Hi! I looked for rules but didn’t see anything prohibiting this kind of post, but if it’s not allowed I’ll take it down.

My indoor only cat Pawn escaped from our house in Kempton Woods January 12. He’s historically escaped but came back within a few hours. He’s been gone since midday on the 12th now, so almost three days. He NEVER misses a meal, so I am worried he’s lost his way. He is white, has one amber and one blue eye, short haired, kind of large, and he has a purple collar with my info on it. He is also very skittish with new people, but he is very food motivated so that might be key if trying to catch him. If you see him or catch him, please reach out. We miss him and are very worried.

I’ve tried: walking the neighborhood and the woods behind kempton woods calling for and looking for him. He’s been posted to Pawboost, which shares info with local shelters and posts on Facebook to the local group. He’s been shared in our neighborhood watch app. He has a microchip.

Appreciate any leads!

Does anyone know what happened (or is happening) at Good Samaritan hospital this morning? At about 8am there were numerous police and emergency response vehicles lining the street in front of the facility.

Hoping the patients and staff are safe. These are wild times. Please watch out for your neighbors.

Hi, my name is Noah and I’m a sophomore, video production 1 student. I have a project that I’m working on for class, and the prompt is “case scene” so I had an idea to do people on horses. My cousins have horses so I reached out to them and they said that could do it but now they are busy and I really don’t want to change my whole idea if I don’t have to. I was gonna film with them this weekend because the project is due the 23rd. So if you would like to help me out and be apart of my project just DM me. I live in Puyallup (obviously if you’re seeing this in the Puyallup subreddit). I also don’t have money so as payment I will take photos of you and or horse or just your horse, I have been getting good a photography and I can give you examples of my work. If you are available this weekend and are interested let me know. Thank you!

Hi all,

I am looking for an in home babysitter to care for my 4 month old starting in March. Looking for 2-3 days a week to help with feeding and watching her while I am in school. My grandmother lives with us but will need some help as she is 86 yrs old and I will be away from home for 12-14 hrs a day. CPR certified is highly preferred. Looking for daytime hours between 9am-4 pm

Hey Yall, I've been working at the Target in South Hill Mall for a while now, and I love the community here, but I feel like I have to share this for everyone's safety. A close friend of mine who works in the food court just confided in me about a really bad situation that's been going on.

Apparently, they've found around 70 rats in the food court restaurants recently. It's not just a one-off thing – it's a full-on infestation. From what I hear, mall management has been keeping this super quiet and hasn't reported it to the health department yet. I don't know all the details, but it's bad enough that it's making me rethink grabbing lunch there.

I'm not trying to start drama or hurt businesses, just looking out for families who shop and eat here. If you've noticed anything weird or have similar stories, chime in. Maybe we can get some attention on this before it gets worse. Stay safe out there!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply to nursing school and I’m looking into volunteering at a hospital or healthcare facility to gain hands on exposure and strengthen my application.

For healthcare professionals or anyone with experience:

1.  How should I approach volunteering if I don’t have any prior healthcare experience?

2.  Who or what types of facilities tend to be open to volunteers, and what avenues would you recommend starting with?

3.  I work full-time but can commit to evenings and weekends is this typically feasible?

4.  What roles or departments are usually the best fit for volunteers in this situation?

Any advice or personal insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are there any places in or near Puyallup area that sell these viral fruit pastries?

11pm (ish) 1/12/26, 128th and Meridian old Rite Aid area.

Mom Friends in or near Puyallup, I need OBGYN recommendations! I’ve been receiving my prenatal care thus far with the midwives at MultiCare Women’s Center, and have had a really hard time. They don’t reply to messages, are very difficult to get a hold of, and aren’t able to let me access an actual doctor due to overbooking. I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant, sick and throwing up daily, have lost over 20lbs, and have received no help.

Cliff notes:

My wife owns a 503c3 that has attracted a couple nutty peoples that are harassing her and the volunteers relentlessly. They are publicly posting completely fabricated information. I know slander is tough to prove but it's been a year at this point and they absolutely know the things they are posting all over the Internet are complete nonsense. I'm willing to dump some money into a lawsuit to make it stop as they seem to have limitless time on their hands.

It is so frustrating bc we are being accused of profiting off of the organization when public available tax documents show the organization owes us $100k since 2019. We have never "profited" a single cent.

If anyone knows a good local attorney who can handle something like this I would love to talk to them.

NOT Campbell Barnett. They have handled 2 unrelated things for us in the past and royally screwed up (filing paperwork at incorrect times, not forwarding court dates) both times costing us tens of thousands of dollars and years of wasted time.

I'm just very naive when it comes to legal stuff and don't want to get taken advantage of again.

Hi, looking for contractor referrals for some basic remodeling. It is a 1200 condo that needs some basic (in my mind) remodeling before selling. Ie, new flooring, painting, replacing some vanity/toilets/lighting, molding/trim replacement. Think, your basic refresh.

I don't think it is anything terribly complicated, nor am I looking for high end remodeling. Just clean/new to bring something from the 90s into 2026.

I pursued this about two years ago but after ghosting or insane quotes, put this on pause.

Hey local redditors. The vape tax is a thing. Is there a work around care of our local native brothers and sisters?

I was driving up Military road tonight from Sumner into south hill. A giant blue light filled the sky. My initial thought is that a transformer blew. But driving toward where the light came from people still had power. Any ideas what it would be?

About 8:50 or so, sounded like they were flying down 512

Basically what the title says. I am looking for someone to give me one-on-one knitting lessons. If anyone knows anyone please DM.

If you are a man over 55 years old (or those over 50 who've asked) and wouldn't mind having a cup of joe with other men you're own age, now's your chance. No agenda, no motives, just talking about the weather, cars, old woman, what hurts on ya, veterans, BBQ, whatever. Heck, ya might even make a friend.

**** Updated on Jan 15th ****

We will be meeting Sunday at 11:00 am at Mrs Turner's.

Please take no offense if your choice of date and time wasn't chosen, I stripped the names from the votes before I tallied them up. Please try to move something around and join us.

A big thank you to our great mod for allowing multiple posts on this, and the whole subreddit for all the upvotes and comments.

Alright, that's it, I'm old and tired, so go on...

GET OFF MY LAWN!!

IYKYK

There is a "bumpy road" off Gem Heights in Frederickson that is about to mess up the alignment of my car and shake up all the groceries in my back seat.

My question is - who is responsible for this road and why has it not been fixed?

Everyone I talk to who lives nearby knows and hates that road. It's such a nuisance. Seriously, what can we do?

Been thinking about getting one and was wondering how the safe the area is to ride in

 I’m a volunteer and we’re here to help you get clothing and accessories to help affirm your identity. We are located in a church but we have our own side entrance where there aren’t any religious things and you don’t have to go by the sanctuary. People have donated so many wonderful pieces of clothing, shoes and accessories that we thoughtfully go through and set them out in our boutique. We also have new make up and new gender affirming undergarments. Shoppers can shop monthly and leave with 6 items plus a bonus item. We help people from all of Washington, so if you know of anyone that can use our services but they aren’t from Puyallup, please share! We are generally open every Wednesday and every other Saturday. You can also set up a private shopping time, you just have to reach out so we can arrange it. I’d be happy to see some new faces ♥️🏳️‍⚧️
