A list of puns related to "Seattle Tacoma Shipbuilding"
I work 40 miles away from home and tried to go in yesterday, but my car kept sliding at every intersection and stop sign. I didn't feel safe driving more than 2 miles and there's no flat exit out of Tacoma for the most part. I don't have any snow driving experience and no snow tires (can't afford them).
However my job told us we're expected to be in today no matter what since staffing is already low due to the holidays and a lot of us missed work yesterday. I'm really nervous about the conditions of the road but I also can't afford to lose my job.
Would it be worth it to drive that distance without snow tires? I'm not sure how icy it is right now on the main roads.
Currently in the market for a starter home. I can't afford Seattle single family homes-- which means I have to look elsewhere... or stay in the city and live in a condo.
I work in Seattle and realize the commute may take me an hour-ish during rush hour if I buy in Tacoma. But that also means I get to have a front/back yard.
Folks of Seattle-- what would you rather have?
Edit: So consensus say the commute is the worst part about choosing Tacoma. Just for clarification, I'll be in a "hybrid" schedule... meaning I will probably go in the office 2 or 3 (maximum) times a week and the rest will be WFH. Also, some of you have a clear dislike for Tacoma as a city.... why?
Edit: thank you for the overwhelming response and feedback!! Iβm sure many people are in a similar situation as I am. Lots of very useful anecdotes here from many people. Thank you all.
Hey itβs the rambly guy and Iβm expecting lots of heat for this but I canβt help but be just absolutely floored by the irony of what this phrase represents. Hereβs the main crux of the βmovementβ:
ββ¦More significant, at least 20% of neighborhoods will be rezoned to allow for βMid-scaleβ development. This would mean 3 and 4 story apartment buildings could be built right next to small, modest homes anywhere in a neighborhood zoned Mid-scale. If enacted, Mid-scale Zoning could transform the affected communities. Larger buildings will shade out yards and homes and eliminate privacy. Neighborhoods will become noisier and more congested. There will be loss of open space and tree canopy. Apartment buildings will gradually replace the existing homes.β (taken from the website)
One thing that really rubs me the wrong way is the sheer amount of fearmongering, they espouse so many complaints about βparking, activity, crime, noise, the atmosphere, gEnTrIfiCaTiOn, etc.β yet it sounds next to completely baseless almost completely due to the fact that these proposals are based on Transit Corridors, aka the whole point is walkability and proximity to large arterial streets like 6th or 19th, not some home on N 23rd and Alder or whatever. The whole point is to promote activity for local businesses due to foot traffic on already important streets. Also gentrification is mainly a result of not enough lower income housing options for those in lower classes which tends to disproportionately include POC and limiting the amount of housing available only serves to worsen the issue.
Another thing that rubs very wrong with me is the almost purposeful lack of info and transparency because the concerns Iβve heard and read address the problem of βlarge 6 story apartments are going to go up near my quiet home and will soon come to yours! how are we allowing this! Our neighborhood will be never the same again!β When in reality, these Multi Family homes are only going up, as stated before, on arterial streets and neighborhoods that have already pre established density such as 6th Ave, N Pacific, Lincoln and (sorry) Proctor and a few more. Thing about these areas is that they never would be the jewels of Tacoma if they were developed the way this organization advocates, delaying and denying density in either housing (small scale apartments and close together homes) or businesses (physical density and lack of parking that promotes walking).

Hello Again. Here is a link to to this monthβs Grit City Radio Playlist. Hope it brightens up your New Year. All bands play in Tacoma and/or Seattle on a regular basis. If you are in a band that would like to be added to the playlist you can submit here. If you know a band we should reach out to let us know in the comments below.
Iβm a UW Seattle student but Iβm taking class online from home. I live near UW-T and I would love to go study at a library and see the Tacoma campus. Also are there multiple libraries on the Tacoma campus? Which ones are the best?
My partner is looking to upgrade her wardrobe and we're trying to locate clothing stores where the articles are made within Washington state or at least within the US.
We're really trying to be ethics/environment conscious while clothing shopping so it's ideally second hand stuff or domestically crafted. We want support local folks who are trying to run a business where we can. Second hand stores are pretty easy to find, but locating shops that focus on their own house made stuff has proven difficult.
Etsy used to be good for this, but it seems like it has really been overrun with dubious clothing shops these days.
Any recommendations for locally crafted clothing between Seattle and Tacoma are much appreciated!
Hi everyone! This is my first post here. π
I am currently working in a Canadian public library as a circulation services assistant (though we are moving towards public service model). I am thinking about moving to Washington to be with a partner, but wondering what the public library job market is like. I am applying to an online MLIS just because I've heard in the past that the MLIS is important to work in the US, and our Canadian info tech diploma certificates don't really mean anything there. And yes, I am Canadian. Any thoughts? Is this viable? Are assistant position wages livable? Is the MLIS worth it, assuming I get in?
Thank you so much all!
Just a helpful and supportive playlist for bands (mine included) that are lesser known but play in Tacoma and Seattle regularly. If you like a specific song be sure to green heart that bad boyβ¦this does help our Spotify numbersβ¦which increases the likelihood of the Spotify Algorithm βrecommendingβ that band to others.
If you know or are in a band that should be on this playlist just DM me or Comment below.
Around here people congratulate each other for being child free. It might be because the majority of the population has a very progressive and open minded outlook on the world. There's not a lot of religious beliefs that influence the communities. However there are kids here there are families here and there are religious communities here but on such a smaller scale than the rest of the country. I highly recommend being child free in the Pacific Northwest.
Looking for either Syngonanthus giant or largo grande ππΌππΌ
So, the title says most of it.
I'm actually over in Kitsap, so Tacoma would be easier, but making the trip into Seattle is practical for a once or twice thing.
But the only Steelcase dealer in the area isn't letting people try chairs during the pandemic, and I'm at a bit of a loss where else to try before I buy.
I'm mostly interested in the Steelcase Gesture, but I'm definitely interested in trying others chairs by other brands if there's a place or two in the area to try them out.
Looking for a girl to go out with my fiance and I tonight. We'll treat you to dinner and drinks and see where it goes from there. It's almost the end of the week, let's have a good time. I am: adorable, Asian, curvy with a booty. He is: handsome, white, cute and nerdy. π
Current Minneapolis resident and this is a stereotype here too - that a Minnesotan will happily give you directions but never invite you over for dinner.
Maybe itβs like that everywhere?
Whatβs your take on making friends in Tacoma area especially as someone in late 30s.
Edit: I am not suggesting people need to literally invite someone over for dinner as we are still full swing in pandemic, it is just an example.
I was lucky enough to get to both the Tacoma and Seattle shows last week. Want to share some thoughts about the shows as well as the band in general.
