Seattle, we gotta elect Katie Wilson! Her leadership style is everything we need to take our city into its next chapter. We have been spinning our wheels on too many major issues for too long. This is how we move forward. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/10...

Streets are the largest public spaces in modern society. Surrendering them for the sole use of cars allows maintaining the right of way to be used as pretext to suppress lawful assembly.

If you saw a headline about NYC potentially losing two big transit projects "because of the government shutdown," know this: 1) it's bullshit, and 2) ending the shutdown on the Trump administration's terms would be terrible for transit *all across the country*, and very likely in your community. 🧵

Disinformation thrives without data No jobs numbers = the economy isn't struggling! No food insecurity data = people are fed! No education research = defunding and threatening schools doesn't hurt kids! No public health studies = our policies aren't making people sick!

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Thank you @theurbanist.org @seattletru.bsky.social @sngreenways.bsky.social @transpochoices.bsky.social and every volunteer and advocate fighting for better mobility, connection, and safety on our streets. This is a shared win and something to celebrate.

We had some great discussions about accessibility and safety during our #WeekWithoutDriving Walk & Talk tonight!

But one headline here is what isn't changing, for example ST is going to keep running the 577 and 578 to Federal Way. ST is keeping the 545 to Redmond.

Here are the proposed changes to ST Express routes planned for next fall after Federal Way and East Link are open. Biggest changes: terminating the 574 at Fed Way, the 556 at Bellevue, the 522 at S Shoreline. Eliminating the 515, 550, 554, 580, 586. Increasing service on the 535, 513.

Now I am car free because I fall into the “obsessed with biking & public transit” category, but I didn’t start out that way. When I moved to Seattle in 2009 I worked many part time jobs at once retail, teaching yoga, nannying. I couldn’t afford car insurance or maintenance. #WeekWithoutDriving

“Altogether, that represents a staggering 36 percent of the U.S. population; only 25 percent of total transportation infrastructure spending, meanwhile, flows towards transit, biking, and walking.” It is time to rightsize our transportation budgets to meet the needs of people. #WeekWithoutDriving

Actually, now is the perfect time for hope and passion! It is the antidote to fascism. Also, claiming @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social is inexperienced is way off base! She has over a decade of making policies come to fruition through coalition building, hard work and pragmatism.

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

#WeekWithoutDriving Day 3: I dropped my daughter off at school on our cargo bike then rode home to switch bikes to one that can fit on the bus. It was a tight timeline to catch the bus I needed to get to my meeting on time, biking helped. Biking also speeds up errands like running to the bank.

For #WeekWithoutDriving @moveredmond.org is hosting a walk & talk starting at the Senior and Community Center to the Light Rail Station. We will bring together elected leaders, agency staff and community members together to talk about first/last mile connections. Join in:

On the Gaza flotilla live stream, one by one, boats are intercepted by IDF & blasted with water cannons until comms are jammed & the feed for each boat goes down. Israel is illegally kidnapping civilians on international waters, & they're preventing the world from witnessing.

I can't believe how much media coverage #WeekWithoutDriving has been getting this year -- to show the breadth of it, mapped out where stories where coming from this week so far. You can view the interactive map here: www.google.com/maps/d/edit?...

I can’t wait to take my daughter! #EveryoneWatchesWomensSports

Great advice for all voters - return directly if possible: “To ensure that your ballot counts this year, it’s vital that you return it using a drop box so that it goes straight to your county elections office” #waelex

This is a very bad ruling for all of us who value the First Amendment.

The Trump White House continues to take unprecedented actions to condition federal transportation assistance on states & localities bending the knee to the White House's vision of what is constitutional or not—even though the White House has no power to declare what is constitutional.

Seattle parents, where are you getting kids rain boots? Ideally from a store where we can try them on. The rubber ones that are open on top end up getting filled with water b/c my kid is a puddle jumper, so I want some that could cinch closed.

New bicycle design just dropped. It features one wheel in front and four smaller rotating wheels in the back and some sick handlebar geometry. Was this a bedtime stall tactic? 💯 Did it bring me joy and get her ANOTHER tuck in? Yes, of course.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

#WeekWithoutDriving Day 2: I rode the 594 to Line 1 and walked home. It was honestly a smooth transfer. I love our regional express buses. I was able to catch up on email and relax. In about a half hour I will ride my ebike to pick up my daughter for school.

Kicking off #WeekWithoutDriving with a bunch of transportation nerds in Tacoma! I took the 594 down yesterday and we need to have bus priority for I-5 detours. Let’s really incentivize transit use during construction periods !

Are you a PNW voter who usually returns your ballot via U.S. Mail? Switch to a drop box to ensure it counts this year! Do not return your ballot through the United States Postal Service -- there's a real risk it won't receive a timely postmark.

Cartoonist Jesse Duquette honored the guy who escaped ICE on his bike with a new cartoon.

🚶‍♀️🚲🚍 The #weekwithoutdriving Challenge has officially kicked off! We’re excited our Redmond City Council candidates are taking part 🙌 Watch their full transportation interviews on YouTube and learn how you can get involved during #weekwithoutdriving at moveredmond.org/weekwithoutdriving

Talking with my child about K Pop Demon Hunters and one of her take aways is that we shouldn’t rely on a few heroes to fight evil, we all need to work collectively to fight evil. Anyway, I think she found the secret to defeating Fascism.

Currently reading a sapphic romance about a woman who has been cursed to run a seasonal Halloween store in a small town and disappears the rest of the year. Her love interest is in charge of making the haunted house to fund HS theater. It is proving a great way to spend a Saturday night. #Booksky

🚨 ACTION ALERT: Secretary Duffy’s DOT says bike lanes are “not in the public interest” – and is canceling hundreds of millions in grants for biking, walking, and trail projects nationwide. Take action: bikeleague.org/action-center

You’d almost think that part is intentional.

I love #WeekWithoutDriving because it highlights the improvements we need to make for people who take transit and walk and bike!

Forgot one: “Demand that your local leaders build complete networks of sidewalks and protected bike lanes.”

If you don’t want the school closure plan to come back, if you oppose austerity and want to support students in the classroom, vote this fall for Sarah Clark @sarahforschools.bsky.social, Joe Mizrahi @joemiz.bsky.social, and Vivian Song @viviansong.bsky.social. They’ve proven they’ll fight austerity

Happy new bike day to me! I feel so lucky to have won it at the Eastrail Fundraiser last week and then get to ride it on such a lovely Fall day!

Let’s do big things! Vote @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

A local travel influencer posted that now is the time to book WA state park reservations for next Summer. I have to say this is another reason I love bike camping, I can make plans closer to when I actually want to go. It is easier and more flexible.

The actual Rapture that’s happening in our society

Local bike shops are infrastructure. Without them we cannot have thriving bicycle cultures.

Which consultant told him this was a good idea

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Seattle friends, if you cancelled your Disney+ subscriptions, use this as a great opportunity to support @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social - they are awesome!

If you are feeling bummed about politics I highly recommend attending an event where you get to hear @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social give a rousing speech and then go see Suffs at 5th Ave theater!

Council votes to keep ignoring Seattle's housing crisis #SEAbikes #Seattle

I sure wish there were more public bathrooms at regional transit hubs. I guess I’ll just buy a coffee I don’t need so I can go pee.

We need leaders who are willing to transform our public environment to work for the people who live here. Over 10 years ago I went to an amazing open house about this area with childcare, food, translation services and the project never moved forward. We need the political will to do big things.
