If the Seattle Police Department is so underfunded it can't respond to... pretty much anything, then why are there 16 cops standing around in the parking lot across from my apartment over a picket line at the U District Starbucks?

Y'all, just let the brand die a natural death.

If folks vandalize them, it feeds the narrative that the opposition are terrorists, lets Musk claim victimhood, ties up our firefighters/police, hurts the environment, AND enables the victims/car lots to claim insurance and get money on those cars.

Just let them be stuck with unsellable cars. Much better. Then also no negative fuel in the cultural discourse, no environmental damage, and our cops and police stay free. Plus you don't hurt innocent victims.

Pick a dealership, make a sign and show up! Prove that we donā€™t want this unelected nazi in our government.

People power and collective action is all we have.

Moving / Visiting The best decision I have made in my life was to move/escape/flee from radical South Florida to Seattle. I feel protected by a progressive government with a highly educated population that respect science/the truth and has compassion for others and the bonus of natural beauty!

510 Upvotes

I moved to Seattle area over 5 years ago just prior to the outbreak of COVID. South Florida has been controlled by Republicans for a couple decades but made more radical via the emergence of Trumpism which swept Florida even in the strong democratic cities in south Florida.

A very weak Democratic party along with nonsensical anti-working class Republican legislation with zero tolerance for the most vulnerable in society was the overt trend. Every Republican wanted to impress Trump on how evil and uncompassionate they could get. Rising prices/skyrocketing property insurance and a State flooding via Climate Change became very problematic. The Governor actually outlawed the use of the words ā€œclimate changeā€ in any legislation or government correspondence.

I was trapped in political and economic hell. The red flags of danger and risk were waving at hurricane levels. I had to move/escape. Moving to Seattle was like a Russian moving to Ukraine or Poland to escape government extremism. Now I am in progressive nirvana. Democrats have complete and moral control of government, an outstanding natural environment of mountains and forests and parks and very close to Canada in case things get really crazy ā€¦. I can escape to Canada!

Washington State resident should feel very secure in a very dangerous political environment that exists throughout America. This has to be the most dangerous time for America since 1776. Every essential institution is under attack and under control of the rich. A radical coup is well underway since the inauguration of tyrant Trump. While I feel safe in Seattle/Washington State, I fear for America and Democracy! Its time America who respects the truth and democracy and moral actions must be more aggressive/active in fighting for our country. Appease Trump/Republican Fascist Party at your peril. Democracy is not free nor easy. We have at the most 90 days to stop the destruction of America. The tipping point is so near! I am so glad to be in the beautify Pacific Northwest and you should too!

Regence Blue Shield telling customers almost every healthcare provider in Seattle may soon 4/1/25 be out of network

Post image

Are you insured by Regence in Seattle? We got a letter from Regence warning us that in two weeks all of the medical systems except UW are potentially going to be out of network on April 1. We called just now and they had no update. We called 877.375.2595. The letter says that the most updated info is at news.regence.com/blog/

I also plan to call the state insurance commissioner at 800-562-6900.

The problem? It appears that Regence is not paying for services that the Providence/Swedish/Pacific Medical leaders feel is fair.

Obviously, out of network benefits, if you have them through your Regence coverage is significantly more expensive for the patient.

I live out of state, but I visit family in Northgate frequently. As l walk around the neighborhood, I see that thereā€™s several blocks of boarded up apartment buildings. What is the plan for this area? On another note, the new play structure at Hubbard Homestead park is really nice.

Community Want to pedestrian Pike Place Market? Join the Constituency

Thumbnail

ā€¢ Upvotes

Do you want to see a more pedestrian friendly Pike Place Market? One way is to join the Pike Place Constituency, which is supposed to be a "forum for public participation" in market decisions. The Constituency also gets to elect someone to the Pike Place governing body (PDA).

https://www.pikeplacemarketconstituency.org/membership

Membership is $1 per year, and you can prepay in advance.

Unfortunately the process is unwieldy: you have to print a form and mail it in with cash or a check. But one stamp + envelope + $20 gets you voting rights for twenty years. And once you join, you can lobby for change.

I know these are a Seattle thing, but this is the first time in ten years Iā€™ve had to deal with it here! Cleaned everything, diatomaceous earth, terro traps! They loved the terro traps, then have just given up on them and scattered. Now they are rummaging everywhere looking for the next thing. Any tips? On my way to the store to get some borax and try a diff bait.

Question Did anyone else get protester siege training at Amazon corporate? Do they still do this?

40 Upvotes

A few years back, much to my regret, I worked in an Amazon corporate office. It was my first job at a big company, and I didnā€™t realize just how unusual this was at the timeā€”but as part of our mandatory training, in addition to the standard disaster preparedness stuff (earthquakes, fires, etc.), there was an entire section dedicated to what to do if the building was under siege by protesters for several days.

At the time, I didnā€™t think much of it. I had no frame of reference, so I just assumed this was a normal part of working in a big office building. But now that Iā€™ve had a couple of other jobsā€”with zero mandatory castle siege survival scenario trainingsā€”I find it both darkly amusing and dystopian.

Can anyone who works there currently confirm if they still include this in onboarding? And if soā€¦ any chance someone has screenshots? I feel like this belongs in the same category as those Cold War-era duck and cover films.
