There Was Nothing Unusual About Seattle’s Election, or the Results There was nothing odd, wrong, or suspicious about Seattle’s election results. They sure felt slow, but they weren’t. Someone tell that to outgoing Mayor Bruce Harrell and Seattle Police Officer’s Guil...

Don't listen to Mayor Bruce Harrell or SPOG President Solan - the electoral process worked exactly as intended.

My first formal remarks as mayor-elect: When I say, “This is your city,” I mean you have a right to be here, no matter your background. But I also mean that we have a collective responsibility to this place and each other.

This Statement of Legislative Intent requests the Office of Sustainability and Environment (OSE) to include evaluation of replacing parking in the City's right-of-way with trees in the development of OSE's Tree Canopy Equity and Resilience Plan (Plan) with such factors as estimates of capital and operating costs, trade-offs in terms of vehicle movement and parking capacity, strategies for reducing conflicts with utility infrastructure, and identification of locations in Seattle most suited/ready for replacing parking with trees. This SLI requests that OSE's Urban Forestry Team collaborate with City departments (Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle City Light, Seattle Parks and Recreation, Seattle Department of Transportation, Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections, and Finance and Administrative Services) to consider measures akin to those proposed by the City of Paris, France. The 2024-2030 Paris Climate Plan set a goal of replacing 60,000 parking spaces with street trees.

A budget amendment from Alexis Mercedes Rinck asks the Office of Sustainability and the Environment to study the replacement of on-street parking spaces with trees.

I wonder if we'll ever get the memo that roads designed for high speeds allow for high speeds, and thus high speed accidents

Our illustrious council president is now going after our most mild-mannered, go-along-to-get-along councilmember. I'm sure that will go well for her.

Literally the worst. She’s actually a cartoonish villain

Hollingsworth says she wants to allow Rinck (who has been raising her hand forever) to speak, but she doesn't want to overstep. "But you are overstepping," Nelson tells Hollingsworth.

I’ve seen enough.

Sara Nelson needs to be taken down next election, no matter what.

This type of conduct is the cancer of public service and must be given no quarter.

Do not patronize Fremont Brewing.

Post flyers advocating its’ boycott.

Un-elect this corrupt bully at all costs.

Proud of this little act of resistance inspired by #seattletroublemakers and made with care in Seattle by an all-volunteer cast & crew. Big thanks to @alexwinter.com for the most excellent narration! And @laceyleavittgray.bsky.social for asking me to direct! 🙏 #teslaregretsyndrome #crewtopia
