I’m well aware we live off the coast, which moderates the temperatures great deal. But still, seems like we’ve barely got out of the 60s/70s.
From Louisiana and we’re here on vacation. Upon observation, when do you guys cut grass? It’s August and it looks like it’s about to be winter again. 😅
Just wondering.
Does the lawn ever get green?
To cut to the quick of it, I want to get out more and make new friends, and bars are basically a no-go for me.
That said, I love TTRPGs, and some of my best friends are people I met via D&D or other games similar to it. Also I like books and literature and stuff. So, naturally, I like the idea of TTRPG nights at the library as an opportunity to run one-shots, meet people, make new friends, hang out in the local book place, etc. But I'd like to know a bit more about what I am getting involved in before I give it a whirl.
So has anyone attended these TTRPG events at the library? What are they like? How are they generally organized? Anything a newcomer ought to know before strolling up?
Lyle Lovett will be at the Field Arts Hall on 10/21/2026. I wasn't lucky enough to purchase any tickets. If anyone has a change in plans and would like to sell their tickets, please DM me. Thanks.
Thank you to all that have replied, I am now good.

She seems to be an older woman, currently being arrested. The cops had to kick down her door. They were yelling about a felony and a recent previous pursuit that sounded like it may have been a car chase.

Nobody is saying that all home landscape or garden plants need to be natives, but we all need to aim for more (as many as 70%, ideally), because they're adapted to the soil and climate -- or will be, we hope -- and are far lower-maintenance.

You can see it on the Olympic Peninsula, where a community is putting its own assets to work. The Port of Port Angeles is an economic engine sitting on a deep-water harbor. It turned a shuttered mill site into a marine trades park and built out a composites campus where aerospace suppliers and boat builders can grow. Peninsula College is preparing local people for the jobs of the future and the innovation is real: The Makah Tribe’s new sawmill is turning locally abundant hemlock into advanced cross-laminated timber and homes for tribal families

Have you had your car detailed in Port Angeles? How was your experience? Did the price match the quality?
I got a gift certificate for a detailing. When I used it, scheduling was challenging. When the appointment time came, I was notified about an hour late that they were having child care issues and couldn't make it. Exactly the same on my second appointment attempt.
And I get it. Child care is a challenge. Still, it left a bitter taste for me to make my own arrangements three times, and then get mid-tier service.
Who in PA does this work?
Hi PA Reddit,
Apologies for what may sound like ridiculous questions.
1. Where/when does Highway 101 stretch out and become a three lane Highway with trucks in Port Angeles? I took the Strait Shot Bus from Kitsap in 2024, and remember that at some point it expanded past being the regular two lane Highway coming towards downtown PA (can't remember if it was three or four lanes).
2. How high up/wind-y is the stretch of Highway 101 to Naturebridge/Lake Crescent? Is it like driving around a cliff?
Trucks, lane changes and multiple lanes, and merging on and exiting are the things I've had to work on anxiety wise being a newer driver to freeways (I drive often on the regular state highways). Oppositely, small rural roads that are twisty and high up I don't have much experience with either (which looks to be the case closer to Lake Crescent).
I've only driven over the Hood Canal Bridge out to as far as Sequim, so, any advice for what to expect past that when going out to PA (Downtown and then ultimately Naturebridge in ONP) would be much appreciated.
Thank you for reading
I am considering a move to the PA area and am looking for some insight into working at the hospital. I am a nurse at a level 2 hospital in WA and work in a 24 bed ICU. Ideally, I would like to continue working in the ICU, but I am open to training in a different specialty If that’s what it takes. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Is the pay competitive?
thanks in advance!
Star is a 9 month old black lab mix, about 70 pounds, almost looks like a greyhound lab mix. Very shiny coat and floppy, oversized ears. She lives on Lower Elwha Road.
Posting on behalf of a friend & neighbor.
This morning, Pet Posse posted on Facebook that a dog called Star was “surrendered and adopted.”
Star’s owner is an older man with some memory issues, but he did not - and would not - surrender Star. He and Star have a full time caretaker.
Someone took Star from him off the street, and the called Pet Posse to report that Star was surrendered and adopted. For some reason, Pet Posse will not provide the owner or his caretaker with this persons name.
Attached are pictures of Star, along with screenshots of Pet Posse’s post (and their edit, made after fb started blowing their page up), and the post of the caretaker from when she learned that Star had been taken.
I won’t pretend to know everything, or even most things, BUT I know Star and her dad, and he would never surrender her (much less to a stranger on the street). His life is caring for her. She’s his best friend and constant companion.
It’s shameful to see a senior, who spent parts of his working years fighting fires in and around Port Angeles, taken advantage of in what should be his golden years.
His caretaker is filing a police report, and I’m going to work on getting notices to all vets from Forks to Sequim. If you know anything, or think you see Star, please contact me. I will pass the information on.
Does anywhere here hire 17 year olds other than the pool? Is anyone actualy hiring right now?
Hey all--
I'm wondering where and when (time and date) there are trivia nights in Port Angeles. Places don't really have websites anymore and when doing an internet search I get ones that have already past. I know they exist in the future! Please advise 🤓
Thank you!

We will continue to discuss positive guardianship.
This month, the meeting will be in person only. Can't hybrid hide and seek. Hope to see you there!
I live in SW Washington but I’ll be up visiting port Angeles this week! I just moved to the PNW a few months ago so crabbing is quite new to me. What are some good public (ideally free) docks or piers in the area to go crabbing? I have a big metal trap, not snares or those light folding ones so a pier or place I can drop the trap would be ideal. I’ll be staying quite near blue ribbon airport (right at the mouth of McDonald creek) so the closer to where I’m staying the better! Thank you!
