My Dear Seattle…
I am desperately trying to find a bar that will be showing the Obama acceptance speech tonight that is NOT charging a cover. I’ve already tried to get into the "party" at the Showbox Sodo but they’re full to capacity. Not even bribery can get me in. So, I turn to you knowledgeable Seattle community…where can I get my drink on AND watch a brilliant speaker?
Love-

Hi all!
I am applying for Washington Basic Health and was offered three choices in terms of health plans:
Community Health Plan
Group Health
Molina Healthcare
I have no idea what the differences/similarities are between these three. They are all the same price per month, and as far as I can tell are all standard HMO's. Any personal experiences with these plans or suggestions on which criteria I should base this decision?
Thanks

Evans pool and early lap swim
Aug. 26th, 2008 | 09:25 pm
posted by: miriena in seattle
Does anyone here have any experience with going to early morning lap swims at the Evans pool (or any pool that has this, for that matter)? I'm wondering how crowded it usually is and if anyone will really frown upon having a very obviously amateur swimmer in the lane (I assume there's such a thing as a "slow lane" there else I shouldn't even walk through the door!). I am not a bad swimmer, I can swim laps just fine, I just don't have any of the good technique (e.g. I can only swim breaststroke and keep my head above the water at all times). I'd love to go swimming there before work just for fun but I'm afraid that I will be in the way of other, better swimmers in case it gets crowded or the crowd is very sport-oriented.
Also, how chlorinated is the water? I've been in some pools where the water was like a tub of Clorox and some where it was very mild and I really prefer the latter or something close to it :-p
Could you share just your general experience swimming in that pool if anything stands out? Ugh, the pool at UW is closed for maintenance and the "replacement" pool has crappy hours as far as my work goes, I need something in its place.
Thanks!

ICGATM and didn't find anything, so as an apartment-dweller with coin operated washing machines, I thought I'd start a post about change machines in Seattle. I realize you can get rolls of quarters at banks or by asking cashiers, but where can you go after hours or if you don't want to talk to anyone?
My list so far includes:
U-District Safeway
UW Libraries
Central Library (but that one usually gives you 3 quarters and then dimes & nickles)
I'm particularly interested in places near downtown/Capitol Hill/Queen Anne, but anywhere in Seattle is helpful.

Bike shops in/around Magnolia/QA/Interbay

Where might a person find a kid-friendly bike shop in or around the Magnolia/Interbay/Queen Anne-ish areas?
By kid-friendly, I mean said bike shop should have bikes in both kid and adult sizes, and preferably be the sort of place a kid (preteen/teenager) could ride his bike to for repairs, supplies, etc.
Having a selection of used bikes would be a plus, since these damn kids insist on growing. Being the kind of establishment that would do trade-ins on bikes would be even better.

early breakfast on capitol hill?
Aug. 25th, 2008 | 09:36 pm
posted by: hermintage in seattle
Any good breakfast spots open as early as 6 AM on Capitol Hill? Preferably in the Bellevue/Olive area? I Googled, Yelped, etc., but most everything doesn't seem to be open until at least 8 AM. Honestly, even just a little bakery works.
Bonus points for something that might open at 8 AM, but with quick enough service for me to catch the 545 to Redmond around 9 AM. (No fast food.) Noah's Bagels may be our last resort on this one...
ETA: To clarify: I am looking something sort of like a cross between Essential Baking over on Madison and Julia's or the B&O (which according to a sign outside doesn't open 'til 11AM? a commenter says 7AM, but I could have mis-read the sign). While a bakery is OK, a bake case at a coffee shop is not (unless it's utterly fabulous and they create their own breakfast treats). And who really goes to IHOP for breakfast during regular breakfast hours?
Basically, my boyfriend and I are looking for some place we can sit & chill for a bit before I rush off to Microsoft in the mornings (he works from home, but we don't live together). I used to stop at the Essential and loved it, but that was when I was crazy and drove in daily. It's a little out of the way now. Walking distance is better just for the sake of convenience.

Avvanta / Blarg Internets Slow?
Aug. 25th, 2008 | 03:23 pm

I do some work for a company that uses seattle-area ISP Avvanta (formerly Blarg) for DSL.
We're supposed to be getting 8mbps downstream - but we're seeing more like 1.5mps

One possibility is of course that Avvanta itself is having problems (maybe oversold its bandwidth) - and I wanted to get a sense if other people are experiencing similar issues.
(I'm -not- accusing them of this - just trying to eliminate it as a possibility. It may be a technical issue on our end...)
Anyone else having similar issues?

at about midnight last night, i found a bowling alley that was cheap enough that i could swing it, with the bonus that it was a half hour away from their house, so we killed an hour total just driving. they played 2 games and then we went to a park with a huge play structure where they ate their lunches and then played "bigfoot". it started raining just literally as we walked to the car to take them home.
all in all it was a smashing sucess AND i got overtime! thanks again!

What is the most reputable moving company in the USA (or in Seattle)? We don't have much stuff so we're going to use "you load - we drive" service. We need to move about 4 large size boxes and 1 Queen-size mattress.

Tree killer hits Burke-Gilman trail

Someone has been assassinating trees on the Burke-Gilman Trail.
"The Seattle Parks and Recreation Department said Thursday that someone intentionally has killed seven, 70-foot-high trees along the trail at Northeast 77th Street, apparently by injecting herbicide into holes drilled around the trunks."
What.The.Fuck.

Troubles with WAMU

I work in a building with a WAMU branch in the lobby. Some just told me the branch now has a sign up proclaiming the branch is "temporarily closed." Closed around lunch time when most all banking is done?
Hunh?
Does anyone know if WAMU is finally just laying down and calling it quits?

Rich White - Republican?

So, I'd always heard that either in Seattle, or on the Eastside, or somewhere nearby someone named "Rich White" actually had the chutzhpah to run for office under the Republican party. Does anyone have a URL or anything on this guy? I can't seem to find it--this would have been in the past 15-20 years probably.

sewage and tenant rights

So my house is having sewage problems and in order to fix it we need to not use the bathroom for 2 days. My landlord just wants to bring a port-o-potty over to my house for us to use. What are my tenants rights? Should she put me up in a hotel instead? I do need to shower once a day. I don't know if it is legal for her to make me use a port-o-potty.

salon question

I DID check the archives, but couldn't find where this was addressed. The question is:
Does anyone recommend a salon that is good at coloring hair. My regular stylist is moving to Cabo, and that's too far of a drive for me. I'm looking for someone who can cut/style, and color & highlight my hair. Any suggestions?

Local Game Arcades?

So in trying to find something fun to do for my husband's birthday I was thinking of taking him to Game Works. I haven't been there in several years and from what I remember the selection wasn't the greatest plus it was pretty pricey.
Does anyone know any options either in Seattle or the east side for good video arcade places? Looking for a good assortment of more adult orientated games (like the shooter games, car racing, pinball, etc..) Would prefer somewhere that isn't a kiddie hangout and hopefully doesn't cost an arm and a leg to play for an hour or two. Good food/drinks a plus but not necessary.
Google results didn't pull up anything that looked promising.

Over the Hill

I need to find some "Over the Hill" birthday decorations. I'm going to be grabbing this on my lunch break (near Downtown/SoDo), and can't call around to find out, since the birthday boy in question is sitting in the office next to me.
Can anyone confirm a location to acquire these items. Champion? Archie McPhee's?
