These have snow right now, but my favorite easy and mostly flat ones are Iron Goat (go clockwise), Monte Cristo, and the often crowded Franklin Falls. If you do Iron Goat, stop at the nearby Deception Falls for a very short hike and a scenic waterfall.

Grasshopper Pass had some amazing open views and wasn’t that steep but the “road” to it was beyond awful.

Lime Kiln is cool and probably snow free right now.

Margaret’s Way is supposed to be flat also, but I haven’t visited it yet.

Like others said, get the WTA app and/or Alltrails.

You're going to have to be a little more specific there, muchacho.

For a snarky answer: Go to Canlis.

For an actual answer, here are some of my favorites in the north Seattle area. I'm not as familiar with other parts of town food-wise.

• The Shambles: They were going to shut down, then they were exclusively making steaks, now they're adding other dishes back in? Either way, they're my favorite restaurant in Seattle I think. Great beer selection too. Get a charcuterie board and a sandwich.
• Brouwer's Cafe: Great menu all around, excellent fries (aka frites), my favorite dishes are the mussels and the lamb burger. Outstanding beer selection.
• Where Ya At Matt: Creole food truck, they're usually at Chucks Hop Shop Greenwood on Friday evenings. Notice a beer trend in my answers yet?
• Teriyaki: You can find good mom & pop teriyaki all over town and it's a Seattle staple for relatively cheap to-go food. I like spicy teriyaki myself. Just look up one in whatever area you're staying in.
• Xi'an Noodles: Really great Chinese noodles spot in the U district
• Thai Tom: Thai food in U district, cash only I think
• Pizzeria La Rocca or Carnuto: Wood fired pizzas in Phinney, can't go wrong with either

I don’t think so. Your employer could do a clawback for premiums/benefits, but since the WA PFML is a different program, I don’t think it works the same.

Man... thats friggin bonkers to me

I'm guessing you don't know about how god awful WA state unemployment fraud was/is/has become. The amount of identity fraud in this state is bonkers.

If you quit without giving the state 2 weeks notice, you will not be eligible for rehire by the state should you ever be interested in going back to work for them.

I took FMLA, returned for a few weeks (maybe 6), couldn't stand my coworkers (it had been a problem for a while, but I couldn't quit sooner due to my health issues). Had a meeting with my supervisor (she had told me a few days prior that she was taking me off of my probationary period as I had successfully completed it and there were no issues with the quality of my work), in which she asked me about any problems or concerns I had during my orientation. I told her. She then informed me that she had decided to extend my probationary period as she was concerned that I wouldn't "fit" and anyone working in my office had to be a good "fit". I told her I was done, the ageism, the offensive remarks (I had just had a bilateral mastectomy, one of my coworkers kept assuring me I could get some "big ol' falsies!"), just stuff like that. No one would follow the covid guidlelines, I was told repeatedly that "we don't mask in this office" and it didn't matter what the governor's mandates were. I was in active treatment for cancer for crying out loud! My coworkers, with the exception of a data analyst were all nurses. I'm still super angry over the whole thing. So I told my boss she would have my resignation on her desk by the time I left that day. I gave a 2 week notice. I went home and thought about it, I emailed in an resignation effective immediately, that I would be in the next morning to pick up my belongings. I applied for unemployment due to the working conditions, the lack of compliance with covid guidelines which jeopardized my health, as well as blatant ageism. I was turned down by unemployment after they contacted my supervisor, who told them that I was "unhappy" in my job. I loved that job! I didn't bother to appeal. I'm so disgusted with the state of Washington as an employer. Anyway, a short time later I received something from the HR office telling me that I was not ever eligible for rehire as a state employee. That's been a year and a half ago. I've just been living off of savings ever since. The thought of ever going back to work and being treated like that makes me sick.

Anyway, just know that if you resign without giving 2 weeks, that makes you ineligible for rehire.

Yes, though another poster said this is only true for those born before 2011.

So theoretically you can get their social by finding their place of birth and date- after you get the special 4 digits?

This used to be true, and so still is for all eligible voters, but since 2011 SSNs have been generated randomly.

https://www.ssa.gov/employer/randomization.html

The first 3 numbers are tied to specific geographic areas. The middle two are based on when you were born. The last 4 are a unique number.

Wait, really?

My guy I got some bad news

Check the trip reports on the Washington Trails Association website . You can search by trail name and date of hike. There are 5 Enchanted Valley reports from March and April of 2022. You should be OK, weather permitting.

Take five Market. we used to walk up to get BLATT sandwiches but would also get handmade ice cream sandwiches for the walk home.

Blatt is bacon, lettuce avocado Turkey & tomato.

Pets are not allowed on that trail, and it's been closed for over a year now.

I was not fortunately. I hope the victims take action though, this is completely unacceptable and I don’t trust the “cooperation” of a third party one bit

If it did erupt, would anyone notice? Maybe Yakima.

Grove of the patriarchs is beautiful. Not a hike really but there’s a bridge over to the trees then boardwalk trail. But the pics would be legendary with your kitty.

Agreed. We’re you part of it as well? Sounds like a lot were, and I don’t mind getting the ball rolling.

Didn’t divulge personal info of “Requester” though, why not just all get on the same page, what’s that auditors SSN, I pay their salary anyway, just tell me who’s asking about me.

Happy Cake 🍰!

What's even scarier is how easy it is to get someone's SSN just by knowing some details about them, they did t randomize SSNs until around 2008. So you're saying they have the last four (the only random part) and all the information necessary to get the other 7 digits? Hmmm
