What's wrong with Lincoln Square?
Are you talking about the mall or the theaters? Either way, I'm not sure what the problem is.
SD: an acronym for Shitty Definition.
1. Parking
2. Teenagers in the theater (this should really be 1)
3. Food situation
4. Prices
5. Sundance in U District yo
I've never had a problem at Lincoln Square. Can you elaborate on any of this?
Because I attend the theater almost exclusively when the humans are not in attendance. And there are two separate multi-level parking lots serving Lincoln Square.
I have no idea what Sundance in U District yo is, either.
Sundance theater in the U District has stadium, reserved seating, a full bar and restaurant, over 21s only and plentiful, easy parking. It is a great value.

There needs to be more theatres that let you get and take a drink into the movie (and by more I mean ideally all of them).

Mostly just such a pain in the ass getting in and out of there, and also the mall is full of rich douchebag stores and customers.

Yah -- I'm moving to the city soon and I'd love to organize one once I'm there. I'll post again to gauge interest once I'm closer to being in town

Same in Kirkland
More or less the same a few miles south.

I was in Orlando last week, this return to the cold has been just a bit jarring.
stay strong, we're almost at the completely random yet sometimes incredible spring weather, then the best weather anywhere round the world in the summer!

My sister lives in Auburn near GRCC, looks like they've got some snow right now.
Damn straight. We earn our summers.

Sweet! I'll put more stuff together once my move date is nearing.
And man, speaking of which, why does pretty much every other apartment listed in Cap Hill on Craigslist seem to be these "upscale living" places that want to charge an arm and a leg? I see some reasonable listings in nice solid buildings that aren't the "upscale luxury" bs, as honestly have like 0 desire to live in one of these "upscale living" places, yet it seems to be almost exclusively what you find on Craigslist.
Have a couple of places that seem solid on my radar, but finding a place with parking and that allows large dogs is a slight challenge. Wish I was car-free, but, alas.

We had an amazing day where it snowed for an hour, then the sun came out, then it snowed again, then the sun came out. I was confused.
You seem to know this already but don't move to Capitol HIll without a designated parking space. It'll slowly kill you.
(But yeah, I imagine the dog in particular is a big issue for this area. Most apartments here aren't especially large.)

I once went to Hawaii in October, went from sun and 85 degrees, to rain and 55 temps. Got the worst case of S.A.D. ever, and that was a long fall/winter/spring that year. Lucky for you its almost spring.

It's not that bad. I think it was mostly going for a run in mid 30 degree weather today with a mild sunburn, so my skin felt even colder.

Can confirm; it is getting cold out there. Was only out for about 10 minutes and my throat did not like it. If we get any precipitation tonight, it's definitely gonna be snow.

Yah, space is actually not TOO much of a concern, my dog is a huge couch potato despite being 50lbs, she likes her walks and the park but sleeps all the time when home. I'm fortunate that she's so easy to take care of.
On that note, I applied for and am pretty sure I will get a place I really liked around Harvard/Olive -- 1/1 a block away from the Cap Hill Link station which will make my commute a breeze (Link to U o Washington, then bus to downtown Bellevue). Pretty stoked to have all this finalized!

Thanks! Feels good to get housing out of the way.
Just looked at the lineup and I'd be incredibly down.
I don't see why not, the more the merrier, as they say.
I'm definitely planning on going.
Hello everyone. Hoping you can help me out. A friend and I are thinking of going to Seattle in a few weeks and have never been before. He was asking me if there's an equivalent of Chicago's Magnificent Mile, LA's Hollywood Boulevard, or Manhattan's fifth Avenue we could go see, and I wasn't sure. Any suggestions?
Also, he has an idea of what he'd like to do, but was wondering if anyone has some suggestions in terms of landmarks to check out and notable attractions? The space needle and Boeing are already on our list. We'd be there for roughly 4 days and want to make the most of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any recent experiences with Cascadelink's service? I was really stoked to have gigabit as an option in my building, but reading reviews it seems they have been really shoddy lately (based on Facebook and Yelp reviews). I could keep my Comcast service which has been pretty solid in the Bay Area, but would much prefer to support a local ISP.
If the problems only cropped up lately, I can't speak to it. But a few years ago when I lived in a Capitol Hill apartment at Broadway and Roy I had the service and absolutely loved it. It wasn't gigabit, but it was something like 50 megabit service at a solid $40/month including taxes and fees. Always reliable, fast, and low latency, despite the fact that it was essentially just a central fiber connection beamed from somewhere downtown to my building via satellite.

The Melting Pot doesn't really have private dining, I don't think, but tends to be pretty quiet, if you want some fondue.
Hey guys, I know a lot of you are in neighborhoods pretty far out from Wallingford/greenlake/U District, but there's a super weird, very bright yellow thing in the sky above the Wallingford area right now. I swear I've seen something like it before but I can't remember when.
Is anyone else seeing this thing? I checked the police scanner and blotter and nobody is reporting it.

Greenlake checking in. How high in the sky? I just walked outside right now and didn't see anything, but my view of the skies right over Wallingford is blocked by apartments across the street.
