Boy I needed this good news. I've been anxious since yesterday's update was posted. I thought it was over

Had fun meeting & chatting with folks from cycling, safe streets, transit, & urbanist spheres before & after attending a talk by some of my favorite car-free advocates. Got my copy of the book And yes, I biked to & from it! @brooklynspoke.bsky.social @sgoodyear.bsky.social @nerd4cities.bsky.social

What a turnout for @thewaroncars.bsky.social and @nerd4cities.bsky.social

The Ask poster in action. 🔥🔥

The next batch of King County ballot counts are due out "by 4 p.m." You can check on the status of your ballot here: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/... In past elections, the big shifts happened in Thursday and Friday counts. A rainy bike ride is a great way to get out nervous energy.

it's telling the harrell campaign doesn't have any vision or positive message to run on. it's just deflection. misogyny. tearing down his opponents. gaslighting the public. tomorrow when he loses will be so effing great.

Love when the fall leaves show how little of the road cars actually use to drive on. IMO that's all the city should have to pay to maintain and narrowing it to that distance would help slow cars down to appropriate speeds for entering this neighborhood.

PSA for Seattle procrastinators: If you're voting today or tomorrow, USE A DROP BOX, NOT THE MAIL! The USPS won't guarantee your timely ballot is postmarked on time. Locations of ballot boxes: cd.kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec... More details: publicola.com/2025/10/03/p...

What a beautiful sight. Speed limit in Seattle is 25mph but most roads designed for 50mph. Looks like a good solution.

@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social   played a key role in passing Jumpstart, a progressive tax revenue that has brought in hundreds of millions to the city's annual budget. Learn more about how it was passed and the importance of progressive taxation. Full interview on our YouTube!

Our neighbors wouldn't be if they didn't have to be

Voted Wilson yesterday. I can't wait for her to be our new mayor. Don't forget to vote. #VoteSeattle #ThisIsYourCity #ThisIsOurCity Let's all pull together!

Forrest Smith, the only National Park Service engineer cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells, lost his contract, leaving 93 orphaned wells on park lands unmanaged. These leaking wells release methane and toxins, threatening human health and the environment.

I'm very jealous of this level of ambition for car free transport in Utah. Cited was motivation for improved air quality. Much needed in Salt Lake Valley where they experience extreme levels of air pollution every year.

Finished Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. After finishing the first I couldn't wait to get them next one from the library and had to buy it. I'm sure I'll revisit and reread them both. What an amazing author. I also think I found a new favorite genre.

I’m calmer when I can travel at walking/biking speeds and take in my surroundings… like this pretty yellow canopy of leaves.

i'll just note that the mariners were 2-0 until bruce held an illegal campaign event with his campaign PAC while airing some really disgusting campaign ads.

#Seattle join us in electing Katie as our next mayor. We need vision and know-how. Katie is exceptionally qualified to lead us into an age of affordability, where local government works for the people and not their donors and family. Fill out your ballot early and return it! Let’s win this!

Traffic in cities is a geometry problem, not a technology problem.

Also gives more space back to the people

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown. Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

Exactly. If Harrell is re-elected, nothing will change on homelessness, on housing costs, and so much more. He will take it as validation of what he's done so far.

Dear Toronto: We will stop scoring runs this game if Doug Ford agrees to stop tearing out bike lanes. Until then, the runs will continue.

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

100% agree

I need this. Will someone please leave it in the little free library nearest to me. Thank you

I play a game with my son where watch cars and see if they can stop before the stop line or even at minimum not enter the crosswalk. In a school zone at peak school zone hours most cars (once, 9/10 cars) didn't stop before the stop sign. Most didn't come to a complete stop at all.

This could be Seattle 2026. 😉

Lol, doing this next time the bus is late. Happy spooky season!

Harrell's campaign is leaning hard on the "experience managing large, complex organizations" argument. And yet here's a story where SDOT ultimately follows its own policies and does the right thing, but *in spite of* Harrell's leadership, thanks to pressure from his opponent's activist organization.

I thought it was a Polytoad but clearly that's just a green Polywrath. Portland is so great!

Love the shout out to Big Dumper. Let's go Mariners! You got this tonight! #Mariners

That's so cool! I'll need to visit soon. I've heard great things about Paris's mayor and the changes she's making/made but I didn't know London was also progressing so much.

@seattledot.bsky.social please install official micromobilty parking at E Pike & Melrose Ave. This area has long needed it, and without it we constantly see bike lanes and sidewalks obstructed with bike & scooter share vehicles.

I'll be canvassing for Katie Wilson in my neighborhood next week Connect with her team and join a canvassing event in your neighborhood #wilsonforseattle Let our voices be heard louder than what money can buy #thisisourcity

Let's say bye to Bruce Harrell and welcome to Katie Wilson

Dang, that looks fun! Banger song too!

Peacefully reading Parable of the Talents on my lunch break, and then, LEAF BLOWER!

What a great way to show it's an unarmed peaceful protest

I'm seeing so many more people biking in SE Seattle. Hard fought wins to get protected bike lanes are making a difference in how people get around.

No lies were told

Despicable. He wrote this in his concurrence on a shadow docket case where multiple U.S. citizens were arrested and detained for days. Their ID's never returned when they were finally released. ID's they provided and ICE had the entire time they were held.

Mark your calendars for Week Without Driving starting September 30. Can be a very eye opening experience!
