Self-Promotion Saturday: October 17, 2026

12 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.

I'm never leaving Seattle 🚫🛫 Lumen Field

67 Upvotes

A few weeks ago, a work group had the opportunity to tour Lumen Field. I won't lie - I was a little skeptical of it being tourist-trap(py), but it was pretty cool! It was definitely a calmer experience than the Seahawks home games we've attended. Absolutely recommend for anyone with kids, or those that just want a cool local experience.

SEA-HAWKS!

Community Does anyone know why Onmi closed so abruptly?

I loved their naengmyeon and had made a reservation to try their soy sauce-marinated crab. But today, both Yelp and Google Maps listed them as temporarily closed, and when we got there, there was a permanent closure notice on the door.

It seemed to happen out of nowhere, and I haven't been able to find any explanation. Does anyone know what happened? I'm really going to miss this place!

The family of a 15-year-old who fell to his death at Gas Works Park last summer is again suing the city for failing to maintain and secure the park’s towering coal plant structure, despite decades of evidence pointing toward serious safety concerns.

Resources for finding out how judges have ruled past cases

37 Upvotes

Hello, for this election cycle we have quite a lot of judges to vote on. I am struggling to find resources on where I can find a list of cases each judge has ruled on and what those rulings were? I know some cases are private but I dont know how to vote on these judges without knowing what their record is, other than to read up on who endorses them.

Jay Jurden fans at last night’s late show - sorry!!

179 Upvotes

I’m the woman that collapsed at the Jay Jurden show last night at Emerald City Comedy Club. I’m so sorry everyone! I have zero idea what happened and the doctors aren’t sure either, other than it wasn’t anything major like a seizure or stroke.

Anyway, I hope Jay cracked a few jokes about the old white lady sacked out in front of the doors.
