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.

It was discovered by a member of the mod team today that an article archived by archive.today had injected malware links into the archived article. This is obviously a problem. To protect members of the community we will be automatically removing posts using this archival service with automoderator. A message will be posted to the thread informing the poster of the reason.

In the future if we get clarity on why this is happening we may re-evaluate. In the meantime other archive sites are fine to submit as usual. If we find this is occurring on other sites we will expand the block list.

We have found some discussion about this elsewhere going back several weeks, we aren't going to remove every archive.today link from the sub, but we strongly suggest caution if you open and read those links. If you find malware in them, please send us mod mail.

As always,

-- the /r/seattle mod team
