Kshama Sawant and Jill Stein should be spiking footballs. I don’t know if they are - but they accomplished their missions. I’d prefer they didn’t hide it

We went out and saw the GOAT movie, and it is honestly spectacular? I loved it!

The green urbanism of the Vineland city was a real treat, with a big emphasis on shared spaces and culture creation.

Also: automobiles in the movie carried *a lot* of power and prestige, but also alienation.

I understand that this - "We are all here doing our best to represent the needs of our districts" is a polite fiction, but it galling nonetheless. After 24 hours of state Republicans rising to talk about necrophilia (!!!) and generally obfuscate, dither, and make life hell for everyone...

2 dead after early morning shooting in Anacortes | Cascadia Daily News Police are investigating the scene

I've been out of the loop on this - my colleague actually asked me about it after reading the little bulletin in the Seattle Times.

Another murder-suicide in Anacortes. This is on a block where we have friends, our kids have friends. I am really hesitant to find out more.

WAC 173-27-040
Developments exempt from substantial development permit requirement.
(2)(g) Construction on shorelands by an owner, lessee or contract purchaser of a single-family residence for their own use or for the use of their family, which residence does not exceed a height of thirty-five feet above average grade level and which meets all requirements of the state agency or local government having jurisdiction thereof, other than requirements imposed pursuant to chapter 90.58 RCW. "Single-family residence" means a detached dwelling designed for and occupied by one family including those structures and developments within a contiguous ownership which are a normal appurtenance. An "appurtenance" is necessarily connected to the use and enjoyment of a single-family residence and is located landward of the ordinary high water mark and the perimeter of a wetland. On a statewide basis, normal appurtenances include a garage; deck; driveway; utilities; fences; installation of a septic tank and drainfield and grading which does not exceed two hundred fifty cubic yards and which does not involve placement of fill in any wetland or waterward of the ordinary high water mark. Local circumstances may dictate additional interpretations of normal appurtenances which shall be set forth and regulated within the applicable master program. Construction authorized under this exemption shall be located landward of the ordinary high water mark;

clipping from the presentation, because city staff have condensed the relevant WAC 173-27-040, which exempts construction of single-family detached residences specifically.

Shoreline Management Act: Exemptions
Developments that are exempt from requirements for a substantial development permit
Defined in shoreline rules, narrowly construed
Examples (common in Anacortes): normal maintenance/replacement of lawful structures; single family residences and appurtenant structures
site investigations

Tonight, at the Planning Commission meeting: a review of the Shoreline Management Act (state) and the city's required Shoreline Master Program and periodic update.

City staff summary points out that "single family residences" are *exempt* from the onerous protections for shoreline ecology. Hilarous
