🚨 ATTENTION RIDERS! 🚨 We're not going to let city council cut our bus service. Come to public comment this Monday to tell them we want MORE bus service not less! Details and RSVP here: luma.com/hq33yvmk

We need to stop asking nicely for drivers to share space and start taking it fully.

NEW STORY// Kettle Proposes Slashing Seattle Transit Measure, Halting City-Funded Bus Service Growth By Ryan Packer via @theurbanist.org

You love Freeway Park, we love Freeway Park, and so let's celebrate its 50th birthday on Saturday, July 4. We're hosting an informal picnic gathering from 11 AM - 2 PM. Bring a chair/blanket and a lunch, and we'll bring the tunes and light refreshments. Please RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Lol. @typewriteralley.bsky.social and I drew a bigger crowd for our tour of historic traffic calming in Seattle.

I’ll say it again, loud, for those in the back: FUCK CARS

“staffers reported that from 2019-2026 transportation costs increased by 46%” Over the same period, bus fares only increased 9%. The Seattle Times is so close to getting it. Transit is the affordable agenda.

Rachel Ligtenberg keeps giving us amazing things

We don’t have to go back *worth noting those cars are also illegally parked anyway

We’re excited to sign onto this asking city council to pass the Mayor’s Transit Measure to: - expand bus service, esp on nights and weekends - double the number of subsidized ORCA cards - and fund transit spot improvements to speed up the bus! Send city council a letter for MORE TRANSIT! 🚌🚍🚎

Well that was a blast! Thank you to everyone who supported the event, and everyone who came — Seattle knows how to have a street party even on a rainy day! And a special thank you to @mayorofseattle.bsky.social for your inspiring words!

Choose your own adventure

Honestly just ban private cars. They fuck up so much.

Transit nerds, urbanists, and safe streets folks 🚲🚍🍻 Join @centralseattlestreetsforall.org for its monthly happy hour TODAY at 6pm at Chuck’s Hop Shop on Union. Come chat transportation, learn what CSSA is working on, meet neighbors, and rant/rave about getting around Central Seattle.

Katie Wilson yesterday to a group of folks who showed up to yell at and interrupt safe streets advocates celebrating Bicycle Weekends: "I'm someone who has very often been on the protesting side of things, so I just want to say to you, your experiences matter, your voices matter."

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

"The monorail is dumb. No one rides that thing"

I'd love to know the businesses opposed so I can let them know that they are on my shit list.

(sound on) The Audi R8 is a cool car, dont get me wrong. But we need some way to penalize noise polluters like this. He's not even driving his car irresponsibly,the car is just a nuisance by nature

Why do drivers pull half way in like this? Now you're blocking the road _and_ make me wonder if I'm about to get run over. I can't see you in your stupid car so I'm literally putting my life in your hands. Can't you wait in the road for 10 more seconds?!

This guy was just completely oblivious. We need ticketing from Citizen-reported videos and I'd singlehandedly handedly make the city millions.

This person almost backed right over us. Zero spatial awareness. If you can't drive your car safely then your license should be suspended.

Presented without comment

A rare sight! A driver realizing that they are blocking the crosswalk and backing up!

The Pike Place PDA will be piloting a "sip and stroll" program this summer, letting select businesses sell alcoholic beverages that can be carried around Pike Place during the Market's pedestrianized hours and special events.

Q: "Where the hell am I supposed to park?" "It will be somewhere else in the neighborhood," Matt says. Pretty good answer, honestly!

Maybe it's the fact that I took a nonconsensual trip on the hood of a car on Friday but I think making a statement like this should disqualify you from public office

Thank you @downtownseattle.bsky.social for fixing this!

Ban cars.

We need raised crosswalks everywhere. A level crossing prioritizes human movement and accessibility, while the physical rise acts as forced friction, demanding speed compliance from motorists. We must stop relying on signs and start relying on physical design.

"We support [urbanist goal], it just isn't right for our specific neighborhood context!" - NIMBYs, for all time, in this case about a project to add bike and scooter parking at the expense of a couple of car storage spaces. www.theurbanist.org/sdot-retreat...

Seattle's only annual open streets festival along the South Seattle waterfront will run every single weekend this summer outside of Seafair. Wilson's changes are a bold reversal of her predecessor's scaling back of Bicycle Weekends. Story: www.theurbanist.org/katie-wilson...

All day for three Saturdays in May and June, one block of Seattle's University Way NE will become pedestrian-only, as a first step toward implementing a goal that advocates have been pushing for decades. Story: www.theurbanist.org/u-districts-...

On three Saturdays later this spring, a central block along The Ave will close to vehicle traffic all day, a test of permanently pedestrianizing the U District's busiest pedestrian corridor. The idea has been envisioned since the 1950s. www.theurbanist.org/u-districts-...

Taller, denser, faster. I was excited to announce at @housingconsortium.org's annual event yesterday that we're going to combine and accelerate Phases 3 and 4 of Seattle's comprehensive plan to achieve more housing near transit and in and around our growth centers.

How long do you think the 2 Line connection line is at Judkins Park on Opening Day in Seattle?

The full 2 Line is OPEN

Holy shit the full 2 Line opens today. It's finally happening.

Everyone stop what you're doing, the Mariners are selling fries, nachos, and fish and chips in ferries now. www.mlb.com/mariners/bal...

A very concrete action that anyone that has any connection to the Rainier Valley can take is to support this project. If you don't have a connection to this project in particular you can send an email supporting traffic management to this email. bsky.app/profile/jroc...

It angers me immensely when a driver stops half way in the cross walk. Extremely antisocial behavior.

This guy was an instant from gunning it on a red even looking at me. No I wasn't in the cross walk yet and yes he stopped, but this is the definition of a crosswalk creeper. Always make eye contact with these bozos but it's sad that you have to.

Here's a piece I wrote explaining my top request coming out of interviews I did for Mayor Wilson's transition -- a clear mayoral directive that ensures that every project that touches our city encourages reduces VMT. Read more 👇

thinking how much safer it would be for pedestrians and cyclists if pike and pine were fully pedestrianized from the market to capital hill.

Just stopped at the little memorial honoring the life of the Lilli. As I was crossing the street just now the pedestrian in front of me was nearly struck by a driver. What’s the plan here, SDOT?
