In my dream last night I invented a new ferry route between Whidbey Island and the San Juans. I woke up so excited. Also in my dream Orcas island had a new on-demand shuttle to help you get to Moran State park and Doe Bay without the grueling bike ride. A girl can dream.

Brian Heywood's 2 new dangerous initiatives — IL26-001/IL26-638 — threaten the safety of ALL kids, especially trans & queer students, by forcing invasive genital exams on children who want to play sports. Decline to sign these dangerous initiatives. Take the pledge here: bit.ly/WFFDecline

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

School buses are amazing. School bus drivers are amazing! They put up with so much noise and manage chaos.

Car dependency is bad for car drivers, too.

This is completely insane and abhorrent. People will suffer. People will die.

Looking for something to do this Tuesday evening? Why not try a field trip with @eastsideurbanism.org and help push back against dragnet #surveillance in #Redmond? #deflock #alpr #flock #flocksafety

So far, the election of Mayor Wilson has been an excellent demonstration of how institutional Democrats and their wealthy donors try to discredit the real concerns of their voters. It's telling that all their attacks (not a career politician, no car) reveal a deep contempt for their base.

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Believe Women.

We got amazing tickets to the @seattlekraken.com game! My child lost her shoe! I really hope we can get it back during the intermission. Hahaha

Last night was so fun! It was such an honor to have our team from @moveredmond.org inducted into the @transpochoices.bsky.social Hall of Fame! It was also so fun seeing so many wonderful people who make our state better!

I’m married to a @transpochoices.bsky.social transit Hall of Famer! Congrats @kellireef.bsky.social and @moveredmond.org

My unconventional biking in the rain tip: listen to songs that celebrate the rain! Like “I’m only happy when it rains” by garbage or “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedington. Pic to prove I’m very wet at school pick up

"When I say this is your city, that means that you have a right to be here and to live a dignified life, whatever your background and whatever your income. But it also means that we all have a collective responsibility for the city and for each other."

I've seen enough. Congratulations, Mayor-elect Katie Wilson!

I am too impatient for Seattle elections

The whole job *should* be about making our transportation system safe.

Happy Katie Wilson Pulls Ahead Day to all who celebrate

Another interesting note, about 240 ballots that were previously challenged due to signature issues. This suggests "ballot curing efforts" may be having an effect and could even prove decisive. About 1,700 ballots remained challenged, according to King County Elections.

Game 5 of the ALDS has entered the 9,748th inning, the Sounders are in round 3,250 of their shootout and Katie Wilson leads the vote count for mayor by 91 votes. Seattle just doesn’t like knowing results.

Every person you annoyed on Election Day? Time to annoy them again but to ensure their vote counted!

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

When we say every vote counts, we mean it!

I’m just going to go read some essays by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social and drink tea until the foreseeable future.

About to take the best kind of nap: next to a giant pile of laundry on the bed that I have no intention on immediately folding.

My daughter woke up and requested a trip to Pike Place Market. It has been a truly delightful morning. I love Seattle. It is so nice to access the waterfront and the playground isn’t too crowded either!

Arts make a city wonderful! We need affordable cities so people can dance, play music, do theater and make things! We need orgs, venues, rehearsal space and studios. In the past few months I’ve seen ballet on grief, live music that moved me, theater that made me laugh.

We’re on the right track! Make sure you track your ballot to confirm it is accepted, NOT challenged. Check our links in bio to do so! More votes will be counted on Monday!

Claudia Balducci has conceded the King County Executive race to Girmay Zahilay after today's results. However, Balducci will remain on the King County Council and Sound Transit Board of Directors.

Katie Wilson won 54.85% to Bruce Harrell’s 44.86% of the 56,118 votes counted today. She could overtake Harrell at this rate. The next update will be on Monday. Stay tuned!

If you’re not following the Seattle mayor’s race I don’t know if we can be friends

This is the election equivalent of a 15-inning ALCS game jfc

YESSSSSSS. @nicksattele.bsky.social @kellireef.bsky.social @transpochoices.bsky.social

Crosslake light rail update! Via CEO Dow Constantine at today's executive committee meeting: Sound Transit was just granted approval to start running test trains across I-90 during the day, in addition to the overnight testing that had been taking place.

Looks like today will be full of feminist rage and I haven’t even finished making my coffee.

Happy Day After Election Day! If you're one of the thousands of procrastivoters who voted late in the election period, now's a great time to track your ballot at kce.wiki/MyVoterInfo. See an issue in your ballot tracker? Give us a call at 206-296-8683.

I love mail in voting except for this slow burn waiting for the results.

From @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social "Just wanted to let you know we're expecting kind of a packed house, and we might overflow out into the plaza so wanted to give you a heads up to bring a jacket!"

Annoying friends is a critical GOTV strategy today! I just got three people to commit to filling their ballots out and putting them in the box!

Statistically many of your friends haven't voted yet. GO HARRASS THEM.

Washington residents who have not yet voted: Our Secretary of State and local election officials recommend returning your ballot to an official county drop box or in person at a voting center, rather than mailing in your ballot. Recent USPS changes could delay postmarking.

Indirectly on the ballot today: Sound Transit. As many as seven board seats could change hands as the result of local races today, with a bare minimum of two new members joining the board ahead of the most impactful set of board decisions in twenty years.

Every year on the first Thursday of November, St. James Cathedral sponsors a Mass to honor and remember homeless people who've died. The 2025 Mass is 5:30 PM, 11/6. The Cathedral bell will toll one time for each name--335 times this year (for deaths that occurred 10/1/24 thru 9/30/25).
