As she accepted Mayor Bruce Harrell’s concession, Wilson laid out a vision for Seattle with universal child care, free summer care for kids up to the eighth grade, housing for everyone, thriving small business, strong workers rights, healthy food, and β€œmuch more land and wealth to be owned and stewarded by communities instead of corporations.”

Seattle doesn’t operate the bus system β€” that’s King County. No matter. Wilson said she wanted a β€œworld-class mass transit system.”

The disingenuous whiners at the Seattle Times ed board actually suggested that Katie Wilsonβ€”mayor-elect and the founder of the Transit Riders Union (who used to do outreach at the bus stop on Third and Union)β€”doesn't know that the county, not the city, runs the buses. Cry harder, losers

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

If there's one thing I would like everyone over 25 to know, it's that way more of the government is run by the people who just decided to show up to meetings than you realize.

Attend a couple city commission meetings yourself, and they lose a lot of the mystique.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Fed-Up Starbucks Baristas Prep 'Biggest Strike We've Ever Been On’ The coffee chain’s US employees began unionizing four years ago and are still trying to secure a contract.

β€œWe're ready and willing to go on the biggest strike we’ve ever been on,” said Silvia Baldwin, a Philadelphia barista who is one of the delegates representing @sbworkersunited.org in negotiations. β€œIf the company wants to avoid that, they can settle with us today."

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Now that we know this article was a flat out lie and that KUOW refuses to correct the record, it’s time for a full scale campaign of you donors to call or email KUOW and let them know you won’t send them another cent

Auburn mayor knew pastor admitted to child sex crime. She asked for no jail time anyway. Auburn mayor sought no jail time for pastor who admitted to child sex crime.

This is a staggering lack of judgement for someone who has been tasked with public safety in both Auburn and multiple regional positions (like the AWC Board of Directors): mynorthwest.com/seattles-mor...

I know this is a toughie for republicans like Suarez and reactionary centrists like Harrell, but the difference between individual citizens wearing masks and agents of the state wearing masks is that citizens are not required to identify themselves but agents of the state are.

Why would any self-respecting candidate participate in a debate hosted by this unholy coalition? Our candidate forums up north are hosted by HS students and the LWV and even the KIDS don’t act immature like this πŸ™„
