This bill doesn’t address the core issue that millions of Americans will no longer be able to afford ACA insurance coverage next year. I’m willing to work with anyone to create a path forward but this isn’t it.

👏 CHECK 👏 YOUR 👏 BALLOT 👏

URGENT BOLLARD ALERT. SDOT is going to the Pike Place Market Historical Commission next Wednesday to get initial guidance on the "physical protective barriers" planned ahead of the FIFA World Cup. The board is getting its temperature taken on a "hybrid approach" of bollards and vehicle barricades.

There will be a lot of pressure from the centrist types to just let bygones be bygones, to turn the page and look forward. We have to resist that. ICE Agents need to be treated like Nazi camp guards: prosecuted and persecuted for the rest of their lives.

Milo has something to say, and he feels strongly about it.

My ballot was counted this year, but in a previous election is was rejected and I had to fix it — just took a couple of minutes. Make sure yours was counted Seattle! info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Has anyone been to the Railway Museum in Saitama, Japan? I’m planning a family trip in the spring and am looking for a short day trip from Tokyo so I can ride the Shinkansen.

These photos are 100 years apart. Bikes are so awesome.

Lots of love for lidding I-5 in Seattle (or just getting rid of it?) at the "Life After Cars" book event at Town Hall with @brooklynspoke.bsky.social @sgoodyear.bsky.social @nerd4cities.bsky.social. Get the book and join our fight at www.lidi5.org.

Man I just had a moment where I realized again that we're getting Rinck, Foster, Lin and Evans in Seattle and just sheesh, what a crew

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

Dangerous and aggressive drivers are emboldened by a lack of enforcement. Knowing they face no repercussions empowers them to continue to escalate. He was so comfortable and confident because nothing will happen to him. He'll do this again to someone else, but next time he may not stop at threats.

Someone give Lex $2 million so they can launch a politics version of Teen Vogue. Do it now. No strings attached.

Part of the reason a lot of drivers are convinced that cyclists are constantly breaking the law is that those drivers neither know nor care what the law is.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

This is horrible. Teen Vogue was doing some of the best political journalism in the US, and also translating it for young adults in a way that didn't condescend to them.

New awareness campaign

We could have nice things. Paris quickly cleaned up their air, reduced traffic jams while improving mobility and overall livability 💚

Weather apps have rain alert features, but what we really need in the PNW is a “sun break” push notification ☁️🌤️☁️

It’s that time again!! Snoqualmie Falls roaring Saturday evening following our #AtmosphericRiver! #wawx

After KUOW reported the scandal that Seattle mayoral candidate Katie Wilson’s parents pitch in on childcare costs as she campaigns, today incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell argued that this city needs to be led by someone so rich they can afford to forget their own child even exists.

This chart always makes me think about how we made the streets "safer" by making sure no one goes outside ever, especially kids

“The unvarnished truth is that the real and greatest threat to our kids on Halloween is the automobile. Kids are 3X more likely to be hit by a car on #Halloween than on any other night of the year. By focusing on imagined dangers, communities are failing to take action to actually protect children.”

The Aurora Reimagined Coalition is working to fundamentally transform Aurora (this was at 130th) from a high speed corridor that works for no one into a normal city street that doesn't constantly send people to the hospital or morgue.

This is a road planners shove housing on telling us it’s a “transit corridor”

consider this part one of what will be an ongoing series making the case for an imperial congress (gift link)

Katie Wilson SAYS the city should build more public restrooms, yet she uses private restrooms every day. #KatieWilsonScandals

This is the kind of local-history deep cut satire you love to see in these everything everywhere times

A budget amendment from Dan Strauss, co-sponsored by Saka and Rinck, would pilot summer transit service from central Ballard to Golden Gardens.

"Multimillionaire mayor makes fun of local mom struggling to pay for childcare" is not the headline Harrell wants

I address the first scandal of my political life—Momgate.

you know how SPS begged council to upzone around schools and add back the neighborhood centers the mayor removed to increase the number of homes where students could live near schools?

I've been calculating the amount of each Seattle neighborhood elementary attendance area that overlaps with its walk zone. In how much of the city can kids walk to their assigned neighborhood school? Here's the answer!

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The only appropriate location for Trunk or Treat is Radiator Springs

I went to a Dodgers game about twenty years ago, and the car-brained design was shocking to me even then.

It would be cheaper for me to move my parents to Seattle and rent a second apartment for help with childcare than to send my child to 5-day/week infant care next year. Harrell is woefully out of touch (big surprise).

American Billionaires and the companies they run, donating funds so that Trump can destroy part of the White House, is just so on the nose.
