Mayor Wilson yesterday delayed the removal of an ecampment in Ballard, which is notable. Also notable: The city has removed more than 100 smaller encampments and RVs since Jan. 4.

More good news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 7.2% in October! Or to quote the PDA's own words the market has had "exceptional sales performance of our tenants." (
