I’m needing to change pharmacies and am looking for one in West Seattle with a drive-thru. I know there are drive-thrus at Rite Aid in Westwood Village, Bartell in Admiral and Walgreens, but what I really am looking for is what their customer service is like – would you recommend one over another or tell someone to stay away? I’ve been using QFC’s pharmacy for years which I love, but was looking for something more convenient and tried Amazon Pharmacy – but I’m having issues with them and wanted to change to something local that doesn’t require me to have to park and go inside. (Before anyone accuses me of being lazy, I’m disabled.) Thanks!

I’m an adult intermediate cellist, competent not professional. I’m looking for other adult musicians interested in playing together. Chamber and classical music are obviously a fit for cello, and there’s lots of material out there for string ensembles. But I’m also open to other instruments that don’t fit the narrow definition of chamber/classical music as well.
I’m a fairly competent arranger and multi-instrumentalist too, and I love all manner of modern music so not opposed to branching out and making arrangements of non-classical music. I just really miss playing with other musicians! No real agenda of wanting to perform live, but open to it if things gel and progress.
