YIKES: The Seattle Times rejected a union request to not replace workers with AI saying "Journalism doesn't mean journalists." www.instagram.com/p/DX7Tkxpj55...

Update: a work order has been open here for wire theft since 2022. All I had to do was be slightly annoying over email, and Seattle City Light agreed to ask their work crew to schedule a repair over the next one or two weeks.

Ok it took me a second to interpret “mad libs” correctly… I should probably log off for a while

Ban cars.

it’s pretty amazing how living in Seattle has allowed me, a complete normie, to - commute by bike - visit state parks by bike(!!) - participate in community things like critical mass, bike tag, free group rides.

Really bro

@kccclaudia.bsky.social @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social Can the rider experience committee look into why the elevator at Capitol Hill station has been down for *over a month* for scheduled maintenance?

Scoop: Gov. Ferguson’s sign-off policy is creating bottlenecks at state agencies, delaying public updates — including on bridge repairs, federal shutdown impacts and vaccine guidance. www.axios.com/local/seattl... #waleg

Are any of my mutuals also planning on doing the Seattle super saunter?

The City is working with community to plan transportation projects in the neighborhoods surrounding the future Graham station. Your feedback guides future projects in your area! Take our transportation survey by May 17! tinyurl.com/GrahamSurvey2

This is a must-read. It’s a detailed proposal based on systems that work around the world, and doesn’t require reopening an EIS. There’s a path here toward building *all* of ST3, sooner and cheaper. But so far, Sound Transit leadership has refused to consider it, wanting instead to cut rail projects

Yo… Mason County, WA has a free Dial-A-Ride service that will take you anywhere in the county?! Should allow for some pretty amazing transit trekking opportunities on the Olympic peninsula.

Piled up outside the Bouldering Project 20+ bikes almost daily. The City of Seattle allocates way more space to 4 people with cars. Given the price of gas, maybe the City can allocate more space for people on 2 wheels and 2 legs.

I love da boat

Quiz: which of these options do you have to select to purchase a ferry ticket to travel within Kitsap county?

Governor, congresspeople, everyone in power—the region’s jewel city yearns for rail transit. We gotta be able to knock this out ASAP. Like at the expediency at which we can reopen a highway closed by a landslide. It is a political capital printing machine.

Nah not me, my biggest hope for xlake connection is that fewer Bellevue drivers will be in Seattle 😜

Today’s celebration has me daydreaming…

we must stop the cars

Flex posts? In my historic district? It’s more likely than you think

We can rebuild it. We have the technology.

In the newest episode of The War on Cars podcast, Vancouver’s ex chief planner makes direct comparisons to Seattle in the way I’ve been longing for 💛

Maybe urbanists should focus on organizing business employees?

Should be even easier to take a bike on the train now! :D
