Another great Saturday morning commute thanks to Lake Washington Boulevard bicycle weekends. It was so peaceful. Even at 6:30am, there were people out walking, running, and biking.

Best commute ever thanks to the expanded #Bicycleweekends in Seattle!

If the sounders hadn’t dropped what should have been 4 straightforward points in the last two games, we’d be sitting at 25pts with 1 game in hand on the Caps and 2 on San Jose. A win against SJ would have put us 1 point away from shield frontrunner status with a game in hand.

Omg take the shot Jesus!

Please bring back Captain Nouhou

There is so much latent demand for bike infrastructure. Build bike lanes on our most dangerous streets. Put actual diverters on Greenways. Continue to invest in transit. The people of Seattle want to get around outside of cars, because driving sucks here. So let’s make the alternatives easier.

This is huge: Katie Wilson's office just announced a significantly expanded schedule for Bicycle Weekends on Lake Washington Boulevard, after years of the program being stifled under Bruce Harrell. In addition to more weekends, we're getting our long holiday weekends back.

Go Sounders! Doing way better than I ever expected on the road with tired and injured players. Once we’re back at home, with Pedro, and have concacaf behind us, we’re moving 🆙

👏 Seattle Sounders Paul Arriola will be donating to the American Cancer Society for every goal and assist he scores this season and wearing the names of survivors on his under shirt. Arriola revealed the shirt against the Vancouver Whitecaps after scoring in Concacaf Champions Cup.

59% year over year is pretty impressive. I honestly think that the content on the Apple streaming services are amazing. The commentary and personalities are great, and it’s just so accessible. I hope MLS sees the gem they have here. www.mlssoccer.com/news/mls-ope...

#Sounders what happened to the music at Lumen? Scarves up without hendrix? Is this another budget cut?!

I think the thing that makes me most uncomfortable about American car culture is the fear it instills, above all in other drivers. “Defensive driving” = a constant worry about being a victim to a slight mistake made by a distracted driver. And the way people justify speeding, saying that it’s….

They used to. The Republican St stairs used to connect Cascade and Capitol Hill. Then I-5 came a long and dropped a concrete curtain through the city. Today only the top 1/3 remain

Can you believe that most cities in the US and Canada, with only a few exceptions, allow cars to turn right despite having a red light?

If all of these people had driven individual cars, it would have filled an entire parking lot and then some. Public transport is a aving carbon, reducing traffic, and getting people closer to the game. People are showing up, but Seattle needs to do its part now to improve the rider experience.

So far my #weekwithoutdriving has been successful! I’m commuting by walking and taking the Link as I usually do when the days get shorter, but I’ve been inspired to try out the Seattle bike locker system to see if I can incorporate my bike!

A young rescued river otter is swimming free again! Found orphaned along a roadside, she was brought to the Zoo for care before continuing her recovery at Center Valley Animal Rescue with other two male rescued otters. Last week, all three were released back into the wild!

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.
