP front, Sonic Boom in Ballard might also have stuff. I also bet you could try popping in the station itself during reasonable hours and someone there might be able to hook you up (they are in a small building off Dexter just up from Denny, walkable from the space needle if you're going to be near there).
SoraanTribal

Being able to get something directly from the station would be cool. We will be going to the space needle tomorrow I think. Might pop by and see

KEXP typically holds their shirts behind the pledge drive paywall. I don't think I've ever seen one for sale around town, but Sonic Boom and Easy Street would be good places to look.

Desteenation has official licensed ones for $30 at their store in Fremont near the rocket ship.

La Isla is awesome. Can get them delivered here via http://trycaviar.com.

Fremont brewery is awesome. I also got some puerto rican food about a week ago at La Islan and it was phenomenal. Any other places I should hit up? I'm actually considering going to La Isla tonight for happy hour.
Reuben's Brews and Holy Mountain. Them and Fremont are my ultimate Seattle beer trifecta.

Just around the corner from La Isla is Carta De Oaxaca, the best Mexican food I've ever eaten.

All of those places look so good, wish they were just a bit closer to the downtown area though so I could walk to them when I'm visiting again in two weeks
North Seattle is cool.

I've only been to the Oaxaca sister restaurant on Capitol Hill, and that one definitely failed to impress, along with making me feel straight-up scammed with their portion to price ratio.
I was also disappointed with the portion to price ratio at La Carta De Oaxaca. l thought Senor Moose was much better and they give you chips and salsa

Not getting complimentary chips & salsa at a Mexican restaurant just feels weird to me. I hate that these new contemporary places are trying to make that a thing.
El Boracho, I'm looking at you.

El Boracho makes up with it in the liquor to lime ratio.

I've done that trail so many times since moving here a year ago. It's the perfect length and such a good scenic showcase, I feel like it's a day hike I owe to anybody that comes out to visit.
Is the full loop doable today, or is the snow field right after Paradise Point impassable? Haven't done it this season yet.
Yea, totally doable.

I did Mt. Pilchuck last week with my 3 1/2 daughter on my back the whole way.
The lookout tower was clouded in, but this was a nice view below.

Don't remind me, this weekend was just ughhh. I was up at a party in Lake City over Saturday & Sunday and while it wasn't so bad as there was shade at the place and faced Lake Washington, it was still slightly unbearable.

This was through a sales contest at my boyfriend's salon, but who knows, maybe there are other public raffles!
