I am proud to have earned the Urbanist's endorsement. Thank you so much @theurbanist.org

Proud to have been endorsed as a "Rising Star" by 50501 in my race to replace MGP here in WA03. We are in the GOTV portion of this race and we need your support now more than ever. Please take a moment to CLICK www.BH4C.win and make a DONATION TODAY!

🚨 Don't miss this crucial voting info! 🚨 Only one candidate in WA State's Congressional District 1 US Representative election truly stands out: Hunter Gordon. He boldly opposes AIPAC, unlike his opponent Suzan DelBene who is tied to them. Make an informed choice and vote with your conscience!

I do not take AIPAC money & am not beholden to Israel. I will never fund genocide and will fight fascism everywhere. www.electhunter.com

People say it would never work out, but I’ve had cats my whole life—they can’t be much different.

Clean house.

This article is all about how she wants to focus on affordability while she's still voting to give Israel however much more money they want to kill whoever they want. We need to never elect people like her again. If you're looking for another option, check out @huntergordon.bsky.social .

While the majority of Democrats did the right thing, @repdelbene.bsky.social chose to stand with AIPAC and Republicans to fund genocide. It's time for WA-01 to make a different choice. www.instagram.com/stories/hunt...

The City of Issaquah just notched another housing reform in its belt for 2026, illustrating how fast a council and a mayor aligned on the issue can move. Tonight's approved bill allows for self-certification of DADUs - making Issaquah the first city in the state to implement HB 1353.

My Jimothy Raccoon fan art. What a guy.

"I regret to tell you that the weight of your longing is a bit much for my (apparently hilarious) abbreviated spine. I only have so many vertebrae, and they simply cannot carry your aspirations to fix whatever is wrong with you all, which, I further regret to tell you, is A LOT."

Ballardians got a new swanky French pastry shop and Jimothy fame in one week. Life is good. Now just build light rail and Ballard will be the top neighborhood in Seattle:

Make the audience the fact-checkers instead of the "journalists." The magic of AI strikes again. 🤦 “A limitation is that OCR data obtained by LLMs may contain hallucinations, which in fact occurred ... one way to deal with this was to give our readers the opportunity to report mistakes via email.”

"He’s been having sexual relations with a goddess: Not a red flag, since refusing a deity might have led to death or something far worse: being called an ill-mannered guest."

Although the U.S. Postal Service can continue developing its mail-in ballot rules under President Donald Trump's court win last week, a previous federal court decision in Boston would keep any of those rules from affecting Washington's vote-by-mail system "through the November election.”

"I regret to tell you that the weight of your longing is a bit much for my (apparently hilarious) abbreviated spine. I only have so many vertebrae, and they simply cannot carry your aspirations to fix whatever is wrong with you all, which, I further regret to tell you, is A LOT."

We wanted to know if Mitch McConnell is still alive. So we stood outside a Daytona Beach Walmart and asked a man wearing a shirt with a graphic of Trump bursting out of an American flag.

Jimothy, the short-spined raccoon who’s taken Seattle and the world by storm, will now forever be immortalized not only in people’s minds, but also, on some of their skin.

You, a normal person: I wonder if I will catch a parasite. Me, an urbanist: I wonder if the parasite outbreak will finally kill Uptown’s remaining drive thru.

I'll be tuned into Renton later tonight.

Massive flub for the Wright Family to shut down the PacSci iMax right before The Odyssey hits theaters; Taxes need to be higher for these folks.

As the Puget Sound region sizzles under high temperatures this week, residents will be cranking up their air conditioners. Washington’s Legislature recently enacted a law that gives renters the right to install portable AC units, specifically during hot flashes like this one.

It could be worse.

Oh, Jimothy! For more on Ballard's own celebrity cryptid (and Starbucks upgrade) check out today's @citycastseattle.bsky.social episode with Needling Editor Lex Vaughn.

After leaving pet food out on the porch overnight in hopes St. Jimothy soon would be there, one Ballard family woke up this morning to find he not only came but left them presents.

"Please let me stand here - Jimothy took all my public attention away last week."

Of course our wealthy customers get extra perks. We can’t just hand out extra ranch dressing to everyone

Put on the hot dog suit, Ben.

imagine getting humiliated in front of the entire world by the random baby you bathed nearly 20 years ago

Reminding everyone again of my great Seattle Heuristic: "If the Seattle Times Ed. Board tells you to do one thing, you should probably do the other."

Washington @atg.wa.gov is one of the dozen AGs bringing this lawsuit to block MAGA megadonor David Ellison's Paramount from buying CNN (owned by Warner Bros.) in a Hollywood mega-merger. If we can keep winning, Ellison will have to start putting up a bunch of money he doesn't actually have on hand.

By oil paint, paper mosaic and tattoos, Seattle artists have found an adorable muse in Jimothy the raccoon, as a sudden everyman folk figure.

100% agree. I'd also like to add that the main complaint I see on the "bad" Seattle subreddit is "strawman!" but the joke's on them--I'VE BEEN USING ACTUAL NIMBY QUOTES FOR YEARS

"Please let me stand here - Jimothy took all my public attention away last week."

You know the phrase "gamble with your life"? Pending gaming commission approval, we have big news coming soon!

Despite what you may have seen on TV, our hippos do not appreciate it when you feed them marbles

1. As a journalist I sometimes record interviews. As required by law, I always ask for permission, but even if it weren't required, I think it is still appropriate to ask. This article is correct to call out the ongoing degradation of privacy norms, in this case in the name of "productivity."

U.S. Suffers Additional Casualties In War It Won Last Week

Seattle Locals... the lore of Jimothy is more wholesome than we ever imagined...

Infantino tries to get Trump to leave. “Nah I’m okay standing right here.”

LMAO

ABOLISH and prosecute ICE. Any Democratic politician who doesn’t agree with this position is not a serious person.

Finally! Time to get back to not watching baseball!
