Congratulations Seattle Times for a clean sweep in the 2025 election—for mayor, city attorney, and city council, all of your endorsed candidates lost!

Ugh wtf

When you tape them up maybe run a strip of packing tape over the code? So people can't just scratch it off?

Talked to a -lot- of folks at my tech office job today who were really excited about her winning

Great, I'll be watching this at home so I can split it over 2 days

Either way I think I'm done supporting cascade. I'll turn my donation dollars to other orgs like Seattle neighborhood greenways.

I really can't be over-emphasized how bad Harrell was.

He's almost single handedly made nearly every important policy category worse. Name a category and it's almost trivial to name something he messed up badly.

And on the flip side, he's done virtually nothing positive.

Robert should have used a more recent photo when he really just looks old and worn out.

This 7 year old photo looks almost young and full of life

Only democratic mayors for nearly 60 years. But it's a big party, and the last several elections have had the much more moderate dem winning the general

Can anyone confirm if now is the time for hope?

Congrats, Katie! We can't wait either!

Congratulations to Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

I’m looking forward to working together in building a city that is affordable, safe, and thriving for working families!

Wilson's up 1,346 votes.

This race is likely over.

1,346 votes ahead!

she passed 50%!

Nearly 1,100 days after safety advocates painted a guerrilla crosswalk at Harvard Ave E and E Olive Way (and SDOT washed it off), there is now a permanent crosswalk here.

if you get photos of the group, be chill about it. don't make people ride through an area twice, or have them stand around for too long.

been on a couple group rides where it almost felt more like promotion than a ride.

This is the chaos I want in my life.

yeah it's tough since it's really just garden variety racism at its core. but it feels like the specific claim has been popping up and I'm not sure where it's from either.

maybe some quote from a prager U video, or just an evolved meme passed through nextdoor & comment sections.

i think part of it was vance when he said "you have got housing that is totally unaffordable because we brought in millions of illegal immigrants to compete with Americans for scarce homes."

map of seattle showing a range in different noise levels for neighborhoods. especially noisy areas include: south central seattle, central district, and along every major road.

I've got another one: inequality and health outcomes. here's a map of seattle's noise distribution. The quiet areas are quiet by design - but they're also the most wealthy and white.

When "Louder" is conflated with "dense" often a whole lot of other stuff comes along with it.

this doesn't show zoomers. Elder millennials are in their early 40's not 50s.

this is millenials, gen-X and Boomers

Good reminder that the @seattletimes.com is full of reactionary garbage.

and you'd run the regional trains with light rail? I completely agree. feels like a better way to spend limited resources is to make sure everything runs on really tight headways in the core, and then it can drop down to ... idk every 15 minutes to get down to federal way.

Republicans oppose Obamacare???

Thanks I'll make sure my casually tossed of complaints about conspiracy theorists are more verbose and accurate next time

Democrats- :heavy sigh: -in disarray.

Pretty important little gap there for layoff data...

This race could very easily be decided by challenged ballots. Use this link to track your ballot, and remind your friends and family to do the same: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon
