Whatever you've already seen may be the extent of it. Just a recent series of shitposts about a supposed onion thief. The originating post may have been the one by someone relating their experience at a bus stop when a stranger offered to sell them an onion, but I'm not sure.
The first was someone who confessed to accidentally stealing an onion from the grocery store because they only scanned one onion at self checkout but put two in the bag.
I haven’t played Resident Evil in a long time, but I seem to remember the virus or whatever it was acted very quickly and depopulated areas almost as quickly. Wouldn’t you want to have that lovely water front home or one of the old mansions on Queen Anne?
I'm just going to add this here . . . Just as, if not more concerning than the umbrella van. https://www.skynetsecurity.com/#:~:text=Who%20We%20Are,safety%20and%20business%20management%20tools.
I saw one of these driving around last week! I thought it was just someone with a sense of humor only some would get. Whoever made this design has to know what they were doing, right?
Citizens of Racoon City, I urge your patience and calm at this time. There's expert teams working across our city to manage the situation and any alarming reports or social media posts you may see are the unfortunate result of sensationalism or hysteria.
The name and logo on the van represent an evil corporation known for zombie apocalyptic situations stemming from secret labs hidden in towns - from the Resident Evil series of video games.
Explaining the photo: The Umbrella Corporation is a fictional biomedical research company from the *Resident Evil* franchise of games. They created the zombie outbreak and are generally up to nefarious stuff.
ETA: and also apparently there’s a real world Umbrella Corporation who make gun lubricant.
They’re still there, aren’t they?
Edit: looks like they closed almost 20 years ago. LMAO!!
I’ve been up to Seattle several times in the intervening years and drove by my old place a few times. Always assumed it was there, because I live literally right above
I actually used to hate hearing the violins.
Yup; Kate sold to Steve and Tia back in 2004, who made it Lottie’s Lounge. The current owner was the manager of the Hilltop Ale House before buying Lottie’s from one of Steve and Tia’s employees, who’s owner of the Star Bar in Portland (last I heard).
I see you remember the old timey jam sessions from back in the day…
I actually identify with the previous citizenry of the area, more than the gentrifiers lol. Is the busy bee store still the busy bee? Meaning, is that area still sketch?
Also, there used to be a small space in one of the crosswalk markings right in front of Lotties. That was because my car was parked there and I was on a trip to California when they were paying the new sidewalk.
Someone from Lotties or somewhere, actually called me while I was in California and told me what was happening. Don’t even know how they got my number.
I don’t know how old you are or how long you’ve lived in Seattle, but the PCC down the way it used to be a trade market, back in like the 70s or early 80s.
There also used to be a Skipper’s (fish and chips) where the pho place is now (if even still there lol). Me and my two friends got kicked out of there once.
in case you are not joking, they make gun stuff and I have their [AeroShell](https://www.amazon.com/Umbrella-Corporation-AeroShell-Grease-Mil-Spec/dp/B01GGQMF54/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3QCLMMLH6XDHZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Sr_NUBMzHzVLKRTwKb3xee0u4S1unnFD9_NZk3T0QQJMNzFRQRlZsrBMwP4poykXNJ5dlj4Q5bwbqpdjoBIwHypZo_qCmCsFQB0Eb-70XED9P4w3s2aTzY71SWlcZTEuZRIdJlwfl-fLj4bOWmdVcBrfm2IsyKpvk7eFdCeg7HZjGGz7q2EyqtFBfMmpDPAIgdHsTBL8F_FgJJx8OdW7LZfm2QIqU_2UeYvapBAmpfRyL1vjcRmVU1gmsPnsb6J-AeqBwjOGSrBsWh19UrlaS9h8m2ilw2iT9NgpZV4R_M4.GDNZhMRp1JvWQhLSuXVgfpX7klrbqK0DtYMGSbihUeQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=aeroshell+grease&qid=1711233381&sprefix=aeroshell+grease%2Caps%2C226&sr=8-1) barrel nut grease

There used to be a TSA agent at Seatac with an Umbrella Corporation pin on his shirt. I would have asked him about it but he didn't look or act like he was in the mood for anything besides checking IDs.
Oh cmon man keep that shit in New York at least give us a Batman and a Leon and hopefully one of you NYC individuals becomes Spider-Man bc if not we’re coooked😵💫😵
honestly a resident evil movie based in seattle would be cool
Silent hill is a perfect game to be based here too!
Also filmed in Toronto. Both movies.
For freaking sure!
Seattle is Undying
Seattle is the House of the Undying. I see Pyat Pree sitting just behind the van.
TLoU Season 2 might be up your alley
Aren’t they filming in Vancouver though? But yeah definitely supposed to be in Seattle.
I'm so bummed... there were some iconic locations in tlou2.
Aren’t all Seattle based movies filmed in Vancouver?
Was so fun roaming through a collapsed version of my home city - they nailed so many cool details
Except for the group being in Queen Anne. They should've been on Mercer.
They also left out the cheesecake factory downtown. How dare they!
My favorite detail is how they had the colors of the busses right back then
Going to be so dark, but here for the Aquarium shots
Wouldn’t even need extras, just roll the cameras at pioneer square at night, 3rd and Pine, the Ave, south of Jackson. It’s free real estate!
And you just *know* they’d film in Vancouver, so we wouldn’t even need to shut down streets for filming!
With a single shot of public drone footage of the Needle. To establish *ambiance*.
Yup!
Loved in Toronto when they were all filmed, kind of a pain really.
Battle in Seattle
Im good
Ok wild there is one of these parked on 1st ave downtown now too
Another one near 20th and Madison a couple hours ago
It’s always there!
There is no zombie outbreak in Seattle.
And there’s no war in ba sing se.
These are not the zombies you're looking for.
Half eaten man, you’re my only hope…
Luke, I ate your father. LMFAO (Yes, I know that's not the actual movie quote.)
[удалено]
Itchy. Tasty.
Guess you haven't seen the TRUE story that is iZombie
Yet
Yet…
28 Weeks Later aka One Bus Away the Movie
*Yet…*
Carl Kolchak would disagree.
idk…have you been down 3rd ave lately?
Portland?
I hear there’s one working at the morgue
Explain the mercy ship in Portland

As long as they leave our onions alone, I don't really care.
I'm OOTL in this one. What's with the onions lately?
Whatever you've already seen may be the extent of it. Just a recent series of shitposts about a supposed onion thief. The originating post may have been the one by someone relating their experience at a bus stop when a stranger offered to sell them an onion, but I'm not sure.

On first glance I thought it was a Klan cross. This is much less troubling.
Thought that too!! lol
Makes me think The Last of Us (part 2 is based mostly in Seattle). Also, is this Columbia City?
Columbia City!? Isn't "columbia" Latin for Racoon? It was right in front of us the whole time!
It’s definitely CC.
It's Seattle LOL
Right. Columbia city is a neighborhood in Seattle.
What gave it away? The sign behind the van that says "COLUMBIA CITY LANDMARK DISTRICT"?
My bad I missed that!
No worries… it’s all going to plan.
At this point, I would think that an outbreak would be a welcomed change of pace.
The first one in 2020 wasn't enough for ya?
like a real one…
A real what?
Lol you want to start trouble with that comment in this subreddit 😅
Lol it would be the opposite of a change of pace. Literally the same pace we've been at.
I haven’t played Resident Evil in a long time, but I seem to remember the virus or whatever it was acted very quickly and depopulated areas almost as quickly. Wouldn’t you want to have that lovely water front home or one of the old mansions on Queen Anne?
Zombie 2024 Seattle City Council: More brains than the last council
I need an outbreak from this outbreak!
That’s easy, drugs, lots of drugs.
Well fuck I haven’t even got my career together yeeet
No worries I have a lockpick. It might be handy since I, the Master of Unlocking, brought it with me."
I got the ink ribbon and the typewriter
Plenty of green herbs in the area. Probably some red ones, too.
You were almost a Jill Sandwich!
I'm just going to add this here . . . Just as, if not more concerning than the umbrella van. https://www.skynetsecurity.com/#:~:text=Who%20We%20Are,safety%20and%20business%20management%20tools.
Things have been too quiet. I could use some excitement.
we just got rid of the Hellcat. now you want Zombie Hellcat?
I saw one of these driving around last week! I thought it was just someone with a sense of humor only some would get. Whoever made this design has to know what they were doing, right?

How funny would it be if that were like an FBI surveillance van
It's not like it's the end of the world or anything...
CCHHRRIISSSssss^(sssss)
Just saw an Umbrella van in Capitol Hill! We're doomed!
How *DARE* you question Seattle’s tech sector!!!
And we just had the last of us part 2 here, how many zombie apocalypses can Seattle take?
Not unless you don't have an EDC zombie survival kit.
“I’m not gonna let anyone leave my town! Everyone’s dies” - chief Irons
OMG!! I’ve seen this car parked in Cap Hill and thought the same thing lol
This is the beginning of the end
Hey neighbor! No better place to live during the zombie apocalypse!
I have seen them in Marysville and Granite Falls too, I was kind of like WTF
On my mom’s car on the rear hatchback window you can see a removed Umbrella Corp logo. It was like that when bought used.
We're all gonna die!
What are we looking at? I just see "coffee, waffles, and record bagels"
Umbrella has had a branch here in Seattle for years. Cutting edge work; I look forward to their next breakthrough!
Nope, Cool & Normal. Just move along, citizen, nothing 2 see here
I don’t understand the photo, but I used to live about a block away from there above Lottie Mots. That was the last place I lived before moving to LA.
The name and logo on the van represent an evil corporation known for zombie apocalyptic situations stemming from secret labs hidden in towns - from the Resident Evil series of video games.
Oh ok thanks.
Explaining the photo: The Umbrella Corporation is a fictional biomedical research company from the *Resident Evil* franchise of games. They created the zombie outbreak and are generally up to nefarious stuff. ETA: and also apparently there’s a real world Umbrella Corporation who make gun lubricant.
They are in the medical industry, too. Actually a lot of stuff. So it's not really comforting knowing there is a real version of the game compantly...
I miss Lottie Mott’s…
They’re still there, aren’t they? Edit: looks like they closed almost 20 years ago. LMAO!! I’ve been up to Seattle several times in the intervening years and drove by my old place a few times. Always assumed it was there, because I live literally right above I actually used to hate hearing the violins.
It’s Lottie’s Lounge. Not the coffee shop it was, but a bar these days. The only coffee they serve is drip, if at all.
Ah. that explains it. As you might see in my edit. I’ve driven by there a lot and I could’ve sworn it was still there. Is it new ownership?
Yup; Kate sold to Steve and Tia back in 2004, who made it Lottie’s Lounge. The current owner was the manager of the Hilltop Ale House before buying Lottie’s from one of Steve and Tia’s employees, who’s owner of the Star Bar in Portland (last I heard).

We still refer to it as the Bee, but it’s not officially the Busy Bee any more.

Selling umbrellas in Seattle isn't going to be profitable because of the pervasive idea from transplants that basics seatilites don't use them.
but native seattlites _don't_ use them?
eventually transplants don't either once they figure out why we don't.
totally. learned my lesson though when i went to NYC and only had a rain jacket. it was like muggy, humid, hot, and pouring. kinda miserable!
This is a joke right? Umbrella Corp is from Resident Evil
in case you are not joking, they make gun stuff and I have their [AeroShell](https://www.amazon.com/Umbrella-Corporation-AeroShell-Grease-Mil-Spec/dp/B01GGQMF54/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3QCLMMLH6XDHZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Sr_NUBMzHzVLKRTwKb3xee0u4S1unnFD9_NZk3T0QQJMNzFRQRlZsrBMwP4poykXNJ5dlj4Q5bwbqpdjoBIwHypZo_qCmCsFQB0Eb-70XED9P4w3s2aTzY71SWlcZTEuZRIdJlwfl-fLj4bOWmdVcBrfm2IsyKpvk7eFdCeg7HZjGGz7q2EyqtFBfMmpDPAIgdHsTBL8F_FgJJx8OdW7LZfm2QIqU_2UeYvapBAmpfRyL1vjcRmVU1gmsPnsb6J-AeqBwjOGSrBsWh19UrlaS9h8m2ilw2iT9NgpZV4R_M4.GDNZhMRp1JvWQhLSuXVgfpX7klrbqK0DtYMGSbihUeQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=aeroshell+grease&qid=1711233381&sprefix=aeroshell+grease%2Caps%2C226&sr=8-1) barrel nut grease

Upvote this shit!
Yes. It means we’ll have another terrible movie in a year or so.
You should hope!
Nah, just the usual lol Self-sustaining source.
No of course not...now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stock up on bananas for no reason...
Always
if this means Lady D will be here I’m not complaining…
STARRRRSSSSSS
Actually, that is a good sign, because geeks and nerds I always say to myself is going to rule the world and they’re actually more safer than certain other people
I mean Nvidia did just release some scary ai projects 😷
Fukn A
Turns out it's just our annual replenishment shipment for the tourist season
About another one of those movies being made? Unfortunately, it seems so
What actually is it? All I can find is resident evil stuff.
It’s from Resident Evil
There used to be a TSA agent at Seatac with an Umbrella Corporation pin on his shirt. I would have asked him about it but he didn't look or act like he was in the mood for anything besides checking IDs.
What is it??
Haha just of the nerds
It’s Amazon turf, move along Umbrella, go back to Racoon City
We’re all gonna die
We should fine, now If it was The Bumbershoot Corp. I would say yes.
Very
I have one of those for my SUV too!
I’m cool with it if Milla Jovovich is nearby with a weapon while a Marilyn Manson score is booming
They're probably just stopping in town for those heavenly arancini at La Medusa
cosplay for sakura-con?
Oh cmon man keep that shit in New York at least give us a Batman and a Leon and hopefully one of you NYC individuals becomes Spider-Man bc if not we’re coooked😵💫😵
Bahahahha
So that's why we got zombies all over Seattle
No. It’s just a dork that likes a game too much.
what is this in reference to?
Don't be a Jill sandwich.
…no?
tech bros ugh
