Vashon Community Food Bank’s location is what it looks like when community comes together to meet a critical need. Glad I got to join for the grand opening with so many community partners and supporters.
Seattle is a union town & King county is a Union County! Our home grown Co-op needs to do right be their workers! “They’re disrespecting the very workers that made them profitable,” @reiunion.bsky.social @ufcw3000.bsky.social @girmayzahilay.bsky.social @knkx.org

I got to spend time this afternoon with the wonderful team supporting @jayapal.house.gov along w/ @girmayzahilay.bsky.social & @councilmember-amr.bsky.social talking about how our fight is interconnected and how what happens in DC shows up locally. We are all in this together!
REI needs to invest in the ones wearing the green vests! Workers deserve a contract that lets them enjoy time outside too! Today I joined workers, @girmayzahilay.bsky.social and @mlklabor.bsky.social calling on REI to come back to the table & settle a fair contract.
Incredibly insightful coverage by @asamnews.bsky.social of our efforts to ban new detention centers here locally and our tragic history of the internment of Japanese Americans.

Joined my ST board colleagues for a light rail tour covering West Seattle, downtown, SODO, Chinatown/ID, lower Queen Anne, Interbay and Ballard. Our neighborhoods shouldn’t feel worlds apart, and light rail will help build our region’s connectedness.

I applaud Mayor Ralph and the Kent City Council joining the effort to protect the health and safety of our residents by saying our land should go to support the public’s wellbeing, detention centers harm it.
We’re keeping the momentum going this morning as we UNANIMOUSLY passed an ordinance out of committee today, making clear that county land that is also not open to the general public cannot be used for civil immigration enforcement! More to come!
“When our neighbors are afraid to seek medical care, shop for groceries, or send their children to school, they bear the immediate harm… and our communities lose the trust, connection, and stability that allow us all to thrive.”

Thanks @komo4.bsky.social for covering the legislation that just passed at the council prohibiting new detention facilities in the county.
Thanks to @knkx.org for tuning in to the work we did at council today banning new detention facilities.
Thank you to @king5news.com.web.brid.gy for their coverage of the just passed legislation banning new detention centers in King County.
That is a violation of our county’s values. “
“Detention facilities disrupt and destroy the fabric of our communities. With the detention facility comes additional agents and fewer people seeking health and safety from local law enforcement , fewer people getting their medical care needs met, kiddos missing days of school.

Thank you @kuow.org for covering this just passed legislation banning new detention facilities in King County.
“The land-use regulations that the council has, our local government authorities, allow for us to protect the health and safety of community residents. We want to protect against these new facilities from coming into place here.”

Thank you @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social for covering this important legislation banning new detention centers in King County.
KCC just passed my moratorium on new detention centers. Thank you to council colleagues who co-sponsored and supported the legislation. Full press release here: kingcounty.gov/dept/council...
Our HHHS Committee just passed my motion supporting entheogen therapy. Allowing individuals and their providers to make the decisions about what their healing looks like is a proven piece in addressing conditions like ptsd. Thank you to the community supporters who helped make this happen.
This weekend my office joined Africatown Community Land Trust for the 2026 State of Africatown. The theme was “from harm to repair”. As we work to build a region that has ample housing for all, we can’t forget those already displaced and institute pathways for their return.
No to war with Iran!
No to continued imperialist acts of aggression. No to death and destruction. Not in our names. We won’t be complicit, we won’t be compliant, we won’t be silent.
We say No!
No to unprovoked acts of aggression and war on sovereign nations, on kids in schools.
We say No!
