Okay hear me out: Make Curby a landmark.

What if we ran a pilot bus and freight route from the west side?

Hey SDOT here's my alternative proposal for 1st Ave

Charts like this make me wonder why we distinguish between transit and pedestrian modes. The quality of the pedestrian experience is proportional to the quality of the transit experience.

Governor Ferguson's support of an income tax that will reap revenue in 2029 should excite Washingtonians; his all-cuts budget should not. Threatened funding reductions to healthcare and higher ed are why we need the Well Washington Fund (HB 2100) to pass. www.thestranger.com/guest-editor...

A few months ago, @organizewithshaun.bsky.social held a town hall to discuss taxing the rich ahead of announcing the Well Washington Fund proposal. During this meeting, he predicted we would see renewed interest in a state income tax as a means to distract from the direct need to tax the rich now.

YOUR HELP WANTED: we're working to redevelop the Occidental Ave S right-of-way between S King St and S Royal Brougham Way. Taking our survey today helps shape the project: bit.ly/3MQDrin Our goal is to complete a near-term improvement project by Spring 2026 in advance of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

I thought Ferguson was all about austerity to reduce the budget shortfall but apparently he's completely fine with acquiring more debt? Please someone explain to me why we can't take funds we already have for new highways and instead use them to fix our existing roads.

1/🧵 2025 was a transformational year for walking, biking, rolling, and transit in Seattle. After years of delays, long-promised projects finally opened—thanks to sustained community advocacy. Here is a look at what opened this year 👇 www.seattlegreenways.org/get-involved...

How out of touch do you have to be to think that this is some kind of profound ambitious goal that anyone wants? Put down 600 miles of rail instead.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Rail $395 million Public transit $753 million Debt $1.7 billion Highway upgrades $5.3 billion someone who is good at transportation planning please help me budget this. my state is dying

I stopped going to Stevens and Crystal a few years ago because of how bad the parking situation is. I would go back if I could take a train or even a bus that got me there reliably.

If I was a mayor, or ran a city’s transportation dept, I’d be meeting frequently with the local police chief/deputy chiefs, explaining the MANY public interest reasons why we want as many people as possible riding bikes, and how their approach to bike theft, ticketing, etc makes a BIG DIFFERENCE.

Another elected leader, Port Commissioner Toshiko Grace Hasegawa has now also put out a statement about Allie's death. www.facebook.com/reel/1142385...

Councilmember Lin requests community’s help after hit-and-run on Beacon Hill council.seattle.gov/2025/12/16/c...

I've had conversations on behalf of Aurora Reimagined Coalition with at least 3 different people on Wilson's transition team in the past couple weeks who reached out to us first. That's more than we had with Mayor Harrell's office in the last 4 years despite our repeated attempts of outreach.

In response to a question about considering cutting funding for highway expansion projects to fill the budget shortfall, @juliareedwa.bsky.social doesn't want to spend another dollar on highway expansion until we address our existing backlog of maintenance of our transportation infrastructure.

Yikes. Heres the video (and the source, Honeyhole’s TikTok): www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrb52o8s/ Worth noting that this street has a “protected” bike lane, though these stores are close to the corner/intersection. We need to do something about violent drivers in our cities.

“If the Messiah were born today, we would absolutely want him arriving in a way that minimizes the impact on our single-family neighborhoods.”

Just another day being late to everything on the route 40 bus.

This crap just got personal. ICE detained our friend and contractor just after he had left our house. He was stopped on Aurora Avenue in N. Seattle. He has a severely disabled teenage son and his wife can't leave their house. As responsible and honest as they come. And they impounded his car! Yuck

NIMBY in my neighborhood doesn't want to look at "big ugly boxy" townhomes on our street but seems to have no problem looking at the dead cars parked in the street in front of his house.

If parking in a no parking zone is benign, why is it designated as a no parking zone at all. I guess anyone is free to park anywhere now? Who determines what's benign?

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

July 2024 after a string of fatal crashes: "It's the summer weather." December 2025 after a string of fatal crashes: "It's the winter weather." I don't know maybe our road design just isn't safe?

Between Moore and Hollingsworth, looks like you can simply lie on the campaign trail about your positions.

Official vote Yes: Strauss, Hollingsworth, Kettle, Rivera, Nelson No: Rinck, Lin, Saka Extremely disappointed in Hollingsworth for her lack of integrity.

what is a SILVERADO TEXAS EDITION doin in seattle washington

Washington State needs organization like this. Billions are being poured into highway expansion while we face a massive budget deficit and deferred maintenance of our existing infrastructure.

Sound Transit uses the Coca-Cola naming convention: - Coca-Cola - Diet Coke - Coke Zero (????) - Cherry Coke - Vanilla Coke Sound Transit: - Federal Way Downtown - Downtown Redmond Why can't we have consistency???

Where we are going, the whole road is a sidewalk.

Excited to hear that Seattle e-cargobike freight/delivery initiative has launched. Pumped our new mayor will be pre-disposed to wanting it to succeed, Go @seattledot.bsky.social and thank you for your help, @c40cities.bsky.social #ClimateInfluence will be big. sdotblog.seattle.gov/2025/11/20/s...

Washington state's busiest bicycle and pedestrian highway doesn't even have lights on it. Can you imagine if interstate 5 through Seattle had no lights and was pitch black at 4:30 pm.

First bus ride with a 1 week old today.

I underestimated how much worse of an experience it would be to push a stroller around my neighborhood without sidewalks.

We could have built this along SR 99 are you kidding me

The School Traffic Safety Committee continues to attract the best people and IMO set the standard that all other modal boards should strive to meet.

Tomorrow is #BlackFridayParking! Join us in highlighting why costly mandatory parking requirements are unnecessary by showcasing all the excess parking on the busiest shopping day of the year. Take some pics and post them with the #BlackFridayParking tag! parkingreform.org/2025/11/19/b...

Man, every year the assessed land value for my home continues to climb and it's at like $800k now; almost double what I paid for my house 8 years ago and it's barely 9000sqft or ~0.2 acre total. If my land was assessed like Broadmoor's private park it would be at just over $15k.

You love to see it.

A fitting moment to bring back this old transit meme. However they’re powered—gas, hydrogen, electricity, or driverless—leaning on cars instead of investing in quality public transit is still a poor long-term strategy.

This is why commercial activity should be legal everywhere. A taco truck turns sleepy North Berkeley station into a thriving nightlife area. And no major costs for brick and mortar!

@fixthel8.bsky.social! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social unequivocally committed to bus lanes on Denny!

The real lesson these kids are learning is how to bypass restrictions and technical controls. I say this as an infosec professional and from experience as a former child.
