Good thrift stores for women's suit sets?

Hello! I just recently moved to the area from Oregon and my job requires matching suit sets. I wanted to ask if anyone knew of any thrift stores or second hand stores that often sell suit sets? Most of my money is going to paying off student loans lol so I can't afford to buy multiple new sets.

Any recommendations for barbers in Lynnwood?

I (M25) want to freshen up with a new cut. I have a thinning top so I want to see someone who knows exactly how to salvage something like a thinning head. I can’t shave my head since my hair grows thick on the sides it’s just the top which I got from scalp psoriasis. So, do you have any suggestions for a shop that know how to handle it? Cost isn’t a problem.

Bbq chicken at Hmart

THE CHICKEN WAS RAW?!?!?
I posted awhile back about the Thai restaurant near Alderwood, this time I was craving some spicy chicken and I’ve tried bbq chicken a few years ago in Seattle but why is this one so bad and overpriced. $20 for 8 pieces + tip and it’s RAW?!?!
I kinda wanna ask for a refund honestly but Im worried they won’t. Anyone else had any experiences there?

Relocating to Lynnwood from 🇨🇭

M28 from Zurich, Switzerland 🇨🇭 thinking of moving to Lynnwood. Need local insights!

Hi everyone,

I’m a 28-year-old Swiss citizen, eligible for US citizenship, and I’m seriously considering a move to Lynnwood. I have some family in the area, which is a big pull, but I’d love to get some unbiased third-party opinions on a few things before I make any decisions.

A bit about me: I’m used to the high quality of life, efficiency, and outdoor access that Switzerland offers. I’m aware the US will be different, but I want to find a place that offers a good balance of comfort, convenience, and community.

I’m an asset manager/VP by profession & got 10+ years of experience - job wise will be something in finance in Seattle.

Here’s what I’m hoping to learn from you all:

  1. What is the general quality of life like in Lynnwood?

· Is it a good place for a young professional in his late 20s?

· What’s the dining and social scene like? I’ve heard it's more of a practical, shopping-focused suburb than a place with a vibrant nightlife or downtown . Is that accurate?

  1. Are there better areas nearby I should consider?
    I've seen a few names pop up and would love your take on how they compare to Lynnwood:

· Edmonds:
· Shoreline:
· Bothell / Woodinville:
· Mill Creek / Mukilteo:

  1. How is the commute and transit?
    The new light rail extension is a major reason I'm looking at Lynnwood. How has it been for getting into Seattle and other hubs? Is it a game-changer?
    • Do I need a car? (Here in Switzerland I don’t)

  2. Cost of Living & Housing
    I know the market is competitive. Are there specific neighborhoods that are good for a single guy in his late 20s?.

  3. Culture & Community
    I’ve read Lynnwood is quite diverse with strong Asian and Mexican influences . Is it easy to integrate and meet people, or does it feel like a place where most people keep to themselves?

Appreciate any and all honest feedback. I know every place has its pros and cons. Danke, Merci, Grazie & Thank you!

City gave us 2 weeks to deal with an inoperable truck—any ideas

My father had a stroke over the 8/8, and on the 8/14 later we received a code violation from the City of Everett regarding his 2002 Ford F-650. The truck has been sitting for about 5 years and currently doesn't run.

It's a cab-and-box configuration with a hydraulic lift, so it's more of a commercial/work truck than a typical pickup.

The city is giving us until 8/31 to either remove it, make it operable/registered, or completely cover it with an approved opaque vehicle cover.

We're trying to figure out what makes the most sense:

  • Buy a custom cover: probably the easiest solution, but these aren't cheap, and my dad may never fully recover enough to actually use the truck again.
  • Get it running and registered: potentially much more expensive, especially after sitting for 5 years, and we don't even know what condition it's in.
  • Sell it as-is: we'd rather not give it away, but finding a buyer for a non-running F-650 with a box and hydraulic lift on such short notice seems difficult.
  • Tow it somewhere else: moving it to another location in Everett doesn't seem to solve the problem if the same city code applies there.

We're dealing with a lot right now and aren't very familiar with these trucks. What would you do in this situation? Is there another option we're overlooking?

Lost Cat

We lost our 5 year old cat (white & tabby, on left side) in the Acapella neighborhood the evening of 8/15/26. His name is Deebo. He has no collar but he is chipped. He's a tall, lanky boy with a very pronounced lazy eye. He's been with us since he was a kitten. Please let us know if you see him. He's typically pretty timid. Cross posting to Everett. Thank you!

Lynnwood residents! Did you witness a car crash on April 1, 2025 in Mill Creek? If so, I need your help!

Hi, like the title states, I am looking for witnesses to a car collision that occurred on April 1st, 2025 in Mill Creek, WA. It was by the Mill Creek Town Center and involved two vehicles that had a head-on collision due to one party running a red light. I’m posting to r/Lynnwood because I know many Mill Creek residents— or those who travel through/to Mill Creek —are in this sub.

Originally, my insurance and hers found me 100% not-at-fault because I reported that she ran a red light. Now, though, I’ve gotten word that they have both changed their tune. Apparently, her insurance insists that, because she claims she entered on a yellow, not a red, that I am at fault. Our insurances have argued back-and-forth, and now determined us both partially culpable, and have allotted me 60% of the fault, and her 40% at-fault.

I don’t want to have my auto insurance rate jacked up because of her lie and unwillingness to take responsibility for her actions of running a red. I’ve tried everything regarding getting recorded info of the exact moment of collision: i.e. traffic camera footage, my auto insurance’s mobile app crash recognition time stamp to then cross reference with the WSDOT Traffic Signal Phase Logs, etc… to prove that she entered after the light turned red. But I’ve had no luck. My insurance has said again and again that they have no way to access the info I need, or that certain things have been destroyed (like the Event Data Recorder, AKA the car’s Black Box, since both of our cars were totaled and scrapped for parts by now), or that certain data was never recorded / archived / saved.

So, I’m hoping there’s a witness who can corroborate my claim that she entered on a red.

THE CRASH:
I was in the left-turn lane, with my car partially in the intersection (as is legal), heading south on Bothell-Everett Highway, ready to turn left (east) onto 153rd Street. The light flashed yellow, and I waited appropriately for northbound opposing traffic on Bothell-Everett highway to clear. Then the light turned solid yellow. A northbound car leisurely passed thru the intersection. Then everyone else heading that way (northbound) stopped, or were coming to a halt. Far away, like 6+ car lengths or more, there was a Mercedes that was going at a fast pace, but because it was so far away, I assumed — as any reasonable driver would — that she would stop since the light had already turned to a *solid* yellow for multiple seconds by that point. I had to turn left to get out of the intersection because by that point, the light was about to —or already had —turned red. And again, she wasn’t close to the intersection; she was several+ car lengths away.

I started my left turn, knowing that the light had probably already turned red by then, but kept my eyes on her to make sure she was slowing down. I realized that not only was she not slowing down, but she was speeding up, probably between 50-60 MPH even though the speed limit there is 30 MPH. I thought, “Oh, shit, she’s gonna run the red!” Because I had barely started my left turn, I knew that it would be faster to try to straighten my car out and swerve to the right to avoid her. That was the faster, safer option than trying to complete my left turn to get out of her path. However, because she was speeding so much, I couldn’t get out of her path fast enough, and we had a head-on collision. My car spun 180° before it stopped, dead.

Police came, interacted with us, and we kept apart from each other, which was easy since she stopped so far down the highway, while my car was still close to the intersection. Originally, for many months, she refused to speak to my insurance AND her insurance. I, however, was immediately completely cooperative.

Mind you, this accident was 3 days before my WEDDING, which I planned/ran myself, so I had A LOT to do, on top of working. So I was NOT happy about how much of a hassle all this was. I also was injured. Neither of us needed an ambulance at the scene, though.

I could’ve been hurt far worse than I was, but luckily, my car’s safety features and the nature of the angle of impact kept me pretty safe.

I found out recently that she claimed injury as well, so she might be lying to get my insurance to cover her medical expenses on top of avoiding her auto insurance rate from going up. I don’t know. I just know that I do not want to be found over 50% at fault and have that on my driving record, AND have my auto insurance rate jacked up because she finally talked to her insurance to lie to them to avoid taking the blame for running a red and hitting me HARD. She literally could’ve killed me.

Please let me know if you witnessed this crash and are able to state that you saw her enter after the light had turned red. If you have any information, message me directly, please.

Thank you 🙏

Home Ethernet/Network electrician or contractor recommendations?

Trying to find someone to assist dropping ethernet connections in home. Have a 10gb fiber system working through a wireless mesh atm and would like to hard-wire my access points.

Electrician would be my first choice as I have another project to add to new lights into a bedroom and add an addition light switch, but if need be I can make due hiring out another group for that. for now the ethernet is the priority. If anyone has done a project like this and has someone that did a great job it'd be much appreciated (searches online have been sparse).

Gigantic Explosion between 8:15 PM & 8:20 PM last night, heard near South Lynnwood Park/Hall Lake.

If you're the person responsible for whatever the fuck that was that exploded and woke me from a dead sleep last night, sending me into a full blown fucking panic attack, you're 🗑. I have to get up at 3:30 AM for work, and I barely got any sleep last night due to the full on activation of my PTSD. Some of your neighbors (myself included) spent their twenties getting rockets and mortars shot at them on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ridiculously loud, sudden explosions ARE NOT "fun/funny" or "cool," in fact they're just about the worst fucking trigger I (and many other combat veterans) have for panic attacks.

If this wasn't some garbage person lighting sticks of dynamite in our neighborhood and it was the result of an accident or something unintentional, then fuck me I guess. But it sure sounded like a shitload of black powder, and it was close enough to make my windows vibrate.

I don't think that expecting peace and quiet, and the ability to feel safe in my own home is asking for too much. I am aware of a couple other combat veterans who also live in this neighborhood and who would appreciate a little consideration.

End of rant.
