If anybody doesn’t know Holy Mountain, it is IMO the best craft brewery in Seattle. They make excellent traditional IPAs and sours, and they also take risks and experiment with weird shit, and most of it ends up delicious.
Their new Phinney location seems to be a little bit more family-friendly, but it still has its roots in the aesthetic of metal music and cool cryptic art.
I was hoping they would reopen with something cool like Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome or Oppenheimer. Now I guess I’ll have a reason to see Wonka maybe…
Imagine being upset about a ceremony showing some dignity to 302 people held by clergy, firemen, members of the king county medical office and some members of the public.
302 dead people shown the smallest amount of humanity and grace by a grand sum of 40 members of the city staff and public for 1 day/year, and yall pissy about the $0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000001/person it may or may not have cost to hold the ceremony.
Your namesake would have gladly whooped your ass for your shameful statement.
I simply asked questions and I get accused of being upset? you must be an absolute hoot at parties Mr. Short Trigger!
please, regale us with more tales of the fascinating insights into the inner working of your thought process. can your false dichotomy convert the unbelievers?
this may come as a surprise to you, but asking questions is how we learn. yes, imagine that. now, imagine how much someone is going to learn when they ask questions but instead get a flood of hateful responses. zero. zero is how much they’ll learn. perhaps they’ll just stop giving a rat’s ass about the issue, hmm?
perhaps you’ve heard that saying “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”? no one works for free, not in Seattle. land, regardless of it’s use, is a limited resource. so, how much did it cost us? I bet it was a lot.
If I ask a question and get a ton of heated responses, I’d at least try to take some time to consider why that might be, so I’d potentially learn something regardless of my interlocutor’s reply or my initial emotional response. It’s possible they’re just wrong, but it’s also possible that I’m wrong. And if angry replies kept me from learning anything online, I don’t think I’d learn much here at all.
Ohh, you’ve moved on from directly hateful snark directed at the homeless to playing at being incredibly stupid instead. I’d say I’m suprised, but I’m really not.
You “bet it was a lot” in terms of the city budget of Seattle, one of the largest metropolises in the United states, and to some degree the world, to bury 302 people in a single grave after the medical examiner did their legally required job? You think the city should have instead just left 302 dead bodies laying around? Y’all really going to play at being this stupid, to argue that Seattle taxpayers would be better off stepping over the dead instead of burying the deceased at a cost that was very clearly absolutely nothing in terms of our yearly budget?
You’re really going to carry on with this incredibly dumb premise that you’re just a big idiot that earnestly thinks a single grave stone and 2hr memorial was a budget busting expensive for our 4 million+ populated metro area?
This is just sad man. Playing at an idiot instead of a hateful piece of shit doesnt save you any amount of face.
Joy Hollingsworth certainly is pumping out fliers but not sure I’ve met anyone who supports her. (Though I’m in pretty liberal circles). I generally cross reference Seattle times, stranger, and progressive voters guide. Get an idea of what policies they support and discuss with a couple friends but not so many of them are interested in local politics.
Someone mentioned that when their region got supported, it rolled out same day between Google and Apple, even though Apple never explicitly mentioned it. I’d imagine it’s the same here, just apple hasn’t taken the time to post something.
The rise in vacancies across Seattle is directly linked to the rate of newly constructed apartments, according to Capital Economics, and it’s increased from 5.2% at the end of 2019 to 7% by midyear 2023. Already, Seattle’s asking rent growth rate is at -2% and could fall further.
I'd really encourage people to actually read the article too. This is a direct consequence of increased construction, and just another piece of evidence to add to the rapidly growing pile showing that adding new housing stock - of any and all kinds - does cause a reduce pressures on rent.
used to live across from that Ace around 20 years ago. drove through the neighborhood recently and it’s nothing but apartment complexes now - other than the Ace and the Snappy Dragon it felt like a different city.
I’m native, but spent some years away. Wasn’t here when Bruce Harrell was elected, and only been back a year and a half, so I’ve been hesitant to say it, but… I haven’t yet seen squat from Harrell that makes him seem mayor-worthy to me.
