Members of Sound Transit's union bargaining group are currently testifying at the board's exec committee about the fact that the agency is blocking good-faith bargaining its employee union. One rep is calling ST's behavior "disheartening at best and disrespectful at worst." This is very unusual.

Maybe someone can request an environmental review to slow the project down if approved 🙃

Our street design is among the most dangerous within the state and it’s led to some of the highest numbers of pedestrian and bicyclist injuries per capita. Car focused design is killing us via pollution, micro plastics, and by actual fatalities in collisions www.theurbanist.org/2025/10/25/o...

The federal government is not doing their job. The tariffs, healthcare cuts, government shutdown, immigration insanity are all doing harm to us. It is time to start publicly discussing withholding federal tax revenue along with Newsome, Pritzker and any other Governor with morals.

Spending tax dollars on $175M private jets, $1B to renovate a private jet, $150M on golf trips, & other wasteful spending while Americans face going without food due to SNAP benefits not going out in Nov is a gop policy choice. #Pinks

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

This is the guy who wanted to move past nonsense scandals the right wing chucklefucks drummed up, btw lynnwoodtoday.com/lynnwood-can...

Yes I’m talking about Dio

Washington State’s DOL is sharing our data with ICE again. They had stopped in 2018, but started up again that same year jaroberts1501.me/2025/07/12/w...

Lynnwood’s economy is tied with car dealerships right now and it’s given them an outsized say in the way our city is run. Breaking the power of these dealerships is going to be critical to redeveloping 99

Man, some of these council candidates are just…wow

The attempt to brand the concentration camp that Florida built as a prison similar to the infamous one in the Bay Area is disgusting. Especially with the racist history around alligators and Floridians. jaroberts1501.me/2025/07/08/a...

This is a crisis. @governorferguson.bsky.social needs to call an emergency session to plug the funding gaps.

Analysis shows FOURTEEN Washington hospitals in rural areas are at risk of closure if the MAGA GOP pass their budget to gut Medicaid to give tax cuts to their wealthy donors. Lifesaving care would disappear across our state, leading to more deaths driving up the cost of health care for everyone.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Today is a major victory for our public lands. Thank YOU for your incredible outpouring in defense of our American birthright. Because of you, the lands that we cherish will remain OURS. And to those already plotting to go after our public lands another way: Don’t. Unless you like losing.

The Senate is a standing gerrymander with two Dakotas getting four votes to California's two. That we are tearing down our public institutions on a 51-49 vote is just insane.

Bluesky Sunday sermon

Safe streets advocates are out on Lake Washington Boulevard today, protecting the entrances to Bicycle Weekend open streets with their bodies after an alarming close call collision involving a kid last two weeks ago. They're calling for more robust street protection.

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.

Happy Pride!! 🌈. Downtown Seattle was 🔥 🦄 🔥

We love a pedestrianized sweets, well done Leavenworth

Very nice! 👏

Melissa Hortman is no longer with us “All because someone decided her voice was too powerful” “Female members regardless of party affiliation are the #1 target for violence, threats, & hate campaigns” For all women watching “We see you We’re going to Keep Showing Up, Louder, Stronger, Together”

Turning parking lots into housing and green space is the kind of bold land use reform that’s going to help us get a handle on Climate Change…we need bold action a the municipal level across the US. Particularly in Lynnwood as we’re making the switch from suburb to city

I was literally just thinking this. Well, really I was wondering, "What will Paris look like after Mayor Hidalgo compared to what Seattle will look like after Mayor Harrell?" Then I grieved over the missed opportunities.

1000000% We, as a city, not only need to be aggressive on land use reform to help reduce CO2 emissions; but we also need to be far more proactive on managing the existing emissions impacts of climate change as they exist now - and will in the future

If the City Council moved forward with this it will reduce the cost of building and increase the number of units each lot can support. Big win

Allowing marijuana sales within city limits just makes sense. It increases tax revenue at a time sales tax revenue is continuing to plummet and we’re staring a withdrawal of state and federal funds

Now is not the time for state governments to withdraw and cut budgets. Washington’s government needs to increase revenue streams so that the impacts of the federal withdrawal are minimized as much as possible through new state programs

I’m extremely honored and humbled to be appointed to the Lynnwood City Council position No. 5. Thank you to the City Council for the faith you’ve shown in me and I’m excited to serve our city. Let’s get to work!

Definitely gonna get that housing affordability crisis under control.

“In the everyday movement of our country, you can make a difference.” Today, we honor Billy Frank Jr., a Nisqually tribal leader who fought against injustice, faced arrests, and championed Native rights. (1/2)

Community Transit has invested so much tax payer resources in the City of Lynnwood. Density around their high(er) frequency routes/corridors will ensure higher ridership numbers and a return on their investment

Scenes from the #WomensDay protest in Seattle

Seattle Times is apparently unaware that many, many people actually DID ride along the waterfront before the viaduct came down (and no, they did not ride ON the viaduct, what a bizarre conjecture)

Should I do a video in The District?

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

60 years ago, hundreds of brave activists marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge and were brutally attacked for the right to vote. Their courage became a defining moment in the fight for civil rights. Today, we honor them by recommitting ourselves to protecting and expanding voting rights for all.

If driving is so freeing and convenient, why is every driver one nanosecond away from total rage meltdown?

Lynnwood may not have a water front, but we have streets that are overly wide for their traffic loads that could we could make safe for bicyclist
