Rainier Ave has some of Seattle’s highest crash and speeding rates and local youth are organizing about it. The Rainier Youth Committee is hosting a “Shaping Our Streets” listening session this Saturday on transit reliability and pedestrian safety. Love seeing young people lead on safer streets.

It was 34 degrees and sleeting but 16 people turned out to discuss making safe and accessible streets in Green Lake and Wallingford! Excited to see what they do next. If you missed it, their next meeting is March 24th, Jellyfish Brewing in Green Lake at 6pm. Or go to seattlegreenways.org/volunteer

I’m going to be there! See you tonight?

Today is the cutoff for this bill to advance this year. Please ask your state reps to pass HB2095 (you can use the link below) if you haven't already! Thank you

Take action now! Tell your state representatives you want them to pass HB2095 to strengthen accountability for drivers who hit people walking or biking: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2095 A vote is expected soon, and your voice makes a difference. cc: @wabike.bsky.social @cascade.org

Green Lake & Wallingford neighbors: join Green Lake Wallingford Safe Streets for their first meeting in a while. Tue, Feb 17 | 6–7 PM Jellyfish Brewing, Green Lake Meet neighbors. Talk local street projects. Build community for safer streets. Bring a friend! #SafeStreets #GreenLake #Wallingford

Seattle: this is your victory. Thank you to everyone who made today a safe and unforgettable part of your city's history.

Walking, biking, and transit got a million people downtown yesterday but let’s fill the streets with cars again and pretend it never happened.

"The Study's recommended configuration: One bus lane and one vehicle lane in each direction, plus dedicated space for people walking, rolling and biking. This balances multiple needs while prioritizing what works best for the most people." ‼️Honestly, a sea change for WSDOT. Kudos to Anna and others

"Few opportunities in the levy are greater than on Rainier Ave, where repaving, safety work, and transit upgrades...all converge, especially around Judkins Park Station...the road remains incredibly dangerous...even as it welcomes thousands of additional neighbors via significant housing growth." 💯

The safety, accessibility, and mobility improvements @seattledot.bsky.social is building to connect to @sound-transit.bsky.social's Pinehurst station are really exciting! Can't wait to celebrate this opening 🚈 🚶🏻🚴🏽‍♀️🚌👨🏻‍🦽! www.seattle.gov/transportati...

Bike and scooter traffic in the uphill Pike St protected bike lane in February!

Join the First Hill Improvement Association on Thursday Feb 12th at City Burger at 6 PM to talk all things 🚶🏼‍♂️🚴🏾‍♀️🚌!

Our crew-built work is one big way that we’re delivering the Seattle Transportation Levy. By using in-house construction crews, we complete improvements that you’ve requested with lower costs and faster timelines. Here are 9 recently completed projects from our inspector’s camera roll:

NW Greenways’ February meeting is tomorrow. Join to connect with neighbors, hear updates, and shape safer streets in NW Seattle. New folks always welcome!

SDOT greenlit a similar project in West Seattle on Friday: SW Lander Street, west of California Avenue.

Yay, glad to see this finally announced publicly! The Burke Gilman is our state’s most popular trail and it should be comfortable, safe, and accessible for all. If it were a highway we would already have widened it. The design next to UW Medical should be the standard (with the addition of lighting)

Last month, Rita Hulsman was honored as a Seattle Kraken Hero of the Deep for her advocacy for safer streets. Through her leadership and the One Roof Foundation, SNG received a $32K Kraken Unity Fund gift to support safer walking, biking, and rolling in Seattle. 💙

@seattledot.bsky.social it’s great to see the traffic calming at E Pike & Harvard come to life! Thank you! 🙏

HOME ZONE: we updated N Greenwood Ave and N 95th St to make it easier to cross the street and prevent cut-through traffic. This project was funded by the Seattle Transportation Levy, built by SDOT crews, and based on crash data and resident input from the Aurora-Licton Urban Village Home Zone.

December Pedestrianized Pike Place Pilot numbers are in, and drum roll please… 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 Sales are up again! (7.1%). Sales at the market have beat expectations every month of the pilot so far. Take a moment of zen and join me this video stroll down the festive street last month.

Everyone: how cool! Me: Cool! And also we need to extend the 2nd Ave S bike lanes to the stadiums starting at S Washington St so that everyone can bike and scoot there safely, and pedestrians can rule on Occidental Ave.

Hang w/Central Seattle Greenways this evening at Chuck’s Hop Shop on Union! Join their monthly happy hour to learn what CSG is up to, get involved, meet fellow neighbors, and rant/rave about transportation in Central Seattle. ⏰ 6 - 8 PM 🚲 Look for bike helmets & transit nerds New folks welcome!

On #MLKDay, join Whose Streets? Our Streets! + MLK Transportation Justice for a workshop on Surveillance under Authoritarianism. 📍 Garfield High School, Room 239 🕘 Jan 19, 9:30–10:45 AM Full MLK Day schedule → www.seattlemlkcoalition.org/mlk-day

Transit riders have been forced to sit through traffic on Seattle’s slowest and least reliable bus for decades. Finally we have a mayor willing to prioritize mobility and the climate to improve our transit system and give Seattleites the freedom of mobility they deserve. Roll out the red carpet!

Huge congratulations to the amazing community volunteers and advocates @sngreenways.bsky.social and @fixthel8.bsky.social who paved the way for this change. I'm so proud of you. And thank you Mayor Wilson! #Seattle

Huge congrats to the @fixthel8.bsky.social team 🎉 Volunteers turned chronic bus delays on Denny into a vivid, public demonstration — racing the L8 by walking, leapfrogging, and even line dancing to show, in real time, how much time riders lose every day. Amazing to see their advocacy pay off.

Hey Washington State people who care about safer streets-- Please voice your support for Washington to lead the US towards safer streets by passing a Presumed Liability Law. The House Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing at 8am tomorrow, 1-14-2026 regarding HB 2095.

@seattlebikeblog.com tagged along with @gordonofseattle.bsky.social for a joyride through a huge year of bike lane openings—fog, views, and all. 📰 www.seattlebikeblog.com/2026/01/07/w... #SeattleBike #SafeStreets #BikeSeattle

Kick off 2026 with NW Greenways for their January meeting to connect with neighbors, share ideas, and keep pushing for safer, more welcoming streets in Northwest Seattle. 🗓 Thursday, January 8 ⏰ 7:00–8:00 PM 📍 Halcyon Brewing Company 8564 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle

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.

Join the reboot of Duwamish Valley Safe Streets. Let’s come together to set priorities and push for safer streets in the Duwamish Valley. 📅 Mon, Dec 15, 7 PM 📍 Duwamish River Community Hub (8600 14th Ave S)

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.
