I swear last time I went (which was a while ago) they had an all ages section.

He also offered only one out of the hundred plus amendments. And it was suggested by a constituent.

A whole lot of Seattle council members are convinced you can’t build on hills. Maybe they should walk around Capitol Hill or Queen Anne sometime.

More troubling is she said she thought they were just going to defer to what the district CM wanted. That is a failure at her job as a citywide representative.

I just listened to Alex on the Week in Review and he said the most important thing the comp plan can do is protect trees, not help house people. And just like most NIMBYs he said he was pro dense housing and then was opposed to every form of housing being built.

Guys please come to the comp plan hearing Friday, I’m begging you besties

I didn’t stick around to find out, just long enough to see he was okay. He was speeding and I’m guessing either impaired or distracted. Airport way is not some confusing or hard road to navigate.

That is me…

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:

ST wastes a lot of money by separating security and fare enforcement. They have tons of security standing around doing nothing, and a separate and meek fare enforcement crew trying to get people to pay. I have watched people wad up their warning in front of the enforcement folks who did nothing.

For some reason @seattledot.bsky.social has geofenced the streets of Yesler Terrace so bike share bikes lose most power just as you hit the hills. Meanwhile the cars are all going 25+. I with SDoT didn’t see bikes as a bigger threat than cars.

Another great parking job by @seattledot.bsky.social, blocking the entire sidewalk next to the light rail station. It’s telling about their priorities.

Overheard on Beacon Hill: “You can’t drive downtown anymore because of all the bike lanes!” and “Bike lanes make it more dangerous for bikers.” Of course said by someone who probably hasn’t rode a bike since they were 7.

We should be afraid of long curb cuts and parking in the front setback. They kill the street and make it more dangerous for people walking, rolling, and biking. And it adds no density. Park on the street or in the alley.

Top contender for prettiest street in Seattle. Unfortunately also for prettiest AM only parking lot in Seattle.

I want to know the last time Duffy rode a bus or train. Transit has lots of problems, but it’s people who never use it who seem to have opinions like that.

Also the people who live along Cheasty Boulevard will be surprised to know that no one lives along it.

They’re not the tastiest berry but they won’t kill you for sure. My kid puckered hard when he ate one!

We have no trees on our property (our backyard is townhouses) but live on a tree lined street (15th Ave S) and it’s wonderful. We have beautiful trees outside our window and a shady front yard. CM Moore doesn’t know what she’s taking about.

Here is the alternative to urban development. Tree activists trying to stop new infill development aren’t just anti-housing, they’re anti-tree.

My heart goes out to folks like you willing to bare witness to such horror.

Have all the shops gone out of business yet or just most of them?

What @nondriver.bsky.social said a thousand times over. Let's get rid of the "passing lane." Use it for a bike lane, turn it into parking, fill it with rocks. Let's make it harder to speed along a street that is a light rail corridor and that cuts the Rainier Valley in two.

Why IS the Virginia Inn Closing, Though? “First and foremost, the PDA has worked diligently with Virginia Inn for nearly a year in hopes of finding a path forward—we did and do not want them to leave the Market. The Pike Place Ma...

It seems more complicated than originally presented: www.thestranger.com/food-news/20...

Does it go straight to the Governor's desk or do the house and senate versions need to be reconciled?

I think you meant to tag @holz-bau.bsky.social (Michael Eliason)?

It’s the bus lane / express lane for A holes. If only we had a technology that could solve this.

I just heard @markusja.bsky.social giving a great presentation before the Washington Building Code Council on how to make it cheaper and easier to build middle housing. He did the job they seem unable to do despite being told to by @davina425.bsky.social, @jessdbateman.bsky.social, and others.

But don’t worry, they did find a way to geofence Jefferson Park so you can’t ride a bike share bike through it.

I believe Ed Weinstein calls them building dandruff. Sounds about right to me.
