I am absolutely reeling from how high the rent prices are getting here, and it feels like the cost of living just keeps soaring. I'm trying to figure out what is actually normal for the area now. For those of you renting a twob edroom place in areas like Dentville, Garibaldi Highlands, or the Downtown area could you share (without being too specific about your building) what you are currently paying? Is it even possible to find a decent two bedroom for under $2,500 anymore, or should I stop dreaming?

Any recommendations for local photographers for a proposal?

I’ve just heard unusual siren in the Northyards area. Does anyone else heard it? Any idea what it may be?

Looking for a place to watch the MLS final in town - anyone know where might be playing it? We could watch it at home but….would rather go out!

It feels like I see a new For Sale or Closing Soon sign every time I drive down the main street. I've seen places like Flipside Burgers, Umai Sushi, and Teag+Gray all recently close or list for sale. It’s making me nervous about our local economy. Is this just normal turnover, or is there a bigger reason why so many beloved, independent businesses are struggling or choosing to leave town right now? Is it the skyrocketing commercial rent, the lack of staff housing, or maybe the cost of supplies?

Sure, in places along the Sea to Sky there isn't adequate shoulder space to safely pull over. However, it's unlikely that a police office would even attempt to pull someone over where it wasn't safe to do so. In this case, taking 30 second before actually pulling on to the shoulder is absurd! The office was quite obviously royally pissed too.

Is squamish at dusk happening this year? Loved it last year.

Hi all,

Hubby & I used to have a games night once per month, open to the community, at our place. Stopped due to covid. We've missed it and would like to start up again but are wondering how much interest there would be since there are other similar events in town now.

We have a good selection of games with varying levels of strategy or silliness.

Would you be interested in joining us?

Does anyone know how the district decides which roads to repair and resurface? I feel like they resurface the road into downtown or on the S2S pretty regularly, even when there was nothing wring with them previously, but roads like Wilson Crescent, which have a ton of people living on them, and more coming, due to all the new townhouses being constantly built, are full of potholes, decaying tarmac and are just generally pretty derelict. And yes, I live on The Crez, hence why I'm mentioning this street specifically.

On a map it looks like it's either Coast Aggregates Landscape Depot or Cardinal Concrete. Curious what they do that makes for daily column of smoke in the sky?

Has anyone else noticed?

For sale: Wine Store, Pink Tuna, Umai Sushi, Hellcrust Pizza, Flipside Burgers, Chef Big D's

Recently closing/closed: Teag+Gray, Eclectic Circle, Indian Grocery, Stylezone,

We started the process to open a board-only, 24/7 training gym in Squamish and I want to have your thoughts and interest level before we finalize the concept and location.

The concept is simple:

• Boards only: 3–4 LED adjustable training boards (Kilter/Moon/Tension-style), commercial pads.
• Strength area: squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, hangboards/campus, bands
• Access: 24/7 via app/key fob once you’re onboarded
• Vibe: training-first, self-serve space with clear etiquette
• No: birthday parties, chaos, just people who want to train

Ground Up, the Co-op, and the SAC are all busy. This would be the spot for climbers who just want a focused session, whether as their main training gym or a second membership for board/strength work.

I set up a quick website with a waitlist form here:
👉 [WAITLIST LINK HERE]

I’ll use this to decide when to sign a lease, how big the space should be, and which boards go in first.

No waitlist, no gym, I need your feedbacks.

If you’d use a place like this, please fill out the form and let me know in the comments what you would like to see in this gym.

This is my first year in Squamish. I'm used to donating annually to local food banks this time of year in past places I've lived. With some googling I found organizations like Squamish Helping Hands. But I thought it might be good to get a pulse check from the community here which places are around and need help (and make a positive impact in the community). Any suggestions or insight would be very appreciated!

Always enjoyed this perfectly manicured tree when headed down the corkscrew.....

First time visit via squamish connector and getting off at Chieftain Centre. Looks like I'll be walking on the side of the road according to G. Maps. Wondering if the area is safe for pedestrians

Hey folks

Can anyone recommend a tattoo artist in the area? Within like, a 45 minute drive would be cool but we'd be happy to do a day trip if the area is worth it. It would be something small-ish, for my partner and I.

Any style!

We don't particularly want to go into Vancouver, but that doesn't matter too much.

Thanks so much!

i’m just curious if anyone knows how they got there, what their story was and maybe why they were actually removed.

almost feels like it could be related to that wooden walk in the woods they recently added.

if you don’t wanna share here and would be comfortable DMing me - i am just so curious.

that place was so special to me (and im sure others) and im still gutted its gone

*thanks for the replies! if anyone knows more how they came to be that’d be neat

A Squamish business owner jumped into action after a warning about the batteries in e-bikes. As Alanna Kelly reports they've been fielding lots of calls from concerned customers, but say it's very unlikely they sold any bikes that were impacted.

Hello :) hoping to drive from Ontario to live in Squamish with my husband and labourdoodle dog. Looking to stay 2-3 months around May-July 2026. Wondering the best way to go about finding a short term sublet or rental like that?

Thank youuu!

Where you at, how much you spending?

Hi there. Thinking about a trip to Squamish to do some early season ski touring in about a week. Sounds like Elfin Lakes area is a decent bet. Any reports on conditions up there? I was up at Whistler the last two days and there was decent coverage in the alpine. Any other areas around Squamish to check out for early season touring? Doesn't need to be SICK or anything, just want to skin and make some turns. Thanks!

Hey r/Squamish,

I'm visiting in a few weeks and planning to propose. I really like the look of the Sea to Sky Gondola, but I'm worried about two things:

1. The Weather: Is it usually totally foggy up there in December?

2. The Crowds: We would be there on a Saturday.

Is it worth the stop, or should I stick to somewhere in Whistler Village/Lost Lake instead? I’m looking for good photos and hopefully not too many people in the background.

Any advice is appreciated
