There is a long list of wonderful ways you can pamper yourself here in Seattle. The first step is making the promise to do just that: pamper yourself. One of the popular options is to take a spa day. This is not literally 24 hours of spa time (although wouldn’t that be nice?). A spa day could be a couple of hours of relaxing massage followed with some facial and other body pampering. There are many spas around the Seattle area which offer special pricing packages especially during off peak hours.
Pampering doesn’t have to be limited to a single day, once a year. Many folks have taken up meditation as a way of relaxing and shaking off the stress of the day. You can mediate for 15 minutes or 30. The goal is to be consistent and just find that quiet time where you can shut out the rest of the world or at least shut the door to your bedroom!
A mini-makeover is another terrific way to pamper yourself. Once again you’ll want to check the local salons to see who is offering a special. Even a trip to the local make-up counter at a department store could get you a great look for a night out on the town. The ultimate pampering trip would be to take a weekend and get away but you don’t have to travel too far. There are dozens of charming bed and breakfast inns all throughout Seattle that can provide you with a great escape without getting on a plane.
To get ready to pamper yourself you might feel the need to finish up some household chores you’ve been putting off. After all, how can you relax if you still have things to do, right? The best way to get a job done like clearing out the clutter from your home is to hire Junk King Seattle. These are the Seattle based Junk Removal specialists that have taken hauling to a whole new level. This is because all the Junk King hauling teams are insured and licensed to do business in the city. They are also dedicated to keeping Seattle clean. A large percentage of what Junk King collects is taken directly to a Seattle recycling center where it is repurposed and reused. That holds true for just about anything that Junk King might be picking up from your place including mattresses, stoves, fridges, sofas and e-waste.
As soon as Junk King Seattle clears away that clutter, you’ll breathe a huge sigh of relief. That’s when the real pampering can begin.
Now is your chance to be heard. According to the latest government press release about a cleanup project: “The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) seeks public comment on an amendment to a legal agreement with the owner of the Fox Avenue Building in south Seattle near the Duwamish River, which is undergoing an environmental cleanup. The amendment to Ecology’s 2012 agreed order with Fox Avenue LLC, would make the agreement consistent with recently updated state air quality cleanup standards. The company is conducting a cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination on and around its 2.5 acre industrial property at 6900 Fox Ave. S., about a block from the Duwamish Waterway. The amendment will have no effect on the cleanup work, which is proceeding on schedule.” Aren’t you glad you can share your comments about that? Actually, any time the government takes on a project that would impact the public there is always some hearing where folks can add their two cents.
A recent fire at the Grandwood Furniture Company wiped out that business in a matter of minutes. Luckily, there was no one inside the building at the time of the three-alarm blaze. By the time the fire crews arrived on the scene, it became clear they could do nothing to salvage the building. With a growing fear of a roof collapse, all the fire fighters could manage was pouring water on the blaze. All told, 50 fire fighters and 13 engine companies were called to beat back the flames.
