I voted for this way back in 2008. Great that this is finally opening, but we really need to get better about building these projects faster.

Issue 2 -- Habemus Directores! In this issue: * School Board Elections: A New Hope * The Stranger-Appointed School Board * The Stranger Waged War on Sarah Clark * What We Are Reading All articles in this issue are by Robert C...

There's been a lot of discussion in recent days about the influence of the Stranger in local elections. I had a lot to say about their impact in school board races, which is so decisive that we could say they now effectively appoint the board:

The state party has (not that our electeds listen to the state party).

Build back better died in the Senate. It passed the House. His vote was in the margins and not needed for the bill to pass.

I do not care about Golden’s career, but I do care about having a majority. Losing Golden, and likely Maine’s 2nd district, makes having a majority just that much harder.

How is this costing Democrats seats, other than potentially his own?

Which would have never come up for a vote if Jeffries were speaker.

The most important vote that will happen is the speaker vote. Golden will at least vote for the Democrat, even if he votes against us on everything else. LePage will vote for Mike Johnson.

If we don’t win the majority, we have zero power in the next two years.

There’s one of those on Airport way as well.

We were very overextended after a very strong 2006 and 2008. We held both Senate seats in Arkansas, Montana, West Virginia, and North Dakota - places where even then we were no longer competitive at the federal level. The 63 House seats/6 Senate seats was more of a crashing down to earth.

Elevator only kind of sort of works in Beacon Hill, but this is the busiest station in the entire system.

Including the part in Redmond that’s already operating, right?

Same reason I don’t listen to podcasts. It’s not for lack of trying.

I’m starting to think the 2nd downtown tunnel is not the place to make cuts.

There is no proposal. The board considered it and did not recommend it.

Those jumps (especially the small ones) are extremely popular with little kids (or at least mine). SPS (really football more broadly) can f*ck off.

The Pacific Northwest’s better (and native) blackberry They’re harder to find, but worth the search.

I assume they’re not selling Himalayan blackberry, right? I really hope not. There’s also a native NW blackberry. www.seattletimes.com/life/food-dr...

Hollingsworth is also probably a swing - she’s not as conservative as Kettle/Rivera/Saka/Juarez

All of those new PBLs in SODO & Georgetown along 6th, Airport, & Ellis have made a big difference.

The Northgate bike/ped bridge, the green lake PBL, 3rd Ave NW speed bumps, 83rd & Greenwood stop light, and 6th Ave NW Greenway are all contenders.

Sounder (and ST express 594) beats link on speed. Plus, given that the Ballard-Tacoma Dome line won’t even have a stop at King St Station, passengers may prefer one line over the other depending on their destination.

She’d actually have to lose the primary. It’s hard to lose one in a top 2 state. Especially if the GOP primary is also contested.

This intersection is frankly shit if you’re driving. I don’t even know why drivers put up with it.

It’s really hard to defeat an incumbent from the out of power party in a midterm. Assuming she runs, she will probably win. My guess is she wins 2026 and loses in 2028.

I think we all need to be talking about how nice having a one seat ride on link from UW station to Marymoor will be. We’ll finally be able to take Link from one station to another and ride back entirely on off street bike trails. That doesn’t exist with any other station pair today.

If this even makes it through Pacific County Dems (of course nobody signed their name to this, so I don’t know how credible this is), I, as a sitting member of the WSDCC, will almost certainly vote against it. A well resourced primary challenge likely means no Dem on ballot Nov 2026.

I find it rich that Ann Davison, who became a Republican in 2020 when Trump was first elected, is trying to fundraise by saying she’s helping the city fight Trump 🙄🙄🙄 Vote Erika Adams for City Attorney! #Seattle

Came here to post this myself! Did she renounce her partisan affiliation or is she just hiding it?

Sorry to post again on this but nothing will change unless we persistently, annoyingly demand better.

Two weeks ago the federal workers union urged Schumer to reject the GOP funding bill. Schumer instead led Dems to surrender. And then Trump escalated his attacks. Inexcusable and unforgivable.

Congratulations to everyone who said Trump was "pro-worker," he just gutted federal workers' bargaining rights, tore up their contracts and effectively decertified nearly every federal union. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...
