If this had been proposed at the outset, it would have resulted in a major advocacy campaign that likely would have resulted in a design change. But it was done well after the ribbon was cut on the project, with little recourse for the actual people who use the facility.

Good news, I just received an email from an SPU crew chief that the sewage leak is "stabilized" and the pump and truck will be removed tomorrow.

Nothing says you are a serious organization like accusing other community groups of being special interest groups while complaining that the mayor won't take your calls.

UUs catching strays today

I see a lot of proliferation of non-historic material and elements here to be honest

Follow up question, is this in keeping with the historic nature of the pioneer square historic district

Quick question, is this street working?

The NPS needs to be consistent and seek to remove the 4 wheeled motor driven non-historic elements littering the streets of Pioneer Square or they need to be told to go pound sand.

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.

1/ Much to criticize about Danny's analysis. But instead I'll focus on a useful observation: "The passage of federal tax cuts for the wealthy in 2025 … changed the debate among the local rich" More importantly, what the Trump tax cuts did was create the *fiscal space* for states to raise taxes. …

This isn't a joke -- we need your help to keep Graham Street station from getting axed. Please sign our petition and spread the word.

It really is amazing how there are no new arguments in opposition to bike lanes. No one bikes: false Hills make biking impossible: false (especially with the proliferation of e-bikes) We need the road space for cars: false, this portion of the road is a wide-point www.reddit.com/r/WestSeattl...

How do I get some of these sandwich boards but for drivers going 45 on MLK Jr Way S?

Safe streets advocates aren't mean enough to electeds and executive staffers that ask for and sign off on this tripe.

I really think that people underestimate that part of the reason people like trains is that the worst train station is leaps and bounds better than any average bus stop.

Can you believe that trains just come every 8 minutes to Judkins Park now?

A pregnant mother was killed while riding an ebike after sunset (in an area where LA removed a bike lane bc drivers got mad). The LAT story comments were all about how she deserved it for riding after dark. We marched in the 80s to "take back the night" so women can exist in public after dark

Mercer Island, not beating the allegations

Sound Transit Boardmember, member of the Rider Experience and Operations Committee, @kccclaudia.bsky.social checking out station access problems on Rainier Ave because, you know, rider experience matters.

I think there's probably a generational gap when it comes to the discourse about whether the Link signage should say "To Seattle" or not. Younger people that always use their phones to navigate don't understand that many people a bit older navigate more by memory.

Really appreciate our electeds who took the time to tour the Rainier side of the new Judkins Park light rail today. There's still work to do to make this a safe and comfortable place for people to walk, roll, ride & live and it's going to take all of us pushing and dreaming of something better!

Because I'm weird I recorded them opening the east side entrance and then crossed Rainier to climb up the west side.

It seemed like whatever number of people they planned for, the turnout was double or triple that.

Is the 2 line too successful?

Also thanks to Senator @rebeccasaldana1.bsky.social and Port Commissioner Toshiko Hasegawa for joining us!

Light rail already bringing crime to the island

Advocacy may take a while but it does get results! I-90 ramps at Rainier finally have raised crosswalks and warning lights. @nondriver.bsky.social @jrock08.bsky.social @r343l.bsky.social

If you are out for the 2 line grand opening consider making your way down to Hiawatha Place. It's a fantastic little collections of shops.

Even the mayor has to dodge cars in the crosswalk

It's transit Christmas morning!

The ST opening celebration makes a strong case that transportation bike routes shouldn't go through parks.

Yeah man, that's the juice

lol

Not the point, but can someone ask Elizabeth Warren how she feels about rowhouses and duplexes. Are those "homes" or are they also dirty multifamily dwellings?

westseattleblog.com/2026/03/vide... Read this meeting readout and try to claim this meeting was a good use of staff time.

Too bad, the mountain isn't out

Really feeling like Christmas Eve-eve right now thinking about trains on floating bridges instead of work.

As a seasoned cyclist I don't understand why anyone wants to fix Rainier, my friends didn't have any problems when we biked on it.

I’m going to start saying I live on an unhealthy, incomplete street in a non-home zone part of a high pollution neighborhood.

These meetings have become political rallying cries for opponents and they are treating the professional staff as if they are oppositional elected officials holding a town hall rather than professional staff presenting a technocratic report.

"I *need* to be allowed to kill your friends and family to make my car go slightly faster" is one of those things that seems like it can't actually be anyone's opinion, but it totally is.

We need to stop holding meetings like this, they aren't useful.

Tonight the Pike Place Market historical commission is approving SDOT's temporary vehicle barrier plan for the World Cup. "We've been told by our leadership that they want to make this permanent soon after the World Cup," SDOT's Radcliffe Dacanay just told the commission.

I hope that sports cycling clubs will realize that they are political now and learn something from critical mass

Ebikes, even cat 3 bikes going 25 mph, get like 40 miles (65km) per kwh. All of the arguments for electric cars apply even more strongly and obviously to ebikes for last mile mobility.

Sometimes it's fun to imagine, what if pioneer square wasn't a full pollution neighborhood? What if 1st Ave was for people not cars.

I would legalize housing

It's crazy, it turns out you can elect a competent person for mayor and they'll do good things.
