More good news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 7.2% in October! Or to quote the PDA's own words the market has had "exceptional sales performance of our tenants." (pikeplacemarket.community.highbond.com/document/fd1...) 📈 So far every month of the pedestrianization pilot sales have been up!

We met our $25,000 match — thank you for showing up for safer streets! Let’s start the New Year strong and keep pushing for people-first neighborhoods. Donate by Midnight: seattlegreenways.org/donate

Making US Roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more American lives (30,000 per year) than eliminating murder from the US (24,000 per year). Image with alt text:

FREE FARES FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE: King County Metro, Sound Transit, and other transit agencies are offering FREE RIDES today. This includes buses, the light rail, Seattle Streetcar, the water taxi, and more. Details: https://bit.ly/4b3flei

It’s December 30th. Pike Place Market is packed with people awkwardly standing or sitting on the curb to eat treats from vendors. Removing the street seating for the winter was a mistake. Seattle has a mild climate with days where people want to sit and linger year round

Pass it on: Building bike lanes creates good paying union jobs that AI can never replace

Great to see @seattledot.bsky.social out on the Union St parking protected bike lanes this morning improving visibility at intersections! This is part of the Even Better Bike Lanes project @sngreenways.bsky.social has advocated for. Cc @jseattle.bsky.social @seattlebikeblog.com

People can now bike and roll safely from Downtown → Georgetown → South Park using protected bike lanes. Our new video centers community voices from the Duwamish Valley & tells the story of decades of advocacy finally turning into real, life-changing infrastructure. Full Video: youtu.be/4qraCq094_k

🚴‍♂️ 💚 My 2025 bike highlight was joining a group ride to attend the @seattledot.bsky.social “Hot Bike Summer” event to open the Georgetown to Downtown project. Was great hanging with @gordonofseattle.bsky.social @alexis4seattle.bsky.social at the @sngreenways.bsky.social booth

1/🧵 One of the best things about Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is our volunteers. In 2025, alongside major construction wins, people-powered street actions made the case for safer, more welcoming streets impossible to ignore. Standout Moments 👇 www.seattlegreenways.org/get-involved...

This project has greatly improved my family’s life. I use it nearly every work day to get my kids safely to daycare. It has made it safer to bike and walk to get groceries, coffee, library books, and more.

1/🧵 2025 was a transformational year for walking, biking, rolling, and transit in Seattle. After years of delays, long-promised projects finally opened—thanks to sustained community advocacy. Here is a look at what opened this year 👇 www.seattlegreenways.org/get-involved...

1/ New energy is everywhere in Seattle Neighborhood Greenways. In 2025, we saw a surge of volunteer leadership across our neighborhood groups — neighbors stepping up to organize, lead campaigns, and imagine safer streets together. 🧵👇

I was so sad to hear about the death of a cyclist due to a hit-and-run on Beacon Ave. Allie was a beloved community member, avid biker, & advocate for safer transit & streets. My condolences to their family and friends. But condolences are hollow if we don’t take action to prevent the next tragedy.

Early Sunday morning, a driver struck and killed a 38-year-old named Allie who was biking across Beacon Ave S. The driver fled the scene. As a lifelong cyclist who’s had my share of close calls, my heart goes out to Allie’s family and friends.

A few years ago, biking with kids from the Chinatown–International District to Georgetown felt impossible. But this year, Clara and a few fellow advocates and a group of amazing safe streets advocates got to actually do it riding brand-new protected bike lanes from C-ID to Georgetown.

I love this! Great perspective and suggestions from @sngreenways.bsky.social . I am psyched to watch as each new #lesscar step Mayor Wilson could choose to take will have exponential #ClimateInfluence and create new levels of Seattle neighborhood joy. Let’s GO!

@nondriver.bsky.social, Ilona Lohrey (GSBA), and I asked in the Seattle Times today for: "A parking corral system where, in busy areas around town, shared bikes and scooters must be parked in designated zones located on the street whenever physically possible." www.seattletimes.com/opinion/ok-c...

Transportation costs are the second largest burden on American family budgets (17%), after housing (33%)! To address the affordability crisis, we must create cities with abundant housing of all types (subsidized, social, coop, market rate) and make walking, biking, and taking transit convenient.

🎉A game changer for Beacon Hill! Thank you to all the neighbors with Beacon Hill Safe Streets who did the organizing and advocacy to make it happen (there was a period where it was on the edge!). Get involved to extend this south through all of Beacon Hill. seattlegreenways.org/volunteer

Huge turnout braved the rain to celebrate the new E Marginal Way bike lanes this morning with @bestsidecycling.com & @seattlebikeblog.com! Ride Info: www.seattlebikeblog.com/2025/10/16/w...

Full disclosure: I hosted the recent collab with Kenji López-Alt on my channel, but @sngreenways.bsky.social really did all the work. We agreed to donate the first-month YouTube ad revenue (which is usually most if it) to the Pike Place Market Foundation. So today I donated $535.16.

I spent the summer visiting school streets in Europe and recently SDOT built a sad (but welcome) one at McClure on Queen Anne where my kid attended school for a year. Now that I have nexus with the program, I plan to focus on improving it.
