From Redmond Transit Center to Woodinville downtown area, it takes 15 mins by car but 1h30m by bus. Even pedaling on the bike would be faster than taking transit. Why is the bus service so lacking? Red-Wood road is jammed up every afternoon so it's not like there is a lack of demand.

If you google "Lynnwood WA", this picture pops up, but it is the only picture in the slideshow without a location tag. It kind of looks like scribner lake boardwalk but I haven't seen lush trees there.

I have a device which is eligible for unlock in T-Mobile. I want to unlock it so I can use other e-Sim for overseas travel. The website says I must call the customer service. My experience is, TMobile really do not want to do the unlocking.

1. Customer service agent asks me why I want to unlock, I said I just want to unlock the phone, he tells me if I plan to switch to another carrier then he can offer me XYZ discounts, I keep saying no no no I am not interested.

• Finally the agent tells me to go to the T-Mobile store for unlocking, as they prefer not to do unlocking over the phone call due to security reasons.
• The agent suggested a store very close from my house, I said: NO I am not going there.
• The agent suggested another store which is 30 mins from my house, I said NO.
• The agent asked me what is the IMEI number for my phone, I said let me check, he suggested for me to hang up and call a different number to find out. But i managed to quickly find the IMEI number via my phone settings app and i told it to him.
• The agent said my phone is not eligible for unlocking because I don't have 1 year of service with T-Mobile.
• I said: NO I have paid over $100 in cell service, which makes my phone eligible for unlocking according to TMobile policy.
• The agent asks me: do you have receipt numbers for these payments as proof?
• I said: NO, but can't you look it up on your system??
• The agent said OK, after putting me on hold for 10 mins he said my phone is eligible for unlocking.

Finally the agent said to wait 5 days and it will be unlocked. So, we'll see.

The bright side is, at least TMobile cx picks up the phone, unlike ATT..

I have been close friends with my cousin for over 10 years. She got married to her husband and I always thought the husband was overly nice and caring, but I never saw the red flags until now. Now I am wondering how to maintain the relationship with my cousin, if I don't find the husband to be a pleasant person to spend time around?

The husband is a kind of guy who does a lot of favors for you without asking for anything in return. For example, when my cousin invites me to eat dinner at their house, the husband volunteers to cook for us. When we go for hiking, the husband packs homemade snacks and drinks for everyone to share. When we hang out together, the husband drives us around, in the heavy traffic of our city. All the special days, like Christmas and my birthday, the husband will send me greetings. Their house is very close to the airport and I stay in their house before an early morning flight and the husband will volunteer to drive me to the airport at 5am.

Earlier on, I did notice some odd behaviors from the husband, like when the husband cooked me a burger one time, he said I shouldn't eat it with ketchup because he used some special grilling technique for the burger patty, and ketchup will mask the taste, but personally I prefer ketchup so I later put a little bit on, and the husband seemed a bit upset for the rest of the meal but he hid it behind a smile (why is it such a big deal?)

Recently, my cousin and I went on a day trip to the mall in a different city, and the husband went too. My cousin and his husband went to one store and I went to another store. We were supposed to reconvene for lunch at 12pm. The husband had a restaurant in mind that he wanted to eat at. At lunchtime, I was running very late so I just texted my cousin to go to lunch without me and she seemed OK with it. It is just a minor thing, right? So I just went off and ate my own lunch and met them later. When I met up with the two, the husband was visibly upset and wouldn't even talk to me (seems like childish behavior?). Later, my cousin told me that the husband thought that I missed lunch because I didn't like him. That was certainly not the case, but now I am starting to dislike him.

It seems to be a common occurrence that the husband gets upset when even small things don't go his way. I guess the husband seems to think that he deserves to have the final say in everything, because he is so nice and polite to me and my cousin. If we hang out and either me or my cousin picks an activity to do (e.g. minigolf), the husband will just give off vibes that he doesn't actually want to be participating in the activity and he is only participating because for the sake of our happiness. Although he is enthusiastic on the outside, I can tell that he is not enjoying himself based on his body language and some small remarks that he makes.

It is annoying because the husband usually masks his displeasure with a thick layer of fake-enthusiasm and niceties. Also I don't want my relationship with my cousin to be affected by the fact that I don't get along with my cousin. So, not sure what i should do here..

I want to understand. For the stretch between Marymoor Park and Idylwood park, there is clearly high volume of pedestrians but no sidewalks. is it structurally infeasible to build a sidewalk there? or just no budget? they have made improvements like grooved lines on the shoulder, so I guess it’s not a budget problem.
