Congratulations on acquiring Norway John Kruk.

African big game hunter feels so weird for 2026. Like reading about what a hoplite is up to.

It's been awhile since I've seen a list of local bookstores, and there's some unique ones I didn't know about. Check it out!

every time this admin publicly considers using the DPA to buy out a private company it should send chills down the spine of anyone considering investing in the space x IPO

Those pesky humans keep prioritizing things like helping the least among us rather than hating birth control, and you can't just reprogram them.

A new law set to take effect April 30 will declare an elected sheriff’s office vacant if this state commission strips them of certification.

Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources corroborating her reporting

SUCK IT, HATERS. The Pike Place pedestrian pilot is a success. pikeplacemarket.community.highbond.com/document/65a...

What a shameless grift. The President's son bragging about a $24 million Pentagon contract like it's a game show prize. Meanwhile, Trump is demanding a $1.5 TRILLION war budget so defense contractors get rich while you pay at the pump for his war with Iran. Obscene corruption.

Trump’s post describing Chinese & Indian immigrants as “gangsters with laptops” and calling India a “hellhole” is disgusting, insulting and rooted in white supremacy. Birthright citizenship is foundational to America—no amount of racism or xenophobia from Trump can change that.

Series 4 begins! We kick off the Nearly Monarchs with Æthelwold, nephew to Alfred the Great, a rival to his cousin Edward the Elder, and a challenge for Ali when it comes to names...

I am very tired of opportunistic tourists who wear their ignorance like a crowning achievement. They may have moved on, but we haven’t. I plan to haunt all these tourists like they visited public health & accidentally triggered an ancient curse in the form of a sweary virologist calling them liars.

Don't forget - we're still at the table with Starbucks right now. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS until the company finalizes a union contract with us! No contract, NO COFFEE ! nocontractnocoffee.org

The reaction to bus lanes on Denny is revealing. Everyone who goes near that corridor knows perfectly well giving cars the whole road doesn't work. It's a parking lot half the day. Drivers aren't mad because this will make it slower, they're mad someone else might get to move faster than them.

Planting 1,000 trees, repairing 17,000 potholes, building 30 blocks of new sidewalks, and so much more. Local funding sources like the Seattle Transportation Levy did a lot to improve your city's streets last year: https://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2026/04/23/seattle-levy-recap-video-2025/

Usually Thursday is the slow day. But this year at the annual free health clinic hosted at the Seattle Center, people started lining up the morning before, organizers said.

The MAGA contagion infecting our local hospitals is spreading. A new @publiccitizen.bsky.social report shows that the # of WA hospitals in danger of closing due to MAGA Congress gutting health care funding has INCREASED from 14 to now 22.

As is tradition, I will be at @phoenixcomics.bsky.social in Seattle next Saturday from 12pm to 4pm for Free Comic Book Day! There will be free stuff, books for sale, and I'm happy to sign whatever you'd like. See you there. shop.phoenixseattle.com/blogs/news/f...

We have noticed a very pixelated version of this image kicking around. Here's a better quality one. Were you there for this photoshoot on 2nd Ave nearly 20 years ago?

This photo broke me. I will never forgive anyone who voted for this.

Also, man drug prices are up and fewer people have insurance to help pay for it.

cc: All the people who said we were being hysterical when we said the SCOTUS was going to kill pregnant people.

Kitsap County, if we let this man become sheriff he will absolutely collaborate with ICE to terrorize and kidnap our neighbors

So TV traffic reporters just...do their segments from their car now? Incredible.

One more example of why we can’t trust Trump’s FBI with a clean extension of FISA 702. Kash Patel will spy on anyone he wants revenge on. Get a damn warrant.

States will have to bear more of the SNAP program’s costs under the new budget law. They could respond by making it harder for people to qualify. “My fear is that some states will choose not to operate SNAP at all,” one researcher said.

Spokane City Council bans new drive thrus, gas stations, and car washes on most major arterials www.inlander.com/news/spokane...

It's 2 AM. Republicans are pulling an all-nighter to shovel $70 billion at ICE—and can't be bothered to spend a cent to save health care for the millions of Americans who can't afford insurance. Shame on every one of them. I'm voting NO.

On Earth Day in 2022, President Joe Biden spoke in Seattle, announcing an executive order that created the first-ever national assessment of nature. Two and a half years later, President Donald Trump rescinded the effort on his first day in office.

Happy Earth Day to all the Earths out there.

The @theathletic.com claims Lynn invented Claw-dia but the true story is that one absolutely deranged fan (me) invented and has been building that brand for the best US keeper for years. Please put in the papers that I am annoyed. A thread... #nwsl www.nytimes.com/athletic/721...

BREAKING: We've crossed 40,000 completed FAFSAs and WASFAs. At this point last year, we had 34,000. If you're a parent of a high school senior, check in with your student — every family should take advantage of this money for college or job training.

The incident remains under investigation, and the Washington State Patrol report indicates charges may be pending.

President Trump plastered his giant face on our National Park passes so I asked the Secretary of the Interior: Has Trump even visited a National Park since he was sworn in? Too busy golfing, I guess.

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

Taking my bike out shortly, but definitely also packing a raincoat.

I can't believe that I pay actual American dollars to watch the Mets lose every night.

There is no Dana

ICYMI: Seattle officials are considering a moratorium on data centers after more than 60,000 people sent them letters demanding the City stop four companies eyeing Seattle for five new data centers. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/seattle...

what if they made the entire administration out of katrina response

On Tuesday, the nine-member King County Council unanimously approved a motion to review and sign a letter asking Wilson to resign from his elected duties “effective immediately.”

There are orcas northbound in Central Puget Sound right now. Currently between Vashon Island + Blake Island, so if you're in West Seattle or Bainbridge/Kitsap keep your eyes on the water and let us know if you see anything! discord.gg/ap8m2dMQXK

Well here’s some news: Blazing Eye Sees All won the Oregon Book Award for nonfiction last night. A win for journalism, a win for never giving up. bookshop.org/p/books/blaz...

Canada needs healthcare workers, but there just aren't enough of them in the country, so they've ramped up their effort to recruit medical professionals from other countries, especially the United States, and they're seeing quite a bit of success.

Can one (1) California Democrat be normal?

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

Washington law enforcement officers are way behind completing deescalation and mental health training required under the state’s marquee police accountability law.

Tacoma leaders are asking voters to put tax dollars toward repairs to sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and other changes to arterials. From our partners at Northwest Public Broadcasting.
