Well remember the "for sale" condos do ease pressure on rental units - so they didn't mislead you relative to prior inventory - but feel free to ask this group about neighborhoods and transit and food and so on if you finally bite the bullet. It's a lot cheaper than San Francisco, London and Manhattan, at least! Right?

“A 19-year-old University of Washington sophomore died Wednesday after slipping and falling on a sidewalk on campus, according to UW Police.”
Careful with ice? Jeez that’s unfortunate

My in-laws are flying in tomorrow afternoon from Omaha for my daughter's birthday. Just in the nick of time. Was planning on going to the store tomorrow before picking them up.
And grabbed a saucer sled today. Best sledding hill for kids in the Green Lake neighborhood is across from my house on the little hill next to the old machine gun placement at the I-5 bomb shelter (yes, that's all a real thing). Nothing crazy but definitely better than what we could find at Green Lake or Cowen Park and my 7 year old thinks it's awesome.

Hey friends. Use this week to prepare for you and your loved ones. This next weekend into Monday might get real real. Food, warmth, energy. Do what you can. Sure for lots of people this might end up being a mild inconvenience, but the poorer you are (like me,) the more dangerous it gets. Do whatever prep you can, and reach out for the rest. I am lucky enough to have enough roommates to spoon if power goes out, but not everyone is, and roommates don't spawn food.
BTW, I am down to help fellow Errants or their folks if anyone needs hands or anything else within reasonable means. I have a good 5 hours of usable time im the PM after work to help out how I can.
Please PM me if you are worried at all. If I can't do the thing, I might know someone who can.

Please for the love of all that is good in this world, shovel your sidewalks. I was the only person on my block who did it on Monday. Not even the apartment buildings down the street did. Come Tuesday they were all super slick and icy while my stretch and the portion outside my neighbor’s house (they’re good people so I often take care of their yard and other things) was bare and dry.
Also, if you see someone struggling to de-ice their car and you’ve got the gear, offer to share. I let a couple people use my ice scraper which made the start of their day much easier.

It's funny. I'm originally from Florida, and I've lived through several major hurricanes. I still remember the sound of my roof struggling to stay attached to our home against the winds of Hurricane Andrew. I've seen a tornado in the middle of another storm snap a light pole at my work's parking lot clean in half.
I guess what I'm saying is that I've grown used to periodically having to hunker down somewhere for a weather event. Looking out my window at the snow pile up, this is the loveliest weather event ever.
That being said, I ain't gonna try going down the steep hill / broken "stairs" outside of my condo until that ice clears. Total death trap.
Stay safe and warm Seattle-Era.
