This guy has been repeatedly in trouble for violence and bigotry and he was just put in charge of the Capitol Hill precinct.

No surprise from Harrell. After years of mismanagement of Seattle Police, and a brief interlude of calm, he seems to be reverting to his usual.

VIDEODROME is tonight at 730pm at @siffnews.bsky.social Film Center. Screening in memory of one of Seattle’s most dedicated cinephiles, Bill Kennedy. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Evergreen Playhouse in Bill’s hometown of Centralia.

Seattle deserves real hope, not a nope.

He did the meme

While I agree with you about them moving back. If they want to recreate the environment they had, with HQ in the midst of production, moving it to Everett would be a better choice.

King County public health nurses to rally Sept. 27 King County’s public health nurses should feel valued and supported for their years served.

Seattle King County public health nurses will be holding a rally from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27 outside the King County Chinook Building at 401 5th Ave.

@seattletimes-rss.bsky.social if you're going to publish a long piece about Kirk with a bunch of fluff, how about you add one of his quotes? Or would that disprove all those nice things you said about him?

A graphic with Wilson for Mayor in the upper left, SEIU Local 925 - Stronger Together in the middle, and “This is your city” in the lower right with “your” underlined.

I am proud to have the endorsement of SEIU Local 925, a union of 19,000 education, government, and nonprofit workers. Together we will build an affordable, livable Seattle for all of us. #thisisyourcity

🤣 People ripping down the covering over Banksy's art.

Lets stop being ridiculous, let the world see its beauty.

Voters said they left the town hall much more assured that Smith is also still the best choice to represent his major campaign donors Palantir, Microsoft and Lockheed Martin.

Katie ready for the rest of the race.

Katie with the crowd.

Tonight, we got results that were even better than we hoped, and it’s likely to only get better.

Seattle, you showed up!

It’s clear that voters want change.

This is your city.

Join the campaign, and let’s get this done!

Thousands of Bruce Harrell’s Employees Endorse Katie Wilson Comments on PROTEC17, which represents more than 3,000 city workers, endorsed mayoral candidate Katie Wilson over their boss, Mayor Bruce Harrell, on the steps of Seattle City Hall this morning.

“I'm voting for Katie Wilson because I care about people's health, and also the health of the systems that support us. I want good public transit, more shelters and services for unhoused people, and a budget and taxes that support us workers!” Paul Hlava Ceballos SEIU 925

This should be on a big digital display inside city council chambers. Whenever a councillor has the mic, AI-powered software analyzes their speech and lights up the appropriate sections of the diagram in real time. If "Does Not Exist" has to light up, the speaker gets an electric shock.

If you aren’t already following @rachelwells1.bsky.social, who reports on reproductive health from Tennessee & scooped the story about the woman who was denied care for a pregnancy because she was unmarried, you’ll want to follow her immediately!

S.F. drag club to close as latest victim of Bay Area arts death spiral The famed LGBTQ venue, owned by San Francisco Drag Laureate D’arcy Drollinger, has hosted celebrities from Cher to Jane Fonda and countless “RuPaul’s Drag Race” stars.

Absolutely gutted by the news of Oasis closing. D'Arcy Drollinger & her team built something truly vital to San Francisco’s queer culture—uplifting talent, entertaining endlessly, & giving both artists and patrons a home. It’s hard to imagine the city without it. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

We have an event today on Rainier to press just this point. Join us at the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle parking lot (901 Rainier Ave S) today at 11 to demand a safe Rainier now.

The next time someone complains about progressives using public funding for politically aligned nonprofits, remind them that the Seattle City Council auctioned off the public domain for the benefit of an extreme anti-progressive tax real estate association.

Memorial Stadium Community Open House As we prepare to embark on a new chapter in Memorial Stadium’s rich history, the public is invited for a one-day-only opportunity to visit the stadium and bid a fond farewell, share favorite memories,...

A farewell event for Memorial Stadium will be held Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m., before construction begins on a new 6,500-seat stadium currently slated for completion by the end of 2027.

For those of you who remember, this is the stadium that is in Seattle Center... behind where Fun Forest USED to be. (Still can't believe Seattle Center let Fun Forest leave...)

It’s because they are all for trees in someone else’s backyard. Away from their pristine lawn.

Ah, Seattle natives.

Seattle’s Duwamish River Festival canceled due to ICE concerns The Duwamish River Festival has been a source of joy for Magdalena Angel-Cano since the 27-year-old was a kid growing up in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood. Food, music, dancing, learning and a celebration of the city’s only river, which environmental advocates have worked to restore after severe pollution. But the festival won’t take place this August as planned because Angel-Cano and other organizers have…

It is my elder Millennial curse that I vividly remember the first seven seasons of MTV's Real World (I tuned out after the Seattle season), which was reality TV's first major experiment in "put a group of stupid/unhinged/drunk people in close quarters and see what happens" casting. 1/

'Seattle’s story isn’t finished — but the ending will be the same unless we rip up the old map and draw our own... We must rewrite the map, then defend it — block by block, story by story—until the city finally belongs to all who call it home.'

yes yes this

one seattle is repackaging exclusion

Today at 3PM PT, @tmbg.bsky.social will be performing at KEXP Studios in Seattle!

Audio of the performance will be broadcast live on the radio and at kexp.org, with a YouTube video in the coming weeks.

Seattle PD's backroom coordination with their own federal consent decree monitor was so outrageous, it made its way into a book published by a nationally recognized civil rights attorney who has since gone around the country speaking at schools, book stores, & community halls talking about it.
