I thought the Nelson/Harrell gap was shockingly wide...almost 12 points?!?

At least in my circles, Wilson's lack of experience as an elected official was a concern. Many people who are not deeply connected to independent media/bluesky seem to have only neutral/slightly negative approval of Harrell.

They did not

I know I’m missing one of the greatest baseball games of all time but at least the Decemberists with the Seattle Symphony is very, very good.

Storm rainfall totals for this atmospheric river have eclipsed an inch from Seattle southward. As usual the mountains are quite effective at ringing out additional moisture from these moist vapor streams.

It will be a bit windy this morning, peaking around 10-11 AM around Seattle.

You really couldn’t time this any worse for trick or treating if you tried…

Friendly reminder to tell your kids that M&M packaging is not waterproof.

My brain is playing some serious tricks on me trying to figure out which ones are moving cyclonically vs. anti-cyclonically.

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? (and maybe a little nauseating)

The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

Damn you Freddie I wanted to see Ohtani get on base for the 10th time!!!

There's the tie for the record.

Such a treat to watch the greatest player in the history of baseball at his peak. And it still might not be enough to win this game!

Precipitation anomaly forecasts for the next two weeks look wet in the PNW.

A big part of this is another potent frontal system expected Friday — so trick or treating might be a repeat of last year for many.

A dropsonde released by NOAA started with southerly winds and ended with northerly winds, implying the dropsonde made it approximately halfway around the eyewall from when it was released to when it hit the ocean. That is some incredible movement.

Low pressure center incoming. Winds will continue to pick up, peaking in the 9-11 pm range in the central Sound.

Every fall there comes a time in the PNW when the firehose gets turned on. Let it be known that Friday October 24th will be the official firehose day of 2025.

Geno Suarez hits a Grand Slam to put the Mariners up 6-2 and seal Game 5 of the ALCS!

With about 80% of the precincts reporting I've seen enough. GDMI - Google DeepMind is going to win the seat for best track model in 2025. The race for best intensity model is still too close to call, but GDMI is right there with the consensus and OFCL. Quite a remarkable campaign.

Snowing at Longmire! Quite early for snow down to 3000 ft.

You feel that Seattle?! Check out that Polanco P-Wave! Polanco Game Winning Single, Crawford Scores, MARINERS WIN!! @Mariners are Toronto Bound! @Tmobilepark @FoxSports

I’m dead but it was all worth it

You can’t script it. The Mariners are willed to victory by Humpy the fish finally winning his first race in the middle of the 15th inning. The crowd chants “Humpy Humpy” as the trident crosses off the ALDS win.

Just doing some math here…

I’ve attended 4 Mariners playoff games in my life and seen 53 innings of baseball and counting.

Getting my money’s worth

I’ve never been this nervous for a sporting event before…GO M’s!!!

Happy #FieldworkFriday Mariners fans! Cal Raleigh said he could feel the ground shaking in Game 2, so PNSN came to take a closer look! We installed a seismometer right here in T-Mobile Park to record seismic energy during game 5. Seattle, we want to feel this place rocking! #SeizeTheMoment

You never know for sure but today could end up being the last 70+ degree day of 2025 in Seattle.

We transition to a cooler, cloudier, and wetter pattern tomorrow. No sign of any major storms, however.

That's why daycare is 7:30-5:30 since those are the hours that parents actually need to be covered.

HRRR forecast for 4 pm in Detroit shows some lingering showers. Nothing too heavy. A few hours later it is completely clear. So a delay is possible but the Mariners will play today. (hopefully we get a delay to start the game later!)

Prediction: Cal gets to 63 on Sunday when the Dodgers decide to mess with the Yankees by grooving him a few meatballs.

Speaking officially as the host of Jeopardy!, Cal Raleigh is the correct MVP vote.

To be fair the Mariners’ incompetence dragged it out for like 3 years longer than it should have been…
