Was hoping to make it 6 more hours but I think the jet lag has won.

Also, a reminder that the antidote to hopelessness is community. Join a community action or rapid response group. If there isn't one where you live, start one. Get to know your neighbors and be there for them. Find your people and hold on tight to one another.

Belmont and Roy now has an all way stop! @csgreenways.bsky.social has been asking @seattledot.bsky.social to make this awkward angle intersection safer. maps.app.goo.gl/w8mAhGssmDpS...

Seattle when?

Legislature needs to just consolidate the cities of the Puget Sound.

The Disney+ et. al. websites are quickly turning into the same broken mess that telecom sites are.

Mamdani seems like a prog willing to ruffle feathers to pass good government reforms. Dean Preston was a prog who was unwilling to do this Like 90% of local elected Dems are mod Dems unwilling to ruffle feathers.

I do think it should be a priority of WA to consolidate conurbation suburban cities and special districts within UGAs into sizable governments. Independent local gov serving 6k, 3k, 20k, etc people is very inefficient and leads to nonsense patchworks of arbitrary disparities

"There's a vaccine for cervical cancer" and yet we haven't introduced it to the mandatory regiment in Washington State. Virginia, Rhode Island, Hawaii, and DC have done it. It's time.

I feel attacked.

Seattle used to fund so much transit service until covid (and jenny durkan) In 2019, almost 75% of the city lived within walking distance of a bus every 10 mins or better. Today, it's only like 50%! Time to get the buses running again!

RIP to The Enforcer, Kenny Easley, a Seahawks Legend and one of the best safeties to ever play the game: shwks.com/muf6rwu1

Just close all of 1st Ave at this point.

"If you have a water view, Bruce Harrell might be for you!"

Katie Wilson has been elected Seattle's next mayor www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

LETS GOOO

To restore public trust, Seattle city government needs a renewed commitment to transparency #SEAbikes #Seattle

Expecting a lame duck Harrell to completely screw the budget by the way.

The biggest potential upside for colonizing Mars is that it's our civilization's last, best chance to get one set of rail gauge/electrification standards and one system bicycle wheel sizing measurements in place.

this is really what gets me. these guys have been so devoid of a single creative thought. like a full on far right conservative would at least show up with some passion lol. the council chambers just looked like a shitty bar where everyone is drinking alone and scowling.

Also peak schadenfreude that Bruce won’t get to do arguably the only thing that mattered to him personally as mayor, which is to open the World Cup

Y’all, Seattle Bluesky has the juice.

Wilson: 133,469 Harrell: 133,378 Total Votes: 272,041

Ah yes, one thing the electorate adores is the inside baseball intricacies of the Senate.

Sad News to Report: Hall of Famer player, coach, civic icon and humanitarian Lenny Wilkens has passed away at the age of 88. His statue was unveiled in front of Climate Pledge Arena in June. komonews.com/news/local/s...

The most corrupt administration in American history.

Katie at 48.86% and Bruce at 50.74% after the drop

Cool to see government organizations using the DNS usernames correctly.

Big oof.

The thing about columns like Westneat's: they treat the idea of Seattle having a middle-of-the-road mayor who just muddles along and resists the idea of bold transformation as the city's natural resting state. Anytime voters express interest in changing that, it's the fault of an external force.

Let Dickson drop kick a field goal at this point, why not.

Bruce Harrell's parks district renewal funds one hundred (100) tree plantings per year.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell has made 39 official announcements in the two months leading up to next week's election, compared to 21 for the same period last year. This is not considered a use of city resources for campaigning despite the very obvious ramp-up just before the election.

I do think we have a pretty good chance of turning gambling into a genuine popular moral crusade 19th century style, because it's becoming a social evil that's destroying young men's lives in particular but also making sports coverage really shit.

Wild how normalized the words "safe parking lot for unhoused schoolchildren" have become in this country.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Every Seattle sports franchise needs a “why the fuck would you do that” postseason moment

How do you not walk him I do not understand

The epistemic isolation of New York Times editors needs to be studied

Council and our “experienced” mayor live in a fantasyland with tax payer dollars.

Washington State and the Seattle region are doing way more to prepare for 5 weeks of World Cup than Medicaid cuts and National Guard deployment.

Seattle city council doing their best to make new Libertarians every day.

Don't worry y'all, the guy who is going to hold firm on Trump is... *check notes*... also breaking the law.

I don't understand why U.S. reporters so regularly seem to let politicians get away with 'I haven't seen that' about stuff a) they obviously know and b) is directly relevant to their job. Did they sign some kind of agreement never to ask a follow-up question?
