Great news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 7.5% in August too! That's three months of solid data showing the pedestrianization pilot is good for business. Add your ideas for how to keep the momentum going into the fall: actionnetwork.org/letters/pike...

Last Friday, we hosted a celebration ride in the new Beacon Hill bike lanes. 10 years of grassroots organizing = real urban transformation. Big thanks to @seattledot.bsky.social and every neighbor who refused to give up. Together, we can build safer, more accessible streets for everyone.

Seattle's bike network is finally headed south! Thanks to @sngreenways.bsky.social and @seattledot.bsky.social for the awesome work and am glad to finally be able to report on this update youtu.be/IfaC-WTDQI0

Join us for the Solidarity Budget Roundtable at Jefferson Park tonight, 5:00 - 8:00 PM. Part strategy session, part community building, part kickoff to budget season. Let’s push for a city budget rooted in safety, equity & care. Learn more: seattlesolidaritybudget.com

Beacon Ave in front of the light rail station might be the best street redesign in @seattledot.bsky.social 's history. A spot with a history of traffic injuries and deaths now has dramatically shorter crosswalks, fully separated bike lanes and in-lane bus stops to prioritize transit efficiency.

After more than a decade of advocacy, new protected bike lanes + pedestrian upgrades are finally open along 15th Ave S & Beacon Ave S! 📖 Read the story of how neighbors + advocates made it happen: www.seattlegreenways.org/get-involved...

Celebrate the beautiful weather with a visit to the Pike Place pedestrian pilot! I had lunch at Mr D’s Greek Delicacies and picked up some fruit from one of the local farmers.

We pulled off a Play Street on the School Street by Salmon Bay K-8 on Thursday! Huge thanks to all who helped make it possible, and came by, especially @sngreenways.bsky.social @seattledot.bsky.social Love to hear "we should do this more often!" but also I am tired & behind on everything not this 😅

The rally outside City Hall is complete, head upstairs to testify if you are trying to speak up for a walkable and affordable city today.

The zesty jumble argument is baaaack! www.seattletimes.com/opinion/pike... Reheated as: "Its lively and gritty mix of pedestrians, cars and delivery vans has existed since its founding and was deemed vital to the Market’s continued health and survival." 🙄🙄🙄 Some people clearly miss these scenes 📷

We filmed at First & Pike with Kenji Lopez and Ray Delahanty talking about the Pike Place Market limited vehicle access test pilot and what it could mean for the future of Seattle’s most iconic public space. Future video in the works. Stay tuned for updates. 👀

"People who haven’t been to the Market since the car cutoff should give it a try. Shoppers no longer have to constantly hop around to avoid cars...Walking on the cobbles feels like a neighborhood experience, not an I-might-get-clipped-by-a-bumper gamble. It just feels friendlier." Do you agree?

Tell @council.seattle.gov let's make Seattle walkable and affordable by: 1) Legalizing corner stores 2) Expanding neighborhood centers 3) Adding flexibility in car parking regulations 4) Encouraging stacked flats 5) Supporting social housing Take action today!

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.

It was a great day to celebrate the new Alaskan Way bike lanes! Be sure to check them out. www.seattlegreenways.org/get-involved...

Summer in Seattle means sunflowers in our protected bike lane barriers. 🌻

Pleasantly surprised by Quincy Square in Bremerton — a chill, pedestrian-only street that proves you don’t need to be a big city to dream big. Every town deserves vibrant, people-first spaces to gather, shop, and celebrate local life.

Let's legalize more affordable and walkable neighborhoods. Help save neighborhood centers: housingconsortium.salsalabs.org/07102025Neig...
