The "Bruce Harrell for Seattle's Future" PAC has raised more money from Medina residents than the "Katie Wilson for an Affordable Seattle" PAC has raised overall.

Bicycles Deliver the Freedom that Auto Ads Promise.

Many things can be said about this, but worth noting that he'd probably be locked up right now if he'd not been riding a step-through bike.

When business interests tried to buy the 2019 elections, they also poured millions into local races. That effort led to a backlash (they didn't win). Wonder how voters will perceive this last-ditch outpouring of corporate and real-estate support for the mayor, who only got 41%,

SDOT: can’t do bus lanes, the traffic study says it’s bad The traffic study: yea so a bus lane would probably help more people

Ride with me tomorrow ! And explore the U District Art Walk! everydayrides.com/events/68b47...

Some residents on a neighborhood greenway asked me how they could depave the street parking in front of their homes and add trees, so I asked SDOT, who said they are “not aware of a program that could address these types of requests at this time.” 😒 Big opportunity to think different! 🚙➡️🌳

Bike with me this Friday to explore the U District Art Walk! everydayrides.com/events/68b47...

CO2 absorbed by a tree: 48 lbs. CO2 emitted by a car: 10,140 lbs. Trees are essential but real climate action requires taking cars off the road.

A lot of people have been calling me the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of Seattle. But where Zohran is charismatic, telegenic and stylish, I've spent my whole adult life looking pretty dumpy. To look more mayoral, I enlisted my friend Andrew Ashiofu, who took me to one of Seattle's premier boutiques.

@seattlebikeblog.com and South End community members recently organized a bike-to-canvas event that brought together more than 50 Seattleites to share our campaign’s message of public safety and affordability for everyone. Thanks, volunteers!

Reading this and reminding myself that Seattle cant even paint a bus only lane for Route 8 www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

I was going to post about how amazing it was that I can now ride from Beacon Hill to South Park to Georgetown to downtown almost entirely in PBLs. But instead I’ll post this picture of a guy who smashed into the bike lane seconds after I rolled through:

Nice to see some more on this @visionzerovancouver.ca billboard momentummag.com/vision-zero-...

Melissa was able to visit Zahid recently and asked us to share his statement. He is currently in an isolation cell. From Melissa: “He can't even see a clock to tell day from night, and he's still under the 24/7 bright light exposure. This has to stop.”

Let’s do more of this! This tree keeps this whole intersection cool all day.

Thanks, Bruce! You made sure Katie didn’t lack name recognition!

Yay Katie!!!

This one drives me nuts when people write pieces about the subway being “dangerous” when it is orders of magnitude safer than driving in a private car. They just don’t count traffic fatalities as a real risk/issue we could do something about.

Cars have degraded our environment, economy, and lives. Forced car dependency makes us poorer, less healthy, and disconnected to our natural world. The first step of a cure is to recognize that we have a car problem. Most of us don't even see where we are through our bug-splattered windshields.

In our last episode, we talked to bike activists in two cities who made their own bike lanes with opposite results. soundcloud.com/biketalk/252... @pattybikes.com @cascadebicycleclub.bsky.social @merlinrain.bsky.social @seattlebikeblog.com #bikesky

Important information, share widely nlgmltf.org/military-law...

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

Kristi Noem says they plan to “liberate” California. How is this not the boldface headline everywhere? This is civil war.

Not a sidewalk kiosk in sight, just downtown visitors living in the moment

Look at these beasts… #WorldBollardAssociation

Watch Harrell respond with his own video walking through the Bellevue Collection lamenting the cost of A5 Wagyu.

Having Toronto Barriers in stock allows a streets agency to adaptively execute quick build projects 🚴 💚

Wow, thank you SDOT and @sngreenways.bsky.social!

The suddenly unprotected bike lane on Pine and 4th is a death trap and almost killed me today. That white line marks the bike lane. The planter at right “protects” the bike lane.

🐬The Pike Place closure to non-essential traffic is in effect.

Tern says that a container from Vietnam that would have been subject to $20-30k in important duties will now cost $1M in tariffs. This is an extinction level event for the bike industry.

The purpose of American (and Canadian) zoning is to make housing more expensive

I love dark Soviet jokes. I hate that they are relevant.

Wise words in times like these.

“I don’t know about you, but I believe that one important contributor to the quality of life is not being dead” Thank you for this, Paul Krugman

Host of one of the most popular car TV shows: "Obviously I’ve spent a lot of time over the years writing about cars and making TV about them, and I love cars, but I do think in my bones they don’t really belong in towns. Cars are great for going between places." Pick the right 🚲🚗🚶🏻🚌🚆tool for the job

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

BREAKING & BIG: Today in PARIS, citizens voted in a referendum to PEDESTRIANIZE 500 MORE of the city's streets, giving fresh momentum to efforts by city leaders to create people-places, curb car usage, and improve air quality. 66% of Parisians voted in favour of the measure, official results showed!
