BREAKING: The Seattle Social Housing Developer has announced its first acquisition, a 150-unit apartment building near Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle, for the cost of $60.9 million. It plans to convert half the units to be affordable for low and middle-income tenants.

On @citycastseattle.bsky.social, talked with @janehu.bsky.social & Marcus Harrison Green about worker cooperatives, the Boeing IMAX, plus what the best film I saw at #Cannes2026 was (spoiler: it's from a great Seattle filmmaker and is remarkable) 📽️ Listen here: seattle.citycast.fm/podcasts/wha...

Hey, I was on @citycastseattle.bsky.social talking about #Cascadia Day, reclaiming Indigenous names for Washington's volcanoes, and how awful cruise ships are for the environment: megaphone.link/CC2968633229

the Discourse around whether Seattle is "pro-business" has mostly ignored the fact that big business has been fighting taxes here for the last decade - and that our mayor helped write the JumpStart policy. we talk about that and how Nashville is responding to Starbucks moving into their city:

An excellent discussion in the first block between the hosts of @citycastseattle.bsky.social and @citycastnash.bsky.social about Starbucks' HQ move.

Today on the podcast, contributors @guyoron.net and Eula Scott Bynoe join @janehu.bsky.social to talk about the state of public restrooms ahead of the World Cup and how Real Change is increasing in price. Plus, a mailbag devoted to girl dinners and meals under $20.

"safety is not simply the absence of harm. It is the presence of something else entirely, including stability, dignity, and connection. The conditions that make violence less likely to occur in the first place. Those are not things you can install. They are things you have to build." 📣 📣 📣

What's going on with Seattle Children's Hospital and their neighbors in Laurelhurst? And how long has this been going on? That's what we're talking about on today's episode.

Seattle Children's employees: my DMs are open. Would love your thoughts on the ongoing helipad discussions.

In today's @citycastseattle.bsky.social episode, one of the guests is the executive director of UW's long Covid clinic, who said people should still be masking in higher risk environments/situations to try to avoid catching Covid. Never one to shirk being the bearer of bad news, not me! 🤣

Waking up to rain in Seattle on Earth Day just feels right 🌧️

Before it became history, it was opening day at the Seattle World’s Fair on this day in 1962. Take a nostalgic trip back and “Skedaddle to Seattle” as the city welcomed the future.⁠

Appreciate @gramsofgnats.bsky.social’s attention to WA’s public defense crisis. The Constitution is mostly a restraint on government. This is the rare case where it grants a positive right. That's why counties are suing and we’re going to win.

On @citycastseattle.bsky.social, talked Washington’s public defenders crisis, a new artist housing space in Downtown Seattle, the great films to see at the Seattle International Film Festival + more w/ @janehu.bsky.social & gramsofgnats.bsky.social 📽️ Listen here: seattle.citycast.fm/podcasts/ove...

Happy summer reservations release day!

i took this photo last wednesday — exciting to see how many more days we’ll be getting!

It was fun being on @citycastseattle.bsky.social talking about some of my favorite topics: taxes, forest service trails, and #polyamory! Have a listen.. megaphone.link/CC1942896489

if cities really want human-generated data on potholes, ask cyclists. we know every dip and hole on our regular routes by heart because our lives quite literally depend on it. and all that data is tracked by tens of thousands of Garmin devices, if you want neatly mapped data - no waymos necessary

Does Seattle love puppets more than the average city? We're thinking yes...

Today's @citycastseattle.bsky.social was a really fun one to record, with a discussion of this week's Comprehensive Plan hearing, Sound Transit 3, and the dismantling of Dragon Land in Seward Park. megaphone.link/CC3648346270

Here are some topics we've covered on the podcast lately: why WA sold off Caterpillar bonds, local measles exposures, spring book recs, Robinhood suing our state, pro-tax millionaires, and much more! Listen here: seattle.citycast.fm/podcasts 🎧

Travel writer Rick Steves on Washington's newly signed "Millionaires Tax"

Only Charles Mudede could write a weather report I am both depressed and delighted by: "By Saturday, we will enter the 60s and begin our inevitable climb to days that are ruined by a sun whose power has been inflated by the human liberation of carbon."

blown away by how many great artists live in our city and the lovely designs they've submitted! can't wait to see some of these hanging in the CID

How much are we supposed to tip these days? Listen in as @janehu.bsky.social, @mhgreen3000.bsky.social, and @bretthamil.bsky.social ponder that question and more on today's episode.

Good morning from Mercer Island station. Every reporter from the entire Seattle metropolitan region is about to cross a floating bridge on a light rail train for the first time ever.

Today, Jane is joined by contributors @hannahkrieg.bsky.social and Eula Scott Bynoe to give listeners the latest information on ICE being sent to airports across the country + the Dick’s class action lawsuit filing + all three bring some good news to share.
