@seattledot.bsky.social Can you have the Graffiti Response Team fix this spray paint?

Yeah, I often give myself a really simple mission (get out the door, or 1 loop around the hood) and that is all I need to go for a while.

Yesssssss

A bar in an existing grandfathered corner store zone should create a cocktail called "recipe for disaster."

Being the only transit rider at a transit related press event continues to be incredibly demoralizing when I wish it was embarrassing for the transit agency involved.

I took my first bike ride down the new northwest section of the waterfront trail.

I wish they had done that on the southeast section, we could leave the tetnus trench for the trike super heros (complementary). #seabikes

It is unpleasant to exist in.

Corner 🎆 Stores 🎇 Everywhere 🧨

Yep, Juneau is more reasonable. That’s what I do when I’m cycling with my partner. They also have no interested in that ridiculous block of Graham.

A sunny, mostly blue sky day. In the distance, a steep hill covered in trees rises from left to right, climbing out of frame. Left side a 2 track gravel trail proceeds directly ahead, on the right, a bank with a variety of trees, and separating the two a wide, glassy smooth river, green like all its surroundings

A month ago I was biking here, along a bike trail north of Winlaw BC, Canada.

This, but as a bumper sticker.

We beat the bus yesterday, but isn’t it time we elect someone who regularly rides transit?

Mine was that’s it’s bad to inconvenience car drivers.

Now I know if I’m inconveniencing them, they see me, which is the most important thing.

I take the lane when there isn’t room for them to safely pass.

JUST ANNOUNCED: Sound Transit says that it expects to be able to open Federal Way Link earlier than expected. The 3-station line had originally been set to open in early 2026.

Moving up Federal Way will pave the way for a full 2 Line opening by spring.

I hadn’t realized how tall they will be. Yeesh.

West Seattle gives and gives.

If I’m feeling stronk I head to 26th and up Snake Hill (Brandon to 30th) but if I want something reasonable I take this to Avalon.

Visually:

youtu.be/GKrTtR-bs1s?...

Nope.

This route works as follows:

1. Come off the bridge westbound.
2. Turn left immediately and travel down Marginal Place
3. Go to the new crosswalk at W Marginal Way, cross.
4. turn left on the sidewalk and follow it to the Alki Trail.

I want them to fix that as well, but I don’t use it anymore, there is a safer route.

The most recent round of folks talking about using llms for coding has boiled down to one thing for me: I’d like to learn more about teaching folks to read code and change requests.

I’ve taught people to make better change requests but my skills at reading them are a result of doing it a lot.

Glad to hear it!
