You dont have a low enough opinion of the intellect of drivers example 85972684 You know she is going to get a slap on the wrist at most too

NO, BUT GUYS, URBANISTS SHOULD LOVE MOTORCYCLES

San Francisco if it were cheaper to build but everyone ate glue

The World Cup is about celebrating exotic host nation cultures

This is what it looks like when you win elections 👇 #Seattle #LWB

GUYS!! When I said LA should build freeway median express buses, THIS ISNT WHAT I MEANT

Vote for @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social and @ronpdavis.bsky.social ‼️

Why is Futurewise always talking about stacked flats? A 🧵 (1/5)

Remember this every time someone says urbanists should support AVs

The West Seattle-Ballard automated proposal is so insanely poorly thought out it honestly feels like one of those scam emails that intentionally misspells things to select for a gullible audience Oh we will save $15bn by reducing platform length and slightly narrowing tunnels...

King county Metro operates a fast, frequent, and reliable network that is never on time

I want to extend my congratulations to the other American city making revolutionary investments in high capacity transit and I want to say, as always, WEST COAST BEST COAST

CAAAASCADIA GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ALL OTHER COUNTRIES ARE RAN BY PEDOPHILES

This is also an undercount, ST is still adding more data in for Q1 26 as they conduct an audit (they sent the data they had, not the final data) Currently the YoY growth is about 25% as of the latest drop for January+February (they havent dropped March to their portal but it will come in abt 15-20%)

At long last I wrote a new article. East Link Connections feels like it was designed in 2019, not 2026 As a result it fails to effectively leverage the opportunity presented by the Crosslake opening to expand service equitably and efficiently open.substack.com/pub/harlande...

My parents' dog LOOOOOOVES the boat

In 2024 I had to help organize to stop Seattle Public Schools from closing as many as 21 schools. In 2026 I have to help organize to stop Sound Transit from gutting voter approved rail lines. What is wrong with Democratic governance in this city and this region? Where are the leaders?

We have the chud suburbanite baseball fan vote nothing can stop link, it is uniting political factions, it is the white and blue train mamdani

These guys hate the idea of women and children getting government help so much they will actively sacrafice America's future and prosperity to make them suffer Actual death cult shit

Oh god, one of my posts got picked up by the lib spam accountiverse In this house we believe liberal collaboration with capital and fascists are why our country is dying, not progressives

To the neo-liberal, the left is the ememy, not the fascist right

From inside the Seattle "war zone"

Link has--ever since the Northgate Link Extension--put up weekend numbers better than the entire BART system You can see the dichotomy between a system designed with people in mind and a system designed with cars in mind

The gotcha journalism and mindless "Mayor, what do you say to the people who want to know ___" questions TV reporters use to dominate press conferences, along with post-press conference ambushes for soundbite one-on-ones like KOMO's, are not helpful to understanding what's happening and why.

Gonna make "white female mamdani" into slang for pure, uncut cocaine

heartwarming: sunbelt city builds park under giant, polluting, loud, freeway

Is this the next scandal in Katie Wilson's mayoral term? Katie Wilson who was fined by the seec for illegal campaign donations from her parents for childcare is now going to make childcare cheaper for everyone specifically to help herself. www.king5.com/article/news...

The Abundance movement often points to environmental groups as the obstacles to building. But who actually files the lawsuits blocking projects? It’s not environmental groups. It’s been lawyered-up HOAs protecting property values all along. Regulation by litigation is the problem.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson plans to give all SPS students free meals, while expanding the hours and availability of the city's free preschool program.

My doctor gonna be deeply confused and mildly concerned when I change my refill location to MI

Oh my god finally, this has been a LONG time coming I wish there were a way to integrate amtrak tracking but I think that would be a step too far in complexity for a relatively small reward

The insane daily mail article already being used in my homework

‘“Just like they don’t want us to have guns, they don’t want us to have ballrooms,” Clive said as he cocked his rifle. “Well they can take our ballrooms way from our cold, dead, white gloved hands.”’

I think this description can be shortened to max thinks this is "degenerate art" The capacity to recognize that art you dislike still has artistic value and that all art has some level of moral value is important if you want to avoid reactionary modes of thought

This is very unserious. Urbanism isnt about reducing parking spaces, it isn't about changing what drives the car. Urbanism is about reducing the public space given over to private use. Every piece of data we have shows that AVs make traffic worse meaning they need MORE public space

One of the greatest headlines ever made

Loud fucking motorcycle just went down my street and set a car alarm off These things are absolutely absurd. That Squidtips guy and all the other motorcyclists trying to jam their way into the urbanist movement trying to gaslight us into thinking this isnt a problem piss me off

Claims ST has a problem of crush loads, posts photo that is FAR from crush loaded ST should probably run 3 car trains on the 2 Line and a mix of 3 and 4 on the 1 Line, this is just a really funny way to make that point

The arrogance and petulant entitlement of drivers on full display After a century of them making transit riders third class citizens, it is an affront to them when we make the small step of dictating our needs and elevating ourselves to the status of second class citizens in one small place

I'm so incredibly happy we are finally getting bus lanes on Denny. The 8 is one of the most important routes in the system, it is time to treat it that way. Now lets continue making it better @nicksattele.bsky.social @mayorofseattle.bsky.social @alexis4seattle.bsky.social

Congratulations to @fixthel8.bsky.social, @seattletru.bsky.social, @streetsalliance.bsky.social, and everyone else who advocated for the City to roll out the red carpet!

I love playing the game "guess when the route saw a substantial increase in service" Also, keep in mind, the ridership increase of the route doesn't tell the whole story. Higher frequencies attract new riders and existing riders take more trips. This means other routes benefit through the...

It is ABSURD that there is no SR 509 STX route and no planned SR 509 Stride planned A Stride Line with freeway median stations at Orcas, Cloverdale, 112th, 128th, 136th, and Burien TC would be a gamechanger for transit connectivity in SW Seattle So long as we are extending SR 509...

I'm on my mission to civilize (teaching men how to dress)

MEN! STOP BUTTONING THE BOTTOM BUTTON OF YOUR SUIT It looks like shit, look how it is pulling awkwardly at the fabric? also if you say "you can if you want" to avoid accepting being wrong, I agree, you can look terrible. However theyre not designed to be buttoned that way

I just overheard two aliens on the ferry "I got it from this thing they call a Vending Machine"
