The Torrent are listing their Bluesky account first among their social media accounts. I believe this is a Choice.

Last day for West Seattle station area planning survey!

Here’s the line at International District Station. There was just a cheer, so I think a 2 line train arrived.

In one of the biggest applause lines of the morning, Dow said light rail would get to Ballard, West Seattle, Tacoma and Everett (as promised in ST3 ballot measure).

The full 2 Line is OPEN

Why you may want to bike to the crosslake light rail opening Saturday + Group will bike along the new route #SEAbikes #Seattle

It looks like there’s a bike cage at Judkins Park Station! I love the one at Roosevelt.

All geared up and ready to roll - see you Saturday, Seattle! Learn more: https://www.soundtransit.org/crosslake

It’s official: we cleaned up London’s air 184 years sooner than predicted. The capital now meets legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution. And you can feel the difference across our city.

The light rail across the lake will finally connect TOMORROW! there's gonna be a big party! 🎊✨ Find us at 🚉 South Bellevue station 🚉 9a-2p on 3/28! Write, draw, or sticker on our big poster - we'll scan it later & have an art piece commemorating our collective joy! 🥰 www.meetup.com/eastside-urb...

Fuck this guy

Now that my kid is old enough to start biking within the city w/me I’m extra aware that we need traffic calmed neighborhood greenways. A narrow bike lane on an arterial, even if protected, is not going to work for a tiny 7yo on a 16” wheel. Need the width of a nice quiet street. @qagggy.bsky.social

The coalition showed up. 🚆✊ Labor leaders, transit advocates, and community members packed the @sound-transit.bsky.social board today with one message: keep building. West Seattle. Ballard. Everett to Tacoma. This region's future is on the tracks – don't stop now.

When I moved to Seattle in 2006, there was no regional rail connection to anywhere. In two days, we open a connection that unites TWO LINES together into a full network. Progress is possible.

Transit advocates have shown up to today's Sound Transit board meeting with a clear message to the board around keeping all ST3 projects on track. King County CM Teresa Mosqueda was among them, along with labor leaders.

Dear Eastside friends, I need your lists of favorite shops and restaurants walkable from stations on our new cross-lake connection! If we’re going to invade your fair country from Seattle, where should we go?!

"There is no one walking on [Pike Place] in January or Feburary."

We need to stop prioritizing parking lots over people. Today, I assembled a roundtable to discuss our Building Up Illinois Developments Plan — and the consensus was that we need to act fast. Looking forward to passing it and getting to work in our neighborhoods.

If anyone lost their phone on 28th Ave in Ballard, I dropped it off at the Ballard Community Center. It was in the street, so I wondered if it fell off a bike.

The huge parking lot in the middle of my urban neighborhood is FOR SALE! This lot is right next to Larsen’s Bakery, Beast & Cleaver, and Cafe Munir. redf.in/wQkYOd

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Sound Transit Board to Save ST3. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

SDOT is holding a virtual public drop-in session for the Western-Elliott repave a week from today. Let them know we need protected bike lanes! www.seattle.gov/transportati...

Does anyone know the bike parking situation at Judkins Park Station? I’m thinking about logistics for attending the celebration next Saturday.

Too many people don't believe that a bike makes you immune to traffic. Here's how it works

Aren’t ICE likely to abandon their TSA duties to tackle and kidnap all the non-white workers at the airport? I expect a lot of workers to call in sick out of realistic fear of danger.

The second round of Washington's e-bike rebate program is opening for applications on March 30. links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2...

Gas is up to almost $5 in parts of Chicago, and it's going to get worse. So now is a good time to start looking into a way of carrying people and things that's dramatically cheaper - a cargo ebike! My fuel cost for 2 years was around $6, with only $29 a month total running cost

Been a year since I got an electric bike, and I really didn't anticipate how much it would change my relationship to the city. No need to worry about traffic, parking, sweat (Seattle is super hilly), bus schedules. Everything just feels so much closer.

@seattledot.bsky.social I had to beg your 24 Hour Emergency Response Team to dispatch someone to the Alaskan Way hazard. They drove by, I tried to flag them down, they did a “windshield assessment”, and didn’t bother stopping. Would you disregard drivers going head on into opposing traffic?

Before (2015) / After (2026) the school street Avenue Lamoricière in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. The school street was done in 2022.

Build the damn trains!

It will be a generational mistake to forgo Ballard with light rail.

"commuting to school exclusively via sustainable modes as a child—including school bus, walking, biking, and transit—reduces the probability of car dependence in adulthood (defined as using a car for 95% of trips, or more) by over 12% points" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Sound Transit's consideration of dropping rail to Ballard -- or anywhere else voters approved in ST3 -- is not something we can or should accept. Let's fight back. We can win.

@councilmember-amr.bsky.social reminds us that cars are the biggest source of emissions, and asks SDOT whether they are looking at a Capitol Hill superblock. SDOT says… it’s in the mix of options but they don’t have any preconceived notions 😐 Get involved with @centralseattlestreetsforall.org!

It's my birthday! The news doesn't stop for that, so I'm catching up on meetings this morning before heading to the RapidRide I groundbreaking. I did want to make sure you knew that @theurbanist.org is having a spring membership drive. You get to turn off ads!! www.theurbanist.org/membership/

It’s often discussed how time travelers making small changes can create large ripples. Less discussed is that when you make small changes today, you are paving the ways for others down the road. Be the change you want to see tomorrow

I wonder if Sound Transit’s death threats against Ballard light rail will be the moment when transit riders finally get super fucking bitchy with officials at every level of government. (Just like drivers all the time.)

😢

My initial takeaway from today's Sound Transit board retreat: www.theurbanist.org/sound-transi...

NUTS. Ballard is a major center for families, and is what voters were promised. -If we hadn't taken so damn long, we'd have saved billions. -If we'd passed the 75 year bond, we'd have a better shot. -If the leg hadn't cut progressive funding for light rail, we'd have billions more.

We must not accept this. Don't fight other cities to decide whose line stays and whose gets cut. Instead we need to unite and demand all of ST3 get built ASAP. In 2024 when SPS proposed closing 20 schools, we didn't begin arguing over which schools to close. We said "no" to closing any, and won.

They're out to screw Ballard. And unless NW Seattle organizes to push the board and their local and state legislators to stop them, ST will get away with it.
