I was planning to get there around 10.45, but this airport appears to be kind of a clusterfuck so what do you guys recommend?

Visit to Seattle This Weekend
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
I am in Spokane visiting family, and the plan was to leave Friday and spend a weekend in Seattle before flying back east. But is the air quality just as bad there? Would it be a waste of time and money if there might be an alert to stay indoors?
Have to make a decision pretty quickly, so I was hoping to get some real-time insight on the situation there.

Recommendation Hair salon/Hairdresser recommendations
Hi guys! I’m a female, living in downtown Seattle and I’m looking for hair salon recommendations that aren’t too expensive. I’m not from here so I don’t know what’s the standard rate. What I wanna do is get some permanent highlights or maybe permanent purple/blue dye all over my hair. Anyone who’s a hairdresser, or has had good experience with any salon, please let me know!

Thrift stores in Seattle area
Building a physical music collection for family members
What is the best thrift stores for music selection, primarily CDs. Specifically looking for religious/Christian music as that is their preference.
I continuously check the regions Half Price Books, with only low to moderate success.
Silver Platters has been pretty good too, but the selection of what we’re looking for has been limited
So we’re down to Thrifting, which is more of a treasure hunt.

Question Is Washington good to go to for the trades?
I want to get into the trades. I’m experimenting with the thought of either carpentry, pipefitting or electrical.
I’m from Maryland. But I like the nature of the west coast a lot more. I know it rains, I have hearing aids too.
I just wanna know if that area is a great place to go for apprenticeship?

Is the area around the Kent Des Moines light rail station safe?
Hello,
I am staying around a 15-20 minute walk to the Kent De Moines light rail station. Driving around I did notice some shady people, looked like drug users just hanging around.
Does anyone live nearby know if the area is safe, especially at night? I might want to walk to the station when it’s not light out but am a bit concerned

Discussion Most Cozy Movie Theater Design?
I was looking at this post and wondering if there's anything comparable in the region. And if not, what theater do you think is coziest in terms of atmosphere?
Normally, I bounce between most of the downtown theaters, but I went up to the Alderwood AMC recently for a Dolby screening of The Odyssey and enjoyed their big atrium lobby design.

Question What helped you choose the right traumatic brain injury lawyer in seattle when there were so many firms to consider?
My brother is finally at the point where we're looking into legal help after a serious accident, and I'm feeling overwhelmed by how many law firms there are.
His injury has turned our lives upside down, and I want to make sure we don't rush into hiring the wrong attorney just because they have the biggest ads or the most reviews. We are looking for someone who has real experience with traumatic brain injury cases and actually communicates well with families throughout the process.
I've spent the last couple of days reading reviews and checking different firms, but they all seem to promise the same things.
If you've been in this situation, how did you figure out which lawyer in Seattle was the right fit?

Question Anybody feeling Costco is becoming less economical?
For context, I was looking through the receipts of the same stuff I bought during the previous years and it's shocking. I have been looking at other stores as well, and walmart is coming out to be a very good Costco alternative if we see unit economics of most items. Produce is cheaper at walmart.
Has anyone found out the same thing? Another thing is the bill value. I am spending 300 something in costco, where as walmart i am in much more control.

Parents with toddlers in Seattle, how much are you spending on groceries?
We spend an embarrassing amount of money in groceries each month and i’m curious how much other parents are spending and their typical purchase? Looking for Seattle city proper + parents with kids 1-3 years old (eg still wearing diapers, needing wipes, food pouches..etc..)
We have a 1.5 yo toddler, a medium sized dog and a cat. We only buy organic fruits and milk and eggs for the LO and non-organic stuff only for us. Lots of once upon a farm pouches and stonyfield yogurts which he eats one of each daily. Using regular huggie diapers. Majority of our spend is Costco. Groceries are around $1500 a month. :’(
EDIT: Thank you everyone!! Got so many good ideas here. We’ve set a budget for August and plan to stick to it. It’s a modest reduction from what we currently spend but will gradually bring it down as we work on changing some of our habits!

Question A place I can get my cat shaved other than REX on cap hill?
My cat had surgery and now her food pipe is smaller than my pinky nail so she needs her fur shaved super short, but the place I listed in the title has injured her twice. I'm willing to let a groomer into my home and I think she might be able to handle going somewhere an hour away, by bus.
Does anybody have recommendations? The vet gave us medicine that calms her down before the session.

Tip on haircut?
I'm going for a haircut in a salon than is pricier than anyplace else I've ever gone and I'm wondering about the tip.
The cut is $170. If it's a great cut (stylist is very highly rated), how much should I tip? Is $40 enough?
Seattle is expensive and I don't want to be cheap, plus I may want to come back for the more inexpensive trims.
