While the PC gamer community is torn between the AMD Radeon 6900 XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, I'm going with AMD as the top choice. It's a few hundred dollars cheaper than the NVIDIA card and is just as fast, if not faster.

A fun little multiplayer game of teamwork and betrayal that's playable with 4-10 friends and family members across the web.

It's the most anticipated game of the year and made by the incredible studio behind The Witcher games. Plus, Keanu Reeves is in it and who doesn't love Keanu Reeves?

Perfect for those sore muscles after an exercise! Especially if you get shin splints.

Awesome starter 3D printer. Prints better than some of the high end ones I've used. I use Cura as the slicer.

Is an amazing machine. I opted for the mini because I have too many 3D printers and am running out of desk space. The instructions come with gummy bears, hard to beat.

If you can snag yourself a pre-order of the next-gen PS5, it will have backwards compatibility, meaning all of your old PS4 games will still be playable and run much better!

Awesome Bluetooth headphones. The connection is flawless, the sound is great and reliable for up to 4 hours. I've had them for over a year and still love them.

Allows the gamer you love to try out 100+ popular games through a monthly subscription. Perfect gift option if you're not sure which game they might like.

The city views are beautiful, the bar and the restaurant are delicious and the people are super friendly.

Gorgeous orchard for an outdoor wedding ceremony and reception for a large wedding. Indoor area for a smaller wedding.

Great event space for concerts, corporate events and even weddings. Update: they sold to some big investors that will be tearing down the building :(

Lisa was able to work within my budget and style to create the most beautiful assortments for my wedding party, parents, ceremony chairs and center pieces. Working with her from across the country was fun and easy! 100% recommend Lisa and her team.

John was my photographer for my wedding at Terrain! He brought on a secondary photographer to capture our special day. He also set up a black and white photo shoot area for my guests to take fun photos. He's extremely talented and a pleasure to work with. If you can get him, lock him down asap!

The folks at Joseph Jewelry helped make our custom wedding bands. I had fallen in love with an overpriced designer ring and from just a few pictures, they were able to create the same ring at a fraction of the cost. While most mens wedding ring selections are a total bore, Joseph Jewelry has amazing Mokume rings that blend many different metals (golds, etc.) to create a unique look.

I listen to this guy everyday walking to and from home. He's got a sweet corner where he makes sweet tunes! Sometimes I'll leave the windows/patio door open just to let the sounds flow into my house!

Such a magical place for an outdoor/indoor wedding.

We had a big group of 7 folks and I was surprised by the amount of puzzles and rooms we had access to. Had a great time!

I bought a loaf from their Capitol Hill farmer's market tent and ate the entire thing. Their baked goods are amazing.

Vaughn Walter is an amazing Wedding DJ. He handled the music for the ceremony (bridal party walking out, etc.) transitions from ceremony to rehearsal dinner, announcements, speeches, cake cutting, etc. He stuck to the playlist/vibe I gave him. Vaughn is a pro!

Had a company holiday party here and this place is stunning! Hard to believe it's in Sodo.

Perfect if you need something fast!

Surprised my best bud with flowers for her birthday from here. They have a few already-made bouquets or you can work with the florist to come up with a custom arrangement. While they're a bit pricey, the flower selection is unique and has more of a variety than other places.

Beautiful wedding venue with an outdoor garden for the ceremony and a dock right on the water. Guests are able to rent rooms in the castle as well.

I hired Will for a corporate event. He did a fantastic job considering the venue had dim lighting. His communication was excellent, he was punctual and provided me with 100+ photos within 48 hours. I can't think of anyone more reliable than Will.

Chelsea gave me an amazing hair cut at Emerson Salon. She uses Kevin Murphy products that I'm obsessed with!

Had facials and a haircut/style here. They're great at everything and have the best products for sale.

My friend Jane recommended Industry Salon here on Fresh Chalk and I decided to check them out. I just received the best haircut I've had in years. Since I was a new customer, they gave me a cute little gift AND gave Jane $20 off her next haircut for recommending me. Really excited to recommend friends here knowing that they'll be treated well, have a great haircut and go home with a little gift! Such great service.

Sooo, this place is my secret. They do such a great job here.

The best place to pamper those nasty toes! Mani + pedi combo is great. You get to choose your scrubs, lotions and tea. Be sure to get the hot towel!

Xia is the best! She cut/styled both mine & the hubby's hair.

Went here for the beginning class and it was a lot of fun. Excited to go back!

Had a great massage here. My deep tissue massage didn't turn out to be what I expected but it was still pretty good. Communication is key, still trying to learn all the lingo.

Awesome place to donate your gently used stuff. It's a thrift store where profits go to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

Real boxing gym that offers group and private sessions taught by champion boxers. They also have open gym hours if classes aren't your thing.

Organizations like ACLU are vital to defending the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to each person in our country. ACLU is fighting to keep families together at our borders, getting peaceful protesters out of jail and standing up for all of us in times of need.

Leandra is amazing and offers private sessions as well.

My favorite hot yoga spot in Seattle

They've rescued me a few times after locking myself out. They've also changed the locks on my condo after each tenant. I definitely recommend these guys.

They fixed my lil baby espresso machine in 2 weeks. They showed me what was broken, how it probably broke and how they fixed it. Then I immediately forgot. Nicest, smartest dudes ever. Thanks to them, I can now practice my fancy latte art at home.

MOO.com has the best cardstock options for fancy business cards. Since they're so thick, you can only carry about 10 but people love them! Real American Psycho vibes.

They did such a great job with my apartment. Everything is shiny!!!

I really like VistaPrint when you have a bit time (for shipping), they have templates you can download to make sure your stuff comes out looking perfect. Great to work with.

Inga was recommended by a friend and helped us find an awesome apartment to rent.

Krisjan Vermelis is the person to go to here for buying/selling a home in Austin.

I've used U-Pack relocation cubes to move from Seattle to Austin, Denver and back. They offer cheap storage options and will coordinate moving staff if needed.

Rented a 2 person office month to month. Easy to negotiate pricing. Had drinks, snacks and networking events.

I've banked with BECU while living in 12 countries and 4 states. Never had a problem they couldn't resolve immediately. Their app is extremely helpful!

Game development community based coworking space where you can rent a desk part time or full time with a daily pass option as well.

Brenna provides exceptional tax services for small businesses and individuals. She can also answer your crypto-currency tax questions! (She's based in the East Coast)

Everyone here is awesome and they have a large selection of frames

I've had some discomfort with my eyes for the past 6 months and found Eyes On You from the recommendations here on Fresh Chalk. And I'm so happy I did because Dr. Lin was amazing! She ran so many tests and by the end of my 40 minute appointment, we figured out exactly why. Can't recommend the team at Eyes On You enough.

They carry rare and hard to find frames here. I found a pair that were made from an old barn door that were one of 100 pairs ever made.

Best Mitsubishi dealership to get service. Haven't found anyone better.

These guys are amazing. They'll drive to your house/apartment and change your tires in your parking spot!

Google Fi is great! I experienced uninterrupted access to data/calls from all over the world. Even while driving around in the Arctic Circle in Norway!

Awesome and local roaster. They deliver bags and cold brew to your door in the Seattle area. I've even shipped a couple bags to a friend in San Francisco. Great service and friendly folks. I got hooked on them while working out if WeWork (they're on tap).

They send me a bag of coffee each month. It's a great way to discover third wave coffee roasters in the United States.
