Half the city asked this of my wife when she was running for mayor of Tacoma. The second pervades or society... Even among self described feminists

My conversations with people at the city is the landlord is terrible and terrible to deal with and he doesn't want the historic preservation. My opinions are that there is nothing historic in that building besides the shape - it's like a 4x Ship of Theseus.

Can you move these walks next year from the 3rd Wednesday of the month? Transportation Commission is meeting and I know at least 2 people who's love to drag their kids along on these walks.

You ever seen those threads on reddit where the question is "if you had been kidnapped, how would someone know but not your kidnappers?" And I wonder if Derek's answer would be obsess over hockey on Blue sky... You ok man?

Also I got told to "get out of the road!" On the way home because we were on a 4-lane (2 lanes E/W + turning lane) and someone was delayed 10 seconds. Gotta love the love in my community

$90 worth of groceries including multiple fries, pizzas, ice cream, mushrooms, peppers, in the soft cooler makes a great ride home from Winco @americanfietser.com

Was this actually a sneak attack? After the Zelensky debacle I hope the SA President was somewhat prepared for this.

Makes it less likely to build large buildings so we force more people into spaces that are already densely forested

Yes! I'm the chair up here in Tacoma. But once you are on, you're not an advocate, you're a leader and coalition builder

At my old job, the guy who threatened union grievances the most always showed up to work in a camo trump hat.

@holz-bau.bsky.social I'm just starting chapter 1 and you have THAT BIG of a page, but someone chose end notes and not foot notes....makes me sad

It certainly is much better than Tacoma's. So frustrating how slow we are moving.

As someone who lives 30 miles south of Seattle, just go to Paris or Copenhagen or NL. Seattle has lots of bike lanes but many of them don't feel safe for average riders

Go to the Rainier's game. Drink a couple beers. Ride your bike home afterwards with a speaker screaming "Take me down to the paradise city!"

I haven't seen it at the Tacoma or Gig Harbor stores. I would've picked it up. I did pick up the barrel aged stout, but I'm still aging that

I was always uncomfortable with 1. Felt off balanced plus we have 2 kids. So now switch off between long tail cargo and trailer behind an analog bike. Kids getting too big for trailer SOON so hopefully they start riding their own

Can you blame them? The Motor Inn in Orting was all full up
