Self-Promotion Saturday: October 17, 2026

19 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.

Community Looking for witch to curse my ex-husband’s favorite thing.

1.8k Upvotes

My divorce is getting finalized, and as a part of the settlement he wants this ugly American flag back. I took it from him when we separated because it was his favorite thing and I had been hanging it in my house as a trophy since.

This guy was abusive to me and I’d like him to suffer.

I will pay handsomely(?) to any witch who will curse the item for me before I have to provide it back to him.

I’m unsure on the market rate for curses but I am happy to negotiate between the 50-100 range for this service for an experienced witch to perform.

Rant Thank you to the guy that stepped in while I was being harassed outside SLU Whole Foods tonight

• Upvotes

Wanted to give a shout out to the guy that came up to me a little bit ago after a homeless man screamed at me and shoved me with my little dog. I was sitting there kind of in shock, especially that no one was even making eye contact. Even the security guards watched and walked away. You told me that while he’d left, he was waiting around the corner, and that I should leave/get somewhere safe. I was kind of panicked in the moment but appreciate you helping me- I’m safe at home now! Ironically that was the first time I’d left the house since starting my new anxiety meds.. thank you for your kindness in a sea of “bystander effect”

Edit; before everyone comes for me😭 born and raised in Seattle, have family that has been homeless/not hating on that group at all

Rules:

Please read the full rules wiki here.

1. Be Good - No hate, bigotry, or harassment

We do not allow personal attacks or abusive / hateful language towards users.

No slurs, abusive, toxic, or discriminatory content, including hate speech, racism, sexism, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, or xenophobic content. This also covers doxxing, trolling, harassing or intimidating users, brigading subreddits, witch-hunts, non-consensual images/videos, and suggestions of violence. This is not an exhaustive list.

Flagrant violations will result in immediate and sometimes permanent bans.

2. Keep posts Seattle-related

Posts must be relevant to the city of Seattle or the greater metro area (King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Kitsap counties).

International or national news without a specific or relevant local slant does not suffice.

3. Limit reposts and repetitive topics

Reposts of articles will be removed. Posts of different articles covering the same topic may also be removed if the new articles do not contain significant deviation in reporting or new information.

Posts about topics that have been previously resolved or discussed ad nauseum will be removed at moderator discretion. Please search before posting.

4. No low-effort content

Please search before posting. Posts without sufficient effort or relevance will be removed, such as:

Screenshots instead of links to articles/websites
Lazy requests without specific details
Common FAQs or questions that can be answered with a quick google or reddit search (try r/AskSeattle)
Generative AI content without substantial commentary or human influence
Unrelated rants and off-topic discussion that don't contribute to meaningful conversation

5. Use AskSeattle for recommendations

This includes questions or recommendations on neighborhoods, where to eat / stay / visit, moving tips, hidden gems, etc.

Instead, please direct these questions to r/AskSeattle, post in our weekly pinned AskSeattle thread, or check out the /r/Seattle discord.

6. No advertisements, self-promotion, sales, or classifieds

Do not post any form of advertisement or self-promotion, including personal projects or anything you are affiliated with or could benefit from promoting. This includes but is not limited to self-affiliated businesses, organizations, sites/apps, services, events, promos, giveaways, referral codes, or ticket links. Local businesses, creators, organizations, and project owners should post in our weekly promo thread.

Do not post anything promoting a potential transaction or classified, such as items for sale/wanted, pet rehoming/transportation, job listings, or asking for openings. Use r/sealist or r/seajobs. Giveaways of free items are allowed; please use “FREE” in the title.

7. Do not editorialize

Post titles of articles should properly match the article headline if possible. All post titles should be factual and free from clickbait phrases, editorialization, and misleading information.

Do not add personal commentary in the body of the post, add it as a comment on the post.

8. No crowdfunding, surveys, or data gathering

Do not share links to crowdfunding sites or any other requests for donations or financial assistance. Any posts or comments in violation will be removed.

Do not post surveys or forms for the purpose of market research or data collection. Posts including links or codes to sign up for events may be allowed at moderator discretion. Verifiable employees from local universities administrating clinical trials or studies should contact the moderation team with details for post approval.

9. Follow standards for posts about crime

Posts claiming to witness a crime, or accusing someone of a crime, must provide evidence of the alleged crime within the post. This can be a photo/video, a news article, or other substantial evidence that proves said crime took place. Claims of ICE sightings require the same forms of proof.

If you need to verify content privately you must contact the moderators before posting.

Posts must not contain requests for identifying, locating, or engaging with suspected individuals.

10. Follow standards for missing people, pets, or items posts

Do not post lost or missing flyers unless they were made by you.

Missing people, pets, or stolen property posts must contain pictures and last known location.

Missing person or vehicle posts must include a police case number and may not contain personal contact information. Users should only be directed to contact police, tiplines, or news agencies, otherwise posts will be removed without exception.
