coming to you live from the east mercer street end on lake washington, which despite showing as a park on my map layer, and as an un-owned right of way on king county parcel viewer, is very very private

i made a little video about recent reporting by @typewriteralley.bsky.social on mayor harrell’s involvement in lake washington boulevard’s safety saga

exactly what i love to see coming back to the hill after 13 hours including work and 42 miles on the bike 🙃🙃🙃

anecdata refuted by this house in greenwood/phinney

fall in streissguth gardens >>>

i see so many of these “better bike lanes” barriers knocked out of place by drivers because sdot can’t find a way to anchor them to the ground

this is textbook trump cadence lol

for my second morning in a row, i’m disappointed that amtrak does not offer a full espresso bar in the lounge car. i’m tired of this shitty starbucks drip

none of these people know they’re about to get kicked off the train at the next stop. why is sound transit so bad at communicating service disruptions? they happen often enough they should be good at it 😭

i see no reason why the bus i’m on shouldn’t be using the shoulder to bypass all this traffic

tonight i just so happened to be pedaling on the elliot way bridge over the railroad downtown as a sounder train rolled out of the great northern tunnel

I made a cheatsheet to help you distinguish btwn Seattle ppl who love housing, ppl who love trees, ppl who love both, & ppl who love NEITHER. If you find yourself accidentally falling for propaganda or getting confused about who is who, just refer here! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

seen across the street from each other in view ridge

your yearly reminder that college kids moving in to their dorms are more important than cyclist safety into one of the largest job centers in the region

mount vernon pedestrianized Pine St! once again small cities in washington absolutely lapping seattle on certain aspects of urbanism

why is amtrak positively incapable of running on time 😭

thrift store find of the day: vintage northgate transit center mug

was the super heavy smoke in north seattle caused by the convergence zone?

have we tried not making sound transit build car infrastructure?

sitting under the aurora bridge, watching the boats go by, thinking about how whimsical and iconic a ballard/queen anne/fremont/SLU ferry route would be

omg subaru brought back the brat!

no ballot box band tonight, but there is a skykomish-based king county sheriff, for some reason 🤔

hey @seattlebikeblog.com @westseattlebikeblg.bsky.social @jeremycole.bsky.social @westseattlebikedad.bsky.social do y’all know anything about this curb cut at the bottom of the avalon bike lane right before the bridge? it’s super unsafe and poorly signed. it needs speed bumps or something similar

in the wise words of @jeremycole.bsky.social: “bicycle touring is not a weight loss strategy”

anyone got rob saka’s address? i’ve got a package to forward

those new airo trainsets can’t come soon enough! all southbound trains from seattle except the first (7:10a) and last (7:50p) are sold out! so now i must replan my weekend :(

hate that our waterfront is a highway but damn does it make for a good parade!

the L8 is L8ing again (the bus i’m on is 19 minutes late and got passed by a bus that is only 2 minutes late)

@seattledot.bsky.social bike lanes team 🤝 @seattledot.bsky.social bus lanes team the inability to put non-car infrastructure through choke points and intersections where it really matters

i have never seen more cowboy boots on the link light rail than tonight… what’s going on folks? 🤠🤠🤠

washington’s climate commitment act is so cool and touches nearly every aspect of life in our state. as much as i love to criticize the shortfalls of our government, this is really impressive! climatecommitment.cleanprosperousinstitute.org

hey that’s me!

well… loose ball bearings aren’t something you want to see when you remove a sealed bottom bracket for inspection 😅

check out the long line of boulders and huge metal gate that seattle parks is using to defend the magnuson boat ramp from nighttime car access. why can’t we use this scale of resources to protect *people* from cars?

hey @seattledot.bsky.social @kingcountymetro.bsky.social can we get a queue jump signal for northbound buses from the new nearside stop outside Capitol Hill Station on Broadway? this operator had to honk in order to get the driver of the car behind them to follow the law and yield for merging buses

trying to use small town transit systems… the route i need runs “7am to 4pm” on weekends but i don’t know if that means the last bus leaves for its loop at 4:00, meaning it should be here any minute now, …or if it means i’m stranded

on top of getting fucking shot at this morning, now my bottom bracket is broken :((( i’m in contact with a mobile mechanic from olympia but if anyone has a lead on a 73/118mm JIS square taper BB in the centralia area lmk 🙃🙃🙃

received my first ever warning shot from a rural hick today! that’ll scare the bejesus out of ya

lockers with chargers has got to be the best hiker/biker site amenity i’ve ever seen! nehalem bay state park near manzanita, oregon

portland is such a beautiful city 🤩

i finally found a photo of me beating the bus across south lake union on a tiny clown bike

the times is celebrating our new waterfront bike path on elliot bay. maybe one day they’ll be able to celebrate a waterfront bike path on lake washington, but it’ll take getting harrell out of office first. that’s why i’m supporting @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social! www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

today i found a high-resolution 1936 aerial map of king county… it’s been a challenge to do my job instead of exploring old seattle kingcounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappv...

enjoying my post-pride-parade lunch on the roof of the cruise terminal. it’s hard to convey how big this thing is… it makes the WSF boats look like toys

wild that a random suburban main street is getting this before the region’s largest daily market that is also a huge tourist attraction. way to go, bothell!

why is there still a drive thru dry cleaners around the corner from the cap hill light rail station that opened almost a decade ago?

in a nasty gas station bathroom in northern idaho… u love to see it

passenger rail spotted in missoula! i sure wish it was a regular option that we could’ve taken here from seattle, but this is just the bnsf executive train

spokane i was unfamiliar with your game! this rocks!
