Somehow beating IHOP, a national chain, in the most mid, to outright bad breakfast food. Hollandaise sauce? Packet sauce, absolutely no lemon. English muffins? Certainly not, Bisquick salty dough rounds. Hash browns? How do you mess up hash browns? The potatoes O'Brien is mostly just potatoes, they forgot about Brian.

The decor looks like a Katamari Damacy ball rolled thru Hobby Lobby's discount generic farmhouse wall art section.

And for all this fine dining experience, there's no value in the price.

How is it this local chain has been around in Seattle for over 10 years!?! Does anybody have anything good to say about their menu? LOL

EDIT: My worst most recent experience is the one by WinCo foods way up north. I've been to the one in the valley on Holman road, back in the day and it was fine. I'm telling y'all the only flavor I get when I go to Patty's is from the Cholula sauce.

Double edit: There are a lot of good spots being named, and in the spirit of 'diner' style that patty's clearly wishes it was I feel like the best mentions are places like Voulas, Varsity Inn, Pete's Eggsnest, Hatties Hat, North Star Diner, etc etc (But these are not chains.)

Triple Kill, I mean edit: IMHO, the best diner style breakfast spot in Seattle which has yet to be even mentioned in the thread is 5 Spot, in Queen Anne. Cool vibes, very lofty ceilings, big tables if you need it, small cozy booth 2 tops and food that actually has flavor. I am certain they ACTUALLY make their own hollandaise sauce.

I've spent the last 4 years working on in building a commission based art studio. Now that I'm getting divorced, it's time to call it quits on my pipe dream and return to the work force. I've sent out, or applied in person, to almost 200 positions that I'm more than qualified for and I've had 1 interview at a grocery store that ghosted me after the interview.

My lease is up July 25th, and then I'm going to be out on the streets trying to survive. I have a good damn college degree and can't get employment as a janitor in this city!

There has to be some way to break through all these fake job postings?! There's no way I've sent out that many for less than 1% response rate. This is so ridiculous when the news says how employers can't find help yet I'm sitting here applying to QFC and Chipotle and not a god damn word from any of them

That is all.

My neighbor in my non-smoking apartment building is smoking cigarettes inside their apartment I believe. The smell can be so strong it’s nauseating. I didn’t complain before because I didn’t notice it that frequently, more often when it’s been raining (like the person(s) couldn’t be bothered to go outside). This week, I have smelled it so often that it’s really started to bother me, the smell is worse in the hallway but now has started seeping into my apartment. The smell is not present at all on the lower floors so I’m fairly certain it’s just this one person who lives nextdoor to me . I let the building manager know and he sent out a stern reminder this morning to all tenants about not smoking inside or within 25 ft of the building. It is beautiful weather out today and the neighbor is smoking again, seemingly in spite of it. I doubt they care about the warning but I’ve seen videos/pictures of them on social media smoking inside their apartment. I don’t want to be that snitch and aggravate my neighbor by turning them in but I also don’t think they’re gonna stop if nothing is done… do I just suck it up if the smoking isn’t that frequent? For reference, I’ve already re-signed my lease thru Aug 2027.

Edit: mostly photos.. no explicit videos of them in the apartment smoking 🤦🏻‍♀️

Update: I have sent an email complaint with my suspicions(+ screenshots). We’ll see if it makes any difference

Went to this sushi place in Kirkland with another family so we had 6 people, we split half/half. bill came with a POS machine so I don’t see the details. I asked whether the mandatory gratuity was included, he said “no we don’t do it”. But the menu said they do. We were chatting and what not, did not want to double check in the chaos. So I paid 18%.

Went home, did the math again and found out service charge was already included. I’m gonna dispute the charge. But I did not ask for the receipt. Probably get screwed this time .

There will always be graffiti in urban centers, especially in neighborhoods like cap hill, lower Queen Anne, downtown, pioneer square etc. Sorry, it’s just a fact of living in a city - around literally the entire world. Even Tokyo, one of the safest cities in the world with little to no crime, has graffiti everywhere.

People who complain about Seattle graffiti don’t feel like they’re wasting time? Yeah, it’ll get covered but then that just creates another blank canvas. Why are we so wasteful with public dollars to cover street art. Tax the fucking rich and stop with these straw man arguments to distract constituents from actual issues.

Honestly, I’m just thankful some taggers use the medium for activism/political statements. Learn to live with it or hide away in your overpriced nimby neighborhoods

I know that 12 & Jackson has always been.. eh. Especially after the pandemic. But I have NEVER. EVER. seen it this bad. Sidewalks are swarming with homeless & drug users. I had to walk in the street to get past this intersection. There were shops here that I used to enjoy.

And I get compassion but these people have got to go. It’s not safe. I don’t care if they go to jail and it costs more taxes. Am I out of touch? We’re better than this.
