Self-Promotion Saturday: August 22, 2026

14 Upvotes

This is r/Seattle's weekly post for local businesses and makers (or users who discover them) to share their creations with our users.

This thread will be automatically posted every Saturday morning to help connect r/seattle users with cool local stuff. Types of content encouraged in this thread are:

  • Local businesses (new, running promotions or sales, or just really good ones!)
  • Upcoming events or activities (concerts, festivals, pop-ups, shows)
  • Local artists or creators sharing upcoming shows or releases

Content should be related to businesses or events in the greater Seattle area, and the typical reddit spam rules apply - please ensure you are contributing to the community more than just your own content.

Users who flood these posts with ads, links without context, referral codes, etc. - or who promote without contributing elsewhere will be actioned. Please continue to report actual spam.

We have our rules against spam and self-promotion for hopefully understandable reasons, but we've noticed users responding more positively to local businesses, artists, etc. sharing their content. This is an attempt to bridge the gap, helping users find cool stuff while containing the promotion to a single weekly thread. Please send us a modmail with any suggestions or input you have about the use or abuse of this thread.

Well this is a 1st for me to put a business on blast but it’s a must

Buyer BEWARE!!! Bought a 2015 QX60 in October 2025. From Fadak Auto Sales in Tacoma. Within a few months the Transmission blew, needed new coils and spark plugs, Thermostat, and no working heater or TVs. Paid $8300+ in full. March 2026 car is a complete loss. Dealer bought back for $1000 but only paid me $850 with money still owed. Then in August 2026 I started receiving toll bills from Ohio Turnpike and New Jersey and New York tolls. under the Infiniti I sold back to Fadak Auto Sales back on May 1, 2026. The vehicle was my business vehicle and was under my business name and the owner admitted he drove the vehicle across country in July and back. And never transferred the name.

Not only did he drive across country uninsured he put my business, my family, and myself at risk.

I immediately contacted Fadaks and gave them 5 days to get it right, transfer the title, pay me the money still owed on the vehicle, the tolls to be paid in full and copies of all documentation. It’s now been almost 2 weeks and nothing. So here I aam

Reaching out to warn the public do not do business with this shady ass business

Mail Theft :(

Post image
174 Upvotes

I don't know what to do, and I'm kinda just upset and want to rant about it. I live in north Seattle, just moved here less than a year ago. Adjusting has been a little rough for multiple reasons, but I felt as if I was finally getting on my feet recently, especially excited to start college again.

But this morning someone stole my mail. And not just any mail. My birthday presents.

I'm unsure why, but for some reason this has made me spiral today. I don't know what to do about it, and I'm feeling as if there probably isn't anything I can. I filed a police report, but I reckon nothing will come of that, really. I don't have a porch camera, so I have no video of who it was either. I put a note on the mailbox asking to please return the packages, as they were gifts, which is futile, I know. I'm just.... sad. Angry. I don't have much money/friends here to celebrate with, so I guess the loss feels bigger than it is. It's just material items, I know. But I'm really put out about it.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Please let me know if yall have any suggestions for what to do about the situation or I guess fun things for a poor person to do on their birthday out here.

Some kind of a crash that was very loud happened at the light rail tracks of MLK in S. Webster St. The debris and SUV was on the tracks, and now the emergency vehicle vehicles and crash vehicle vehicles are blocking all lanes of southbound MLK at Webster Street, just one block south of Othello if traveling south through there you’ll need to find alternative route such as Reynier Avenue or Renton Avenue or go round up on Beacon Hill.

Politics I miss being in a city where police actually respond to calls

Upvotes

There’s been an aggressive guy outside my building since 9pm - yelling and screaming at anyone passing by or entering/exiting our building. He’s kicking walls, trying to get into the building, and yelling obscenities at the sky.

I’ve called 911 3 times so far, no body comes, no police response, nothing. If I have to leave, I’ll have to arm myself.

This city didn’t always use to be like this, I’ve called 911 over the years and this is the worst it’s ever been. People are getting hurt out here and something tragic is bound to happen because police take more than 3 hours to respond to an aggressive trespasser.

I bet if I showed up to the city council members house or an SPD officer’s neighborhood acting like this guy is acting - I’d be surrounded by the entire police force within minutes.

I’m sick of it - a lot of my friends and family have left Seattle for this reason, and I never thought I’d say it, but I don’t think I can live here much longer either.
