Wow 😮

You can't tell me we have to expand the UGB when places like Medina are maintaining 16,000 to 20,000 square foot lot size minimums, cranking up side setbacks, and removing density bonus programs.

Update on S Henderson St protected bike lanes in South Seattle: I checked them out this morning, & the Toronto style concrete mini jersey barriers & concrete curbs all appear to be complete. The bicycle signals are installed & operating but covered up. I think we’re close to them officially opening!

Most of the new trains haven't been rolled out yet. They might have equipment issues (such as a shortage of cabbage cars) that prevent them from being brought aboard on the equipment used for that sector.

Walking through Pike Place Market just now, a confused tourist in a rental car (presumably) rolled up behind a woman standing in the street talking to friends. She yelped with surprise and jumped out of the way when she saw it was right behind her, then said, “I thought this street was car-free!”

We need regulatory certainty

IMO, Airbus should refuse parts and technical support for this operator. And so should NFI group, the parent company of Motorcoach Industries, who builds the D4500 ISTV buses visible in the foreground.

There's a good chance you've flown on this plane, consensually. N630VA was delivered to Virgin America by a lessor in 2007, and flew for VX and Alaska until being returned and re-leased to GlobalX in 2023. It is now being (ab)used by GlobalX to facilitate state-sanctioned human trafficking.

This needs to stop now.

2000/1000 Best thing I've ever had 🤤🥣

Last month, VTA bus ridership was 6.7% higher than pre-pandemic and 7.9% higher than September 2025!!!

OIG analysis of Seattle’s surveillance systems finds gaps in guardrails, activists demand redirection of funds by Hannah Saunders The long-awaited analysis of Seattle's technological surveillance systems, like CCTV cameras, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and the Real-Time Crime Center…

83%!?!?! That's a bigger percentage service increase than Metro's long term plan, Metro Connects, which calls for a 70% long term increase (though our baseline is much higher) This is GOLD, the kind of thing anyone with political wits should be shouting from the rooftops.

The people I look up to and respect build long-lasting, durable support for what they believe in, by consistently delivering tangible wins for their voters. Bus service is a core example. If you care about your constituents, stand up for it, and say it with your full chest.
