I could not be happier myself. I love living up here, I enjoy the weather a lot more than Tennessee's humidity. Though I cannot really say too much as I'm a pretty recent arrival.
Been a pretty decent summer so far, can't complain. It's been warm but haven't had to use the AC yet and so far no threat of widespread wildfires. [fingers crossed]
That sounds about right lol. Life is great as can be in COVID. Taking pupper to marymoor on the east side and gas works a lot. Marymoor is basically dog heaven lol
Your dog is adorable! Give them a good pet for me if you can.That sounds about right lol. Life is great as can be in COVID. Taking pupper to marymoor on the east side and gas works a lot. Marymoor is basically dog heaven lol
People in Green Lake are finally wearing masks. All it took was a statewide mandate to do so.
And once again, super glad to have my patio where I can enjoy being outside but not around stupid people.

At least over here (As in Western Washington) we've had decent rainfall as recent as last week before the 4th of July weekend, so we should be good, it's been a mild Summer over all. Not sure about the rest of Washington State though.
One of my best friends is from Entiat (ie Central WA wildfire epicenter) and he still has family over there. They've been getting a reprieve of rain once or twice a week which has really helped.
Very grateful we haven't had to bust out the AC units in the bedrooms. Our brick house has been a full on oven in prior Seattle summers.
My last place was a loft in The International District in a brick building. The really bad Summer in 2015 I'd wake up in a puddle of my own sweat before 8:00 AM every day for months.
2010 was so bad. That stretch of 90+ days in August was brutal. Our cat would seek out the hottest room in the house and I thought it was going to kill her. I eventually took a frozen washcloth and formed it around her abdomen.
There's a baby crow outside my window with the nice weather I have been watching his mother feed him.
Every time I watch a crow it ends up taking a shit and then I regret watching it.
We have baby crows (so many baby birbs coming to our porch >3<) and they are so fucking cute. They don't even know how to climb around trees yet and it's cute watching them follow the parents.
I have a similar issue with wild birbs except it always ends in them fucking another bird.
This is the bird I have been watching the most lately. His name is millet and he injured his leg and had to be quarantined so he would not hurt himself.
Awww Millet is a cutie. Hope he gets better. :<

Oh much better now, luckily nothing broken. He's out of quarantine and back with poppy. I'm just glad I was able to work from home at the time to keep an ey on him.
that's good c: Poppy and Millet are cute names by the way.
Thank you, they are named after their favorite thing. Seed.
of course. XD
I want birbs again. I haven't had them since college. ;w; But I want to name my next birb Sparks Nebirba <3
I would like to get a Senegal parrot myself, or a conure. Also that is a good name for a birb.
Thanks :D If i have two birbs I'm going to name the other Croach the Birb too (they have to be blue tho).
Unsurprising, but sad nonetheless, a bunch of places have permanently closed that I used to go to.

At least 20 more Seattle-area restaurants have permanently closed during the COVID-19 crisis
Two Tom Douglas places are just the beginning of a long list of restaurants that've closed forever during the pandemic ... so far.

Bedlam Coffee, my favorite cafe in Belltown, suddenly closed a few weeks ago. Someone told me they're moving to a new location, but I haven't been able to find any info to confirm that.Unsurprising, but sad nonetheless, a bunch of places have permanently closed that I used to go to.

Peets closed before the Pandemic.
Toronado is a sad story. I live nearby and would go in all the time for a post run beer. The food was really good too. Matt Bonney, the owner (used to manage Brouwers), died in early 2019 and the place was just never the same. The writing has been on the wall for a while and they closed up the same week the lockdown began.
Oh really? My wife grew up in SoCal so she loves Peets and would always go there. I guess she didn't notice until the pandemic and thought that was it. I think it was the only dedicated Peets in WA.
I haven't been to Toronado in a long time. I used to go there for lunch but then they started opening later (3 I think). I didn't realize the owner died. I wonder if The Westy will follow. I liked taking the kids there to play skee ball and pinball.
Yeah, he had a heart attack. There was a big wake for him at Toronado the weekend that it happened. I went a couple times after he passed away but it never felt the same. Taplists got worse, etc.
The Westy seems to be doing just, though. It can never replace Pies and Pints, but we enjoy going there and my daughter loves the skeeball.
I grew up in southern california, and feel like I never heard of Peets until i moved up here, but I went to their website to see locations and there are like 4 or 5 of them in the immediate area I grew up in, so I guess I just don't pay attention to the world around me
It's sad to read about the closings. Hopefully, my favorite spots are still open when I'm back home in the states to visit this holiday or next spring (c19 wiling). Hate to see people lose jobs and the city losing a lot of character and quality.
edit: i love reading this thread. I'm not there but it keep me feeling attached to "home".

Kent announced online only school for the fall, guessing the rest of the Seattle metro region will do the same soon.
Well I finally put the AC in. Pandemic already put a bummer on the summer, I'm just ready for fall gloom to return
I was actually at the store the other day debating about getting an AC unit to put into the bedroom. Our sleep has been terrible with how hot the bedroom has been getting.
I'm so glad I'm not still in the townhome I lived in for awhile. My computer/office had been set up in the 3rd floor. I remember when I was playing Sleeping Dogs, at NIGHT, during a heatwave, my PC kept overheating and turning off. Not sure I would have even been able to WFH.
I just ordered one of those portable air conditioners from Amazon today. I was trying to tough it out, but I can't keep working like this.
Went for a four mile run early this morning, then decided to change the oil in the car and vacuum it out in the heat. That was fun.
Hooray for an AC unit on the main floor and in our bedrooms upstairs.
Hey there neighbor. Welcome to the hood.

I've been in Green Lake since 2007, crazy to see all the growth and change since we bought our house. Light rail hadn't been announced yet and now we're about a year away.
