It’s time that we ban right turns on red citywide as an initial step towards building a transportation network that prioritizes people.

‘No Reason He Should Have Died’: Alex Pretti’s Parents Open Up

“When they saw the video of their son’s death, the Prettis said they saw their son’s character showing through.

“His last act on this earth, his last thought, was to help this woman,” his father said.

“It’s who he was, every day,” his mother said. “He’s the same Alex he always was.”

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

I don’t care how many bike lanes the Harrell administration finished. Lake Washington Blvd was funded, planned, designed, and constructed entirely under his watch. And it was an embarrassing failure. This is his public safety legacy.

Thank you Bruce Harrell for these beautiful benches on Lake Washington Blvd. I sat here for two minutes about two feet away from 40mph traffic. Only two road raging drivers punish passing other drivers today!

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals.

Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there.

Or it’s creating it.

Either answer is terrible for sports.

I love "discovering things I left in coat pockets six months ago" season.

Absolutely stunning and devastatingly precise reading. Chapeau @redford.bsky.social

having a rooting interest in this baseball game seems very stressful

WHEEEEEEE!

Brendan Carr is limiting free speech the right way.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

shouldn’t the people still on big twitter be happy that the people they hate are all over here on tiny blue sky instead
what are they complaining about

Overgrown plants in bike path

Overgrown plants

I remember when the waterfront planters along the bike paths were going in and a number of us publicly wondered about the landscaping and maintenance and well…

I was going to post about how amazing it was that I can now ride from Beacon Hill to South Park to Georgetown to downtown almost entirely in PBLs. But instead I’ll post this picture of a guy who smashed into the bike lane seconds after I rolled through:

Fully serviceable, and can get replacement parts if they’ve gone past wear point on races / axles.

If you saw me at the Lady Gaga concert…no you didn’t. :)

I waste a lot of time browsing Zillow and don't understand the American preference for larger generic home (3k - 10k sq feet) instead of smaller home with beautiful architecture (1.5 - 3k sq feet)

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

I’m hearing this was a 16 year old boy who jumped off his bike out of the way of a driver who ran over it and then sped away. The boy is apparently without it major injuries thankfully. Feeling both really angry, and grateful some dad still gets to hug their kid tonight

seattle personal behavior in public places / cafes /restaurants is shockingly bad + continues to astound me. not even a book of politeness + etiquette could fix the privilege that I see. no amount of good or gracious costumer service can fix either, it's just bad patron behavior.

More Hi Viz would have def helped here. 🙄

Cats Out Of The Bag.

This was beautiful. And I'm just now realizing how Around The Horn introduced me to several sports people whose voices I appreciate.

ATH = a national treasure and sports talk is lesser for its absence.

I went to @typewriteralley.bsky.social’s profile to find something I wanted to show a friend and then ended up catching up on the news by just continuing to scroll (and like a ton of posts)… 😅
Anyway Ryan is doing important coverage here in Seattle, so check them out!

Went for a walk, looking forward to it.

Planned treats kind of harshed by poor behavior. Multiple smokers 🚬just like hanging out in front of places wafting into stops,multiple dog owners leaving piles of poop 💩 . WTF is wrong with people. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I love Seattle but the people continue to make it hard.
