We all know that things have gotten too expensive, but damn this feels worse than anytime in Covid at this point

What do I have to do to stop getting emails from random Democratic candidates???

The way the day-to-day strain of rapid response starts to seep into the rest of your life, where you can’t really sleep right, can’t really function right, always just thinking ahead to whether tomorrow is the day they get you or do something awful to your friends or neighbors, is pretty terrible

How surprised should I be that a business that tries to block the missing link bike trail also supports ICE?

i like that they couldn't even table the intersection here to prioritize pedestrians and slow cars down

Yup. My department just got the mandate from the Exec because “that’s what he heard on the campaign trail” (from real estate lobbyists?). 64 drop-in desks, 40 computer monitors, and 1000 people that are supposed to be there 2x a week. Apparently math isn’t their strong point.

Heard about a young mom who works at King County Public Health this morning that's struggling with finding childcare and absorbing the costs now that they're going to have have to come in office 200% more than they have for the past 6 years.

Look at this bigoted ass Burien dad calling White Center a "piece of shit"

First walk through Saka's triangle was immediately enhanced with road rage

Looks like I gotta go check out the Saka pedestrian triangle trap tomorrow

I had never really thought about it but yeah the West Seattle Bridge infrastructure is massive and of course it plowed through working class neighborhoods.

Hot take: I genuinely believe Gen X are the ones who have driven bloated-SUV sales the most and that millennials like hatchbacks and vans more

Despite wide public support for the Millionaire's Tax, 30k people have signed CON on this legislation getting its first hearing this Friday, outnumbering those in the PRO column four to one. It's really easy to sign PRO - do it now!

Neighbor looking to gather signatures for Fauntleroy bike lanes if you find yourself at Fauntleroy and Avalon today!

Seattle City Hall right now, where students from around the city have gathered after a mass walk-out to protest ICE:

They have broken through lingering Gen Alpha support at 67,000. We are fully through the meme floors, folks. This is uncharted territory. Our last hope is a stoner rally at 42000. This is not a drill; all bags must go, women and children last!

I hate when my deleveraging quickens

This is how new highways are conceived

I'd love to make a 3D model pre-1968 for this area. It's been a while since I did that via sketchup and Google Earth, curious if anyone has systems that work better.

I'm going to work to recreate the Youngstown neighborhood before it was obliterated by the West Seattle bridge. Curious if folks have recommendations on resources, or perhaps pictures/info they can drop here?

lol hell yeah

In the wake of the WaPo junk ima commit to spending $60-100 a month on quality journalism, who should I include? Currently give to: - The Urbanist - PubliCola - Real Change when I see em Considering: - ProPublica - NPR - Seattle Times?

Cutting my ties with Google as much as possible, finding search.Brave.com to be a good alternative so far for those interested.

Officially old enough where corporations I once worked for are now ceasing to exist

The point of the post is less re: the effectiveness of any mask ban, and more to point out that they are now feeling bold enough to wear *Atomwaffen* gear on the job even after unapologetically murdering people.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Fixing the West Seattle Bridge was a mistake

I love that all of this safety legislation coming out is essentially to undo Tesla's "innovations" which were ultimately just stupid

Redeveloping the California Ave CVS will surely be West Seattle's Queen-Anne-Safeway saga

Applies to Seattle too @chazhutton.com

Who *isn't* in the Epstein files at this point?

Looking for Mayor Wilson to do some cool little quick-hit stuff like this. My advice: Pedestrianize some streets and put a stop sign at Mt Baker Beach (the one Bruce killed). I'll be the first one there posting about it

Ok I need like a clear, interactive website that lets me understand what's in the Epstein files and how they're connected, like in the style of the Stevens Pass avalanche story from a few years ago

Wow I missed this! Exactly what I wanted, things are looking up Milhouse

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Barely 24 hours later and the Pine & 4th temporary bike safety barrier is already nearly a foot out of position. This is unsustainable. @seattledot.bsky.social can we get another work order to restore it before it becomes a significant mobility obstruction and safety hazard?

Dude's got that Alex Jones run

We need hard curb protection on Delridge Way SW like yesterday

There must be a thousand riders in Minneapolis. It's unbelievable how many people turned out.

Everyone needs a dash cam ASAP

Out here at Alki Bike and Board in Admiral neighborhood of West Seattle for another ride in solidarity with Minneapolis and in honor of Alex Pretti. Looks like about 150 here. Let’s go, West Seattle! #fuckice #alexpretti #reneegood

Critical Mass Seattle organized a unity ride for Alex Pretti where Seattle’s cycling community truly came together. Over a thousand people turned out with a clear message: Fuck ICE.

The answer is for WA to become the anti-MAGA. Invest in higher ed, not cut it as Gov. Ferguson wants. Fund the research and health care that Trump and DOGE cut. Hire all the scientists and experts looking for a good job in a good place. Build a lot more housing so people can afford to move here.

Seattle's Critical Mass Unity Ride for Alex. Biggest impromptu ride I've been a part of :O

Incredibly large Seattle Critical Mass tonight in remembrance of Alex Pretti

Pulled down my previous post as Easy Street's owner issued an apology, you can see it here

Wish I could be there tonight but broken elbow and sick kids have me locked down, good riding to everyone! 6:30 pm at Westlake tonight

Answering call from his Minneapolis bike shop, Critical Mass will ride for Alex Pretti Friday + Alki and 9 other WA communities ride Saturday #SEAbikes #Seattle

So I've biked in West Seattle for a couple decades now, and I think I've now fully realized... I do not like riding my bike in West Seattle
