We out here #2line #soundtransit #furrieslike2rail @jigglebonezad.bsky.social @solarpunkdog.bsky.social

Multimodal infrastructure is antifascist.

It's hard to even imagine what today would have looked like if none of the stations on the Eastside had been open for two years already.

Well, it makes me pretty happy to get to say I was on the first eastbound train to cross the bridge, wedged in between the Mayor of Seattle and the Mayor of Bellevue.

People want the damn trains

he clearly wants to be asked about it local media should oblige him

Feels kiiiiinda against your own self-interest to troll your new home's fans like this? But I'm not a professional baseball player

"The truth is, everybody knows that Freeman is a bit of an OCD, neo-Bircher nutcase with a Christ-like devotion to the automobile and a penchant for equating mass transit with communism, so isn’t it time that serious people started taking him and his anti-rail conspiracies at face value" I am dead.

Because I have a two year old daughter: 🎶It's a beautiful day for a ride on the train! A beautiful day for a train ride! Would you be mine, Could you be mine, Won't you be my light rail. 🎶

A lot of my work the last few months has been behind the scenes, but there's a lot happening in the next ~2 weeks that is very public & I'm very excited to be finally able to show off what I'm actually doing. So thankful to my team, friends, & advisors who have helped the org grow.

Friday, May 1st from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. More information on logistics is available in the link from the 1st post. We're asking everybody to RSVP below. We hope you'll join us for this much needed exploration of complete streets & transportation safety. (5/end) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We're honored to be working with @bvuetrans.bsky.social to bring you a Tour of Bellevue's Complete Streets! In 108th Ave NE and 130th Ave NE, Bellevue already has world-class examples of multimodal infrastructure that keep people safe & moving. (1/x) completestreetsbellevue.org/2026/03/26/c...

Reducing lanes reduces speeds. Let’s do both!

This is cool: these @simplyseattle.bsky.social shirts are on every seat in the @mariners.com clubhouse. #TridentsUp #SeattleMariners #SeattleSports

Something I've been thinking about is how safe streets advocates are treated as hysterical and dramatic for pointing out that drivers should stop killing us, yet the people fomenting a moral panic about e-bikes are treated as reasonable and their concerns are taken seriously.

Politicians want an imaginary world where everyone comes to consensus. Advocates need to make it clear that that consensus won't come from delaying, cancelling, or watering down projects.

In just one week, Redmond City Councilmember Jessica Forsythe and I can take @sound-transit.bsky.social light rail to see each other! The Crosslake Connection won’t just bring together the 1 line and 2 line, but will also bring together friends, colleagues, families and more. See you March 28th!

Guess who knows how dangerous car drivers are in Bellevue You guessed it. The motorcycle people. In front of Kawasaki dealership, concrete blocks looking like an anti-tank line. Bellevue could do more with speed and design to get more walkers out here.

Please come if you have an interest in Eastside transit - we need to hear from you now!

Geno with the winning RBI is about as perfect as I would've wanted

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.

GENO SUÁREZ YOU BEAUTIFUL KOALA MAN

Please, Geno...

Happy "ST announcement on the 2 Line finally pronounces Wilburton properly" day to all who celebrate (me, I'm celebrating)

Our friends at the Sustainability Ambassadors calculated students' emissions on their school commutes, and the results are fascinating. We're so lucky to have caring students in our community who are doing this work! Check out their findings here:

Thank you to Eastrail Partners for joining the SAFE Bellevue coalition! Our world-class trail infrastructure will be made even better when our connecting streets are safe & accessible for *everyone*. We're happy to be working together to make this vision a reality. Join us: safebellevue.com

Doesn't make up for the good will lost when they objected to Bike Bellevue because Kevin Wallace and KDC told them it would be scary and bad

Ok I decided to pull the video.

Bellevue plans speed limit reductions on most city streets + Take their survey #SEAbikes #Seattle

What the actual fuck

I will sign this version of the Millionaires' Tax. A new proposal from Rep. Berg ensures significant money goes to Washington families and small businesses. I’m pleased that a policy close to my heart is included: Free school lunch and breakfast for all Washington students.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

NEW! Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is now Seattle Streets Alliance. streetsalliance.org

Just got word that the Tacoma planning commission advanced a motion to fully eliminate parking mandates citywide at their meeting tonight, by a 8-0 vote with one abstention. If implemented, Washington's second and third largest cities would have both beat Seattle to eliminating parking mandates.

My grandfather was the mayor of Cape Canaveral, FL for like 20 years

I'm listening into this meeting and am quite frustrated by what I'm hearing from callers; "why punish the 95% of good drivers by making them drive slower?" People have died here numerous times.

In this edition of our newsletter, hear some updates on the SAFE Bellevue coalition, take a City of Bellevue survey on lower speed limits, check out a partner action from Futurewise, and more! Thank you for caring about what's going on in Bellevue! mailchi.mp/86a94952a892...

The sky really emphasizing the *all* in ACAB

Congestion charges have been enacted in quite small cities in the UK, notably Durham (population 50,000) and Oxford (population 165,000). The assumption that congestion charges are only for cities on a New York / San Francisco / Philadelphia scale is not necessarily correct.

Washington’s budget has actually declined by 60% overall. Even though the state’s yearly budget grew from $22 billion to $37 billion (adjusted for inflation) over the past 30 years, it didn’t keep up with our state’s capacity to invest. Learn more: opportunityinstitute.org/blog/post/wa... #WALeg

It is difficult to keep calm when reading outrageous speeches like these.

I have been a member of this committee before and would be happy to answer questions! It is absolutely worth your time

Bellevue has a new survey about their Safe Speeds work! Building off a pilot to lower speeds on four arterials this past year, the city wants to expand the program citywide but needs your feedback! Learn more and share your thoughts below:

Today, something happened in the City of Sacramento. The beginning of something exciting. Language was filed with the city for a ballot measure to raise sales tax 0.5% to fund safe streets and transit infrastructure. It's gonna take everyone to get this passed, but together, I think we can do it. 🚲🚌

Bellevue is adding speed cushions on several slow streets throughout the city, and staff want your feedback! Share your thoughts on common-sense measures to slow people down on streets like Main St, 156th Ave, Allen Rd, and more!

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.

The formers in Bothell tried to brand us the same way. It's what people who have no actual argument that resonates with voters do. Just flail around making stuff up in public comment. It's embarrassing for them, especially with the repudiation they got from Woodinville voters a few months ago.

I’ll be there with @deutski.bsky.social !!!

Still thinking about KUOW's Week in Review Friday, where former city attorney Ann Davison downplayed the role of alcohol in traffic fatalities and Sandeep Kaushik framed a 0.05% BAC level as "nanny state" (but surveillance cameras around the city that could be accessed by the federal gov are not).
