It's been a âšwhileâš since we've posted, huh? That's because our Bargaining team has been DEEP in negotiations over our first contract for over a year now. But we're finally getting towards the end, and we're hopeful that we can come to a fair agreement! I mean how could you say no to these faces?

ICE must be abolished. The work of our time is to tear down the system that built it and remake it into one that embraces and designs systems that include all people from all places. This work will be done, because the alternative is unbearable.

My proposal for a masking, identification, and verification ordinance will, if passed and among other things, direct PPB to conduct preliminary investigations of potential impostors / impersonators of federal agents, which is common enough that even Donald Trump's FBI is warning cities about it.

Live updates: Western Washington braces for more rain and flooding this week
Western Washington is once again bracing for heavy rain and gusting winds through Wednesday, as more atmospheric rivers arrive. More flooding is also expected as more rain pelts the region and mountain dams release water to free up reservoir space. It's once again all eyes on the Skagit River. Forecasters predict it'll crest above major flood stage in Concrete early Tuesday morning, then hit downstream in Mount Vernon that evening. Residents in an area of Auburn were given a "GO NOW" evacuation notice late on Saturday, Dec. 13 as the Green River continued to rise. A portion of SR 167 between Auburn and Kent was closed. Areas affected by heavy rainfall are at an increased risk of landslides and mudslides. Officials have advised visitors of burned areas this weekend to take extra precautions. The Trump administration on Friday approved Washington stateâs appeal for federal disaster assistance, quelling some anxiety over whether the state would receive federal assistance. View KUOW's developing list of flooding resources here. See flood updates from Thursday, Dec. 11 here.
