Besides this… great day in Downtown! @typewriteralley.bsky.social is right, this space is so nice (and pretty busy for Sunday afternoon!)

Gotta love almost getting run over by someone turning left and not paying attention at all because they were clearly on their phone. Thankfully, I was paying attention and moved out of the way.

Isn’t Sweet Alchemy in Chophouse Row? … which is pedestrianized?!

One interesting thing with Anthropic taking space in Dexter Yard is they could eventually create a mini campus and finally get Mercer Blocks built?!

Traffic so bad on the Burke I almost ran into another biker :/

Funny that the pic they used has no cars in it. Looks much better imo!

I'll be the first to admit that we're not in a great spot and have to do better, but I'm still pretty optimistic that we can bring light rail all the way to Ballard in the next 13 years.

Little slice of NYC in the city

I do genuinely appreciate Ryan’s rationalism here amidst all the other noise.

If you’re running a survey like this then I don’t think you “understand that we need more housing.”

Seattle is so back!!! (Because we have cheaper parking?!)

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Good

Ok this is funny

Good!

Lmao

I think Fremont is going to survive this :)

My Space Needle

Pike Place stunning 🤩

FWIW… rest of the city looking really good. Maybe that’s the compromise? Don’t love that tbh.

This place >>>

Really struggling with understanding the opposition to car free Lake Washington blvd on weekends? I’m pretty sure every home and parking lot is still accessible to cars… and all the people who have waterfront property now have a much quieter street since cars are so loud! Can someone help explain?

Really frustrating to see the situation at 12th and Jackson… hard to imagine it ever getting better if we continue with our current appeasement approach. ☹️

Same question re: Aurora...

Someone should update this :) cc: @spottnik.bsky.social en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle...

the gentrification sign lol

A career land use nerd chairing the land use committee, love this for the NIMBYs. Give em hell Eddie

The Wilson administration and the Seattle City Council are starting to get on the same page around what it means to go much bigger in the next phase of the city's growth plan. Despite 'faster' right in the name, the process could stretch into 2028. Story: www.theurbanist.org/katie-wilson...

Since when did Spring & Western have a bike lane?? Neat! @seattledot.bsky.social

Why does this get shutdown but not the random stands that show up weekend nights?

Whoever picked the alignment for the Downtown Bellevue Transit Tunnel should be fired.

grrrrr

I think all but the Roastery (which was the last to close) all have new businesses in them now?

My criticism here is they really should have an attendant like they do in Europe. Much more sustainable long term.

Uh oh narrative buster!!! (we are SO back!)

very fun!

❤️❤️❤️

Is Sound Transit harassing us here?

Design review?

It's a good morning for some colorful new bike lane barriers in Belltown.

Roses are red Bus lanes are too Now, so is Denny Way West of 2nd Avenue Thank you @seattledot.bsky.social for this Mother's Day gift!

Hey @seattledot.bsky.social ... almost all the flexposts are gone on the University Bridge!

KC Metro’s lack of recovery has to be because of Light Rail expansion, right?

Sound Transit has done a good job over the past few years on beefing up security across the system 👍

The new Barnes & Nobel downtown is lovely (though wish it had more windows and a cafe). Was packed!

My view is we should always have light rail under continuous expansion…
