Sounders and Mariners game today. Met someone on the platform who couldn’t find parking near the stadium and drove home to take the light rail in. Train frequency with these expected high volumes? Every 16 minutes. This is why people don’t have any faith in Sound Transit. #Seattle

The Methow Valley is such a special place. The off road cycling here is world class, with an extensive network of well maintained trails. An amazing getaway, less than a 5h drive from Seattle. methowtrails.org/methow-trail...

There’s a certain economic advantage to shopping at Costco, but the long-term cost is losing our local groceries and shops. Not to mention that the extra time, stress, and the cost of impulse buys. At the end of the day, if we want 15 minute cities, we have to support businesses near us. #Seattle

Unspoken ally in the quest for better bike infrastructure in Seattle: Lime. The rollout of the Lime Gliders has been incredibly quick, and for the most part they’re keeping them running well. The business is rapidly expanding, because riding them is faster and easier than driving. #SEABikes

Tourists who fly or take a cruise to Seattle do not have cars. And tourism here is an $8.8b market… with a good but still flawed public transit system. Comparatively, an extra $30b for more car-free urban exploration, and to have events like the World Cup, seems like a good investment. #Seattle

Man, bike shops are such a neighborhood asset, always seem to be involved in community building events. But auto shops? It seems like there are 10x more of them in Seattle, and while I can’t deny the importance of what they do, I don’t see why they need to be smack dab in a residential area.

Driving math: My commute time is 25 mins, but the traffic and parking are stressful. Transit math: In my 40 minute commute, I get 20 minutes of walking, pick up coffee en route (saving a 5 minute trip), and spend 20 minutes reading a book. I arrive relaxed, and negative 5 mins in my time bank.

Cristian Roldan does it all. In this game alone: pressed the GK, covered CBs, short and long passes in build up, final passes, overlaps, underlaps, counterpressing, creating chances from regains, defending the box and important clearances, starting transitions. He's everywhere.

#USMNT is so much better with Roldan. Crazy it took them so long to realize that.

Walked home from the light rail the opposite sidewalk today. Seeing things from a slightly different perspective - it felt like I was taking a completely different route. In this world there is just something so valuable about having feet on the ground and really seeing things up close.

Trophy case complete 🏆 The Seattle Sounders were wounded and weakened, overlooked and undermanned, but they beat Lionel Messi and Inter Miami to win the 2025 Leagues Cup title. ✍️ @henrybushnell.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/658...

Unmatched.

WE ARE LEAGUES CUP CHAMPIONS!

I propose this as the next #Sounders Anthem : youtu.be/3V3rbs2r4V0?...

Thank you SDOT for keeping cyclists safe!

What a great thing to happen upon this going on on an evening bike ride!

What a difference nine months makes 💫

Knocking on History's Door ⚽️ We'll host Inter Miami CF in the Leagues Cup Final this Sunday at Lumen Field! 🎟️: sndrs.com/j1uc3ee7

Seattle has some great sandwich shops, but tbhe sandwich PCC is making with this tofu (Baba’s smoked tofu sandwich) is absolutely delicious. www.pccmarkets.com/sound-consum...

Can we stop people from speeding on Lake Washington Boulevard with speed humps? SDOT: We have speed humps at home Speed humps at home:

Mr. Aura, Himothy Thomas, Bad Man 🥶 Nothing but praise for Andrew following his shift on Wednesday night!

The Parks Department has lost all trust that they are capable of handling safety on Lake Washington Blvd with the seriousness and urgency needed and should hand the project over to SDOT at this point. The Board of Park Commissioners may want to look into how the Department blew this so badly.

Pumped about the awesome lineup for the Hillman City Block Party Aug 9! Beer garden, great food, and great music! Thank you to the awesome businesses that are making this happen.
