Does anyone have an ST estimate for LQA to Ballard and/or CID to West Seattle?

Weaponizing environmental concerns to prevent people from living in our urban environments isn’t new. It’s deployed by people with resources to restrict access to high opportunity areas. It’s nimbyism. In order to reach our housing goals, our land use processes must stop enabling this behavior.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

They can't all be this delusional.

Why are <insert a blue leaning institution or pol> still posting on X? Their unwillingness to leave was the real sign it was time for me to pursue other interests and pay attention to other things to the extent it was possible for me.

Liberal Pols: You should just act like Trump all the time but, you know, be doing it in pursuit of good things.

It's honestly unreal that a professional politician in the year 2026, who is not intentionally trying to be evil, can be this clueless about housing.

No! The voters already had their say! They voted for new maps! Spanberger can kiss her presidential ambitions goodbye if she doesn’t fight this

It’s time.

I'm not saying "let's start a war" but I am saying "this is how wars start." Republicans already target blue states when they have power. Democrats would be foolish to not reply in kind at this point. Then what?

Why are gas prices so high in Washington? Gas taxes are high here, but only account for about $.25/Gallon added vs the national average. I am skeptical of climate legislation adding $.50/gallon but I'll use it anyways. So we add $.75/gallon total and get things like clean air and salmon.

Seriously, imaging getting denied by your insurance company and immediately finding a way to be mad at poor people about it. You can't think of anyone else who might hold some responsibility for US healthcare being shitty? Maybe some political group? Just spitballing here.

Maps like this are trying to bully you. It is in the nature of county-level data to suppress the distinct characteristics of urban populations. Central Seattle is no less real because it doesn't have a county to itself.

The most interesting thing about this is that Trump is in the Epstein files and stopping them from being released.

It's come to my attention that I might be a bit unprepared. What champagne/fireworks combo best says "I wish you suffered more consequences when you were alive but I'm still entirely elated that you're dead?"

They think you're stupid.

I was already for it, you don't have to sell me, Bannon.

Huge turnout of 250+ people at a rally and march to demand Sound Transit build light rail to Ballard as promised in the voter-approved ST3 ballot measure.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

Northbound MLK Way is down to one lane near Dawson St. During rush hour, this causes a traffic jam that can be measured in miles. 0.0 miles, to be exact.

"Art of the deal" Out of desperation, Trump is preparing an unconditional surrender to Iran in the war he started for no reason.

No one uses it, let's get rid of that ugly nasty thing.

Every single day from 2008 to 2020 I walked to work because I couldn't count on the Route 8 showing up and actually getting me there on time and THIS MONTH we're getting a plan to fix that, from a Mayor who actually cares about this.

We need to go taller, denser, and faster. That's why we're taking bold steps to meet the scale of our housing crisis by combining and accelerating the next phases of Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan.

Speeches are underway outside Judkins Park Station and officials are about to cut the ribbon on the 2 Line Crosslake Connection. After a few more speeches.

I'm offended on behalf of Christians as someone who has actually read a lot of the new testament. It's been a minute, but I don't think that part of the Jesus rap is fuzzy.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

It is ultimately my patriotism that drives my bitter disappointment in what is happening here.

Ding ding ding

I think burying power lines is good for aesthetic, resilience, and safety reasons. The problem here is uncertain/excessive standards and onerous permitting requirements.

It’s also crazy how democrats funnel tons of money into deep red rural areas while republicans do everything they can to defund blue cities

When you realize that this is about a personal preference that no housing be built anywhere they can see it... and that they could give two fucks about the negative impacts of that... Everything they say and do makes more sense.

I made this helpful flow chart a year ago. I really feel like it's held up.

Whooooo!!!!! (Other direction)

In a word: Whoooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Getting ready to ride a train, wheeeeeee!

The NYT style guide

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

America has a loneliness epidemic. Sticking people into crowded ICE detention facilities could cure it.

Hemingway was once bet that he couldn’t write the world’s happiest short story in just 5 words. He replied,

I think it’s pretty clear this is all extremely intentional. The media has refused to cover Trump as he actually is for 10 years: a corrupt, racist imbecile. It’s intentional. These way out of proportion attacks on AOC, smarter than Trump in every way, are intentional.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Fuck, and I mean this, The New York Times.

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Hi Seattle housing Bluesky pals! I know this is a difficult question, but do any of you know when (if ever) the comp plan re-zones go into effect? My attempts to source this information myself were a complete failures.

Congrats Minnesota resistance. You beat them.
