Wouldn’t be surprised to see Starbucks leave Seattle at some point thinking that’ll help their bottom line

The Seattle City Council just UNANIMOUSLY approved the Roots to Roofs affordability bonus pilot, giving density bonuses to community based orgs, including the Seattle social housing developer. I did not expect a 9-0 vote on this one.

Today Interim Executive Braddock will release her proposed two-year county budget. The big thing I'm watching for is whether it scales back King County Metro bus electrification projects. Without doing that (in the absence of a major new revenue source) Metro is looking at a fiscal cliff in two yrs.

10+ years of advocacy paid off! 🚲🎉 Beacon Hill now has new protected bike lanes linking downtown to the South End — a huge win for safer streets, community persistence, and better connections. Big thanks to SDOT + all the neighbors who made this happen.

To me there’s something elitist and out of touch about being concerned about trees when people are living in the streets or paying half of their income for rent.

Make it One Seattle, full of trees, in Comprehensive Plan | Editorial
A street tree study shows planting in the right of way won't get Seattle to its goal of 30% tree canopy. The city must protect trees in the Comprehensive Plan.

We ended our legislative session with big wins for transit: We allocated billions for regional rail & high speed rail, authorized a Bay Area regional revenue measure to strengthen transit & passed SB 79 to allow more homes near transit. Transit makes the world better. Let’s improve & protect it.

WHAT IF WE HAD POLITICAL WILL? Transportation dollars are scarce, but a new progressive mayoral administration can make a big impact without breaking the bank. Here’s my list. 🧵
