gosh imagine if seattle approached homelessness by offering our best to people who need it most without question, like the pope exhorts us to www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

This is the nonsense that is real and is killing people. Jimmy asking this question as he approaches the end of year 8 in government is pathetic. Burien can do better.

George Takei, “Those who ban books fear ideas that set people free. But censorship doesn’t just silence authors—it steals our freedom to learn, to question, to know ourselves and each other. This #BannedBooksWeek, stand up for the freedom to read. Every story matters. Every voice counts.”

Choe is a f’ing menace!

Excellent piece on Seattle’s next Mayor!

Bravo @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social

THANK YOU #POTUS for acknowledging Ukraine's Independence Day is what I would've written yesterday if he hadn't completely ignored it. #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

A Washington National Guard veteran was arrested Thursday during his final citizenship interview at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services building in Tukwila. He is now being held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma.

Loving the analysis of the #Burien races. I hope the momentum can be sustained against the 4 conservative candidates running with the blessing of our particularly unpopular "mayor".

Voters said they left the town hall much more assured that Smith is also still the best choice to represent his major campaign donors Palantir, Microsoft and Lockheed Martin.

BREAKING: Current and former Microsoft workers have started an encampment at the company's Redmond, WA HQ to protest its ties to the Israeli military amid the war in Gaza. A recent report revealed that Microsoft servers store intercepted audio from 1 million phone calls a day made by Palestinians.

Homeless is a housing problem.

Corporate landlords shouldn’t be using pricing algorithms to collude and raise your rent, period. This settlement prohibits the country’s largest landlord from doing this. But we must go further to stop price fixing that hurts millions of Americans. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

this bothers me so much from a chauvinistic national pride perspective. US cities are *way* richer than all but a few foreign ones, but they don't look like the future because we prioritized boomer property values. the SF Bay Area should be a fucking marvel of the world, should eclipse Singapore.

Hero Sandwich!

Speaking of the moderate Seattle Times Editorial Board… Literally none (0) of their City of Seattle endorsements is leading their race. Even in this low turnout primary. I would love to see them explore why that is.

Let’s gooooo! Spokane is a great role model for other cities!!

I voted for @hugo4burien.bsky.social and you should too! Hugo has the brains and the heart to guide Burien into the future!

Please vote!!

Bruce Harrell's campaign misleadingly sent out a text tonight that implies he's the only candidate endorsed by Democrats. In fact, our campaign has the SOLE endorsement of the King County Democrats and every single local Democrat group in Seattle.

Hello #Seattle area friends! Do you love independent neighborhood coffee shops? Burien Press, our neighborhood coffee shop, is hoping to raise money for a down payment to buy their building now that the landlord is ready to sell. I donated $20. Who will match me? :) gofund.me/514e0628

It’s Primary Time! Tuesday (TOMORROW) is Primary Election Day & I want to take a moment to thank all of you who have voted for me & supported my campaign. Our shared vision and your belief in my ability to help bring it to life is what has fueled me day to day leading up to this day.

Texas Democrats are showing the courage we need from Democrats everywhere. There are 15 Democratic trifecta states that can redraw their own maps if Republicans escalate: CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, NJ, NM, NY, OR, RI, and WA.

But Texas Democrats didn’t blink. They boarded planes, crossed state lines, and dared Republicans to try and pass that fascist map without them. This is the kind of fight we need to see from more Democrats right now.

Sarah and @hugo4burien.bsky.social have made an impressive progressive team while in a 5-2 minority- they’ve had each others backs, been able to scrape a few wins we didn’t see coming, & held fast to their values even when out numbered. I trust them with power because I’ve seen how they govern.

I'm honored to be endorsed by Representative Joe Fitzgibbon of the 34th LD. With leaders like him, we can fight climate change & build resilience at the local level. I am committed to continuing our work to ensure climate justice, clean energy, and sustainability are part of Burien's decisions.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Representative Mia Gregerson, @miagregerson.bsky.social who has served the 33rd LD in the house and has championed workers, renters, and protecting our most essential rights. I’m ready to continue working together to make lives better in Burien! Thank you, Rep Gregerson!

Rents in Spokane are down 12% as a result of pro-housing legislation, like removing parking minimums, incentivizing housing on former parking lots, and upzoning all residential parcels. reason.com/2025/07/22/r...

These endorsements are close to my heart because they come from friends and community members I admire and who are working to make Burien a better, kinder, and more welcoming place.

It’s time to get your ballots in & remind your friends and family to VOTE in the Primary election by August 5th! As of yesterday, only about 8% of Burien ballots had been received by King County elections. This means fewer than 2,500 of our Burien friends & neighbors have turned in their ballot.

Vote for Katie @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social for Seattle Mayor!

Totally agree. Please vote for Edwin Obras for LD 33 Rep.

Pass it on: Elections are for more than just the president — and, in WA state, they happen every year! While primary elections like this one don’t often get high voter turnout, they can have a major impact on your day-to-day life.

Thank you, Senator Alvarado! It means so much to have the support and endorsement of my own 34th LD’s housing, affordability, and equity champion in the Senate. I am honored to be endorsed. Reminder: primary ballots are due August 5th! Don’t forget to have your voice heard in this election!

Update on my friend Elisabeth: she lost in court and her eviction is going to proceed. We are desperate to raise enough to purchase an RV, as a kind friend has offered her space in the yard to park an RV. Please consider a donation: gofund.me/67fd415d

🔜 Washington’s primary election is less than two weeks away! Don't worry, we'll remind you about it. This coming Monday, July 28 is the last day to update your address online or via mail. Ballots are due August 5.

Post updated this morning with an email from Cathy Moore, who resigned from the council, to Councilmember Mark Solomon, trying to influence him not to move forward with renters' commission appointments that she preventing from moving forward for her entire 18-month term.

Regarding the #EpsteinFiles, since we care about children, Palestinian children are dying from starvation with the huge help of your tax dollars.

I love the clarity and commitment you hear in @hugo4burien.bsky.social ‘s responses to this questionnaire. He knows this city well and can be trusted to guide us into the coming years listening to the voice of the people.

@sarah4burien.bsky.social ‘s responses show her clear understanding of what #Burien needs in the coming 4 years. Vote for Sarah today!

Let’s Go Hugo!! He’s got the heart and the smart to guide Burien forward.

As the Trump Administration continues to push prices sky high, we are saying HELL NO to cuts to affordable housing programs. Hell no to more Americans living on the street. Hell no to the cruelty and the greed.

I’m in this race because I believe we need more community, care, and connections and says like this prove that is possible when people come together!

Always gotta wonder if candidates are lying or lazy. Wonder which it is this time. Either way, not cool Ivey, not cool. #poisonivey
