Self-Promotion Saturday: October 24, 2026
This is r/Seattle's weekly post for local businesses and makers (or users who discover them) to share their creations with our users.
This thread will be automatically posted every Saturday morning to help connect r/seattle users with cool local stuff. Types of content encouraged in this thread are:
- Local businesses (new, running promotions or sales, or just really good ones!)
- Upcoming events or activities (concerts, festivals, pop-ups, shows)
- Local artists or creators sharing upcoming shows or releases
Content should be related to businesses or events in the greater Seattle area, and the typical reddit spam rules apply - please ensure you are contributing to the community more than just your own content.
Users who flood these posts with ads, links without context, referral codes, etc. - or who promote without contributing elsewhere will be actioned. Please continue to report actual spam.
We have our rules against spam and self-promotion for hopefully understandable reasons, but we've noticed users responding more positively to local businesses, artists, etc. sharing their content. This is an attempt to bridge the gap, helping users find cool stuff while containing the promotion to a single weekly thread. Please send us a modmail with any suggestions or input you have about the use or abuse of this thread.

20 years after Terry McMacken was killed crossing the Ballard Bridge, not much has changed

A small group of us in Ballard/Fremont are doing the little we can to help get this fixed. That involves cleaning up trash from the walkways to make them safer to navigate, and asking SDOT to keep working towards any solution that will make walking/biking across the bridge less actively dangerous.

Community Fall colors starting to peak at Kubota Garden, Seattle
I made three trips there this month. Each time, the maples had a little more color, reds, oranges, and golds filling in around the ponds and paths. The old twisted maple I kept returning to still isn't at full color, but the garden around it is close.

They stormed onto private property chasing a woman. They put hands on a security guard and arrested a woman they then admitted was the “wrong one.”

News [Northwest Progressive Institute] Washington voters are likely to uphold the state's million dollar earners tax next month, polling from NO on 645 and NPI suggests
New polling affirms that a majority of Washington voters are poised to reject Initiative 645, putting Brian Heywood’s repeal campaign at risk of delivering a historic victory for progressive tax reform. The latest findings echo earlier NPI research and suggest voters could uphold the million dollar earners tax despite the right wing's desperate efforts to portray it as a tax everyone would eventually pay.

I'm leaving Seattle
I moved here in 2008, and it was legitimately the best decision of my life. I met amazing people, embraced the incredible culture where I felt, for the first time in my life, I could actually fit. Strange, I know, given the notorious "Seattle Freeze". I've seen it, of course, and I know how it happens.
Yet through all of that I just found such an incredible community here to love, was loved in turn. I was lucky.
I found the love of my life, with whom I'm continuing our journey as we make our move to Norway.
It's bittersweet. I'm excited about what's to come, and I'm heartbroken about leaving this beautiful place behind.
Stay weird, stay beautiful, stay passionate.
