A quick look at the sale records for most homes in Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland and Issaquah show that all buyers are pretty much from a single ethnicity who can easily make 200k+ bids for very old homes. Isn't this bad for the racial diversity of the cities long term?

Does anyone have experience with being misdiagnosed as a child. Mostly that I might have had ADHD and it was missed or my parents chose not to accept the diagnosis out of fear of attaching labels on me.

I have been job hunting for 4 months with no luck. Even small tier 5 companies are rejecting me without any explanation. Never seen such a bad market in 15 years. I am talking about SWE roles in Silicon Valley, not even remote roles. I have 15 yoe and 5 at Google. TC: 0
I don’t have long, so I’ll be brief. The entire economy is rigged from top to bottom, it’s a fake moneyprinting Potemkin economy. They rigged the stock and real estate markets to make Obozo and Sleepy Joe look like saviors. The moment Trump is sworn in, we will see the mother of all rug pulls. The ...Read more

Was at a party recently and a group of people all live in Bellevue. They asked where I lived and I felt so much shame and embarrassment that I lied and told them I live in Kirkland near the waterfront. They asked me what area and I didn’t know what to say. Really sad about the interaction and won’t ...Read more
