Governor Ferguson is rolling out his proposed state transportation budget tomorrow at a WSDOT headquarters in Lacey, and just for fun I looked up how long it would take for me to get there and back on public transit: at least six hours.

If we want to create a more affordable, livable Seattle, we need to design for *reducing* car volumes. This is the only way to meet our climate, public health, vision zero, accessibility and housing goals. Our fight to design highway on-ramps with LESS capacity epitomizes why it's still hard.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

Hey Seattle City Council, here's a idea: What if (and stick with me here for moment) instead of spending the next four years working as hard as you can to make Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson fail, you work WITH her to try to do what's best for the people of Seattle. She's a reasonable person. Talk to her.

Get your ballot to a drop box + How to print a replacement ballot or registerĀ in-person
See the interactive map via King County Elections. It may be too late to rely on the post office to mail your ballot ahead of the November 4 election, so anyone with a ballot still lying around should fill it out and get it to a ballot drop box (King, Pierce, Snohomish) by 8 p.m. Tuesday.
