Hey folks, we're here at tonight's meeting of the Shoreline City Council. Tonight's agenda: discussion of amendments to the 2025-'26 final biennial budget, and discussion of the 2025 Shoreline Police Service Report. Shoreline has budgeted $36.5M toward police, about 24.33% of the total budget.

We're live at Shoreline City Council! Two items of interest here tonight, but neither are "final action" items. First, the city will discuss an ordinance seeking to ban civil immigration enforcement from city property. Final approval would come on April 27. shoreline.granicus.com/MetaViewer.p...

Tonight! Shoreline City Council looks into two big items. - Removing a racially restrictive covenant on property they own. - An ordinance to allow for a speed camera outside a school that has 1000 speeding drivers every day, just during pickup/dropoff! shoreline.granicus.com/GeneratedAge...

I posted about this yesterday but I like how every “fastest growing counties” list is like 1. Gigasprawl, Texas 2. Gigasprawl, Texas 3. Gigasprawl, Arizona 4. link light rail infill TOD, Washington 5. Gigasprawl, Texas

Had to parent this morning so I'm finally free to ride the 2 Line opening and not boarding the first train into Shoreline North Station is weird.

I am very proud of my city and my colleagues on Shoreline City Council. We are unanimously standing with our community and protecting our most vulnerable residents. shoreline.granicus.com/MetaViewer.p...

One last thing: wanted to clarify that all three of Roberts's changes went through. Robertson's change struck the language of "working with community members and organizations," and that the city will still work on signage about being a welcoming community. bsky.app/profile/ospr...

Hey folks, @jdmendez.com is at the Shoreline City Council meeting tonight! A few interesting matters are on the agenda this evening, including a resolution on the city's response to federal immigration agents in Shoreline and discussion on speed cameras in school zones.

Big night tonight at ShorelIne City Council shoreline.granicus.com/GeneratedAge... 8a is a statement of support for the immigrant community in the face of ICE aggression. This was brought forth by a grassroots group a few weeks ago and they are here in force tonight. 9a is what I'm here for[cont]

Change is possible: Seattle's Westlake Ave Trail before/after The super useful Westlake Trail was carved out of a publicly owned parking lot. It was absurdly controversial at the time, with the loudest opponents being a “super yacht” marina. Now it’s loved and no one wants to go back.

One of my favorite YouTubers ended a video with an apology for not uploading as much and saying he had at least 5 videos that should be out in the next few months. That was 7 years ago and he hasn't uploaded since.

I'll be dropping in on local city councils around the region tonight and tomorrow as new elected officials get sworn in and new mayors and council presidents get elected from within their ranks. Councilmember Betsy Robertson was just elected mayor of Shoreline. Eben Pobee was elected deputy mayor.

Tonight! The Shoreline City Council inducts its newest member Valarie Snyder, picks a Mayor and Deputy Mayor and probably some other stuff! shoreline.granicus.com/GeneratedAge...

Urbanism is really about being able to yell stuff at people from the comfort of your home instead of your car.

yeah

do lower speed limits make roads safer?

We're coming up on the last week of November, which will be the final week of the Shoreline Food Drive! The Shoreline Tool Library is just one of many drop-off sites, and we've been seeing some wonderful support from the community 🥫🫶

This would be a fantastic use of the old information booth space in Westlake Station.

This morning transit advocates from around Central Puget Sound gathered together to bring one message to the Sound Transit board: "build the damn trains." This afternoon the board is holding its first retreat since the announcement of the $30-$40 billion shortfall through 2046.

I-90 light rail update: before the end of the month, 2 Line testing will start extending up to Lynnwood, with out-of-service trains running in between normal trains. Riders won't be able to board, but this will be a preview of what 4 minute headways north of downtown look like.

the primary lesson from tonight is that dems should run more people who aren’t so old that they’re literally melting

Tonight! Once again, I'm live-posting the Shoreline City Council meeting. This time from my bedroom because I'm still sort of working and it's complicated, life's really busy for me right now, don't worry about it. On the agenda for tonight: shoreline.granicus.com/GeneratedAge...

Today was the last day of the Shoreline (WA) Farmer's Market so I hauled home the bike valet stand. 2 banners, 100 feet of mesh plastic fencing and a bike rack, plus the bin of stuff on the front.

U.S. Housing Market has reached its most unaffordable level in history 🚨🚨

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.” Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

Uneven Payouts, Unclear Plans; North King Opioid Funds local.interurbancanopy.news/p/uneven-pay... As Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Bothell, and Lynnwood accept opioid epidemic payouts, how much each city receives and how the funds will be spent varies widely.

I’m proud to work with my colleagues who are bold, inspired leaders and I’m honored to represent an amazing community that is committed to directly addressing the challenges of equity, affordability, and sustainability.

It's official!
