I know this is a toughie for republicans like Suarez and reactionary centrists like Harrell, but the difference between individual citizens wearing masks and agents of the state wearing masks is that citizens are not required to identify themselves but agents of the state are.

Thank you @theurbanist.org @seattletru.bsky.social @sngreenways.bsky.social @transpochoices.bsky.social and every volunteer and advocate fighting for better mobility, connection, and safety on our streets. This is a shared win and something to celebrate.

if you have nothing left but to criticize your opponent for inspiring hope with their passion and great ideas…… you’re cooked, man. it’s over.

The policy change is bad, but the actual justifications provided by SDOT here are more worrying to me.

Pike Place Market is rethinking its streets — less room for cars, more space for people. 🚶‍♀️🚲

@kenjilopezalt.bsky.social + @nerd4cities.bsky.social share how the Limited Car Access Pilot is reshaping the Market + what it could mean for Seattle’s future.

Seattle renters - who make up the majority of the city - identifying areas of the city they're systemically excluded from living in and pushing for change is Good Actually

While renters are "growth" that must be "mitigated" by requiring every part of the city to accept a fair share of them, house owners are "community" who deserve a veto over whether and how anyone else can live near them

Amendment 102 will not protect the urban canopy – and in fact may do the opposite Seattle needs more affordable housing AND trees. Help us convince the Seattle City Council to do both by opposing Amendment 102, which makes new housing much more expensive and worsens existing inequi...

in fact, i would go so far as to say that, of all the Best Desserts I listed, that chocolate cream pie is my all-time favorite dessert. I could eat it every day.

I cannot emphasize this enough: you have not had my chocolate cream pie.

started combing through other folks' lineups and everyone else I saw who added a cookie category also chose chocolate chip, so I guess the obvious answer is it wasn't included because there's no contest 🙂

last night my roomie and i watched from our balcony as a cybertruck slow-motion crashed into our neighbor's fence then drove half a block up the sidewalk to turn onto 15th

playin joni in the bookshop and everybody in here quietly sung, hummed, or whistled along to You Turn Me On, I’m a Radio 💕🎵

i have been agonizing over my answers but

pie: chocolate cream
ice cream: maple walnut
donut: raspberry old fashioned
bar: nanaimo
cake: confetti
why isn’t cookie on this list: chocolate chip
other: pistachio rose cremosa from Lands of Origin at pike place (go get one tomorrow)

every person who showed up to voice opposition has done more today for public safety in Seattle than the proposed surveillance expansion ever would.

The zesty jumble argument is baaaack! www.seattletimes.com/opinion/pike...
Reheated as: "Its lively and gritty mix of pedestrians, cars and delivery vans has existed since its founding and was deemed vital to the Market’s continued health and survival." 🙄🙄🙄

Some people clearly miss these scenes 📷

James Dobson getting the great spanking in the sky rn 😇🙏🏻

this has been going on too long for me to be the first person to complain about it, but after the Ross on 3rd and pike stopped blasting Journey to deter crowds from forming at the bus stop, they instead started looping an ear-splitting, ringing frequency which is psychologically torturous to endure

I really am deliriously proud of this one. I’m so inspired by all of the brilliant artists who put their heads and hands and hearts on it, including some very old friends. What an honor. We had a beautiful opening weekend, please come see it before it’s over.

Charges dropped in deadly Seattle arson; defense cites ‘racist misidentification’ Police found "an Asian male with dark hair and a (similar) name and deemed it sufficient to move forward with life altering charges,” the defense wrote.

A commenter mentions the case last week where a person was mistakenly held by SPD due to CCTV footage. He was in jail for several days before being released.

Katie Wilson now has 50.7% in the Seattle mayor's race; incumbent Bruce Harrell has 41.2.

AND, in the latest batch of votes that were counted (late votes, generally younger/more progressive), Wilson has 58% to Harrell's 35%—the earliest mail-in votes were the most pro-Harrell.

Get the word out, vote version Cs
