If you see this and haven’t read @nondriver.bsky.social ‘s book “When Driving Is Not An Option”, you should walk, bike or roll to your local library or bookstore and pick it up (and read it!)!!!

Share the Cities has shaped (if not defined!) so much of my understanding of policy and advocacy around urbanism!
I’ve learned so much of how to look beyond surface-level partisan critiques and how to organize around the many things that make cities healthy and livable places for people to exist!

Announcing…our transition committees! Between now and Inauguration Day, this team of stellar community leaders will identify and connect with dozens of additional community advisors to gather the broadest possible range of input, skills, and knowledge from across our city.

I think it’s time for me to start thinking more seriously about how to connect the Seattle urbanism advocates and the Seattle arts and culture community.
Our arts and culture communities have *been* leading when it comes to urbanism tbh, and our goals are so intertwined.

ANOTHER great example (thanks to the Wilson transition team for jogging my memory!) is the Watershed Community Development team — which grew out of the Equinox Studios complexes in Georgetown.
Expect to see a lot more from them in the coming years

So many great names, but I’m especially excited to see Jeannie Chunn, Elisheba Wokoma from Wa Na Wari, Ben Hunter, and Jaelyn Scott from Lavender Rights Project!!!
Mayor-elect Katie Wilson just announced her transition team, with 61 members overseeing different policy areas. Transition teams are largely an expression of values and policy focus, although I expect some of these folks will end up in the administration. publicola.com/wp-content/u...

I’m going to shout out Burien City Council member @hugo4burien.bsky.social for his continued work and advocacy on how to keep our community safe and whole.
We are lucky to have great leadership, even when parts of the city administration refuse to take appropriate action.

Outside Seattle, the suburbs are often hubs for Latino and first-generation immigrant communities. Reports of ICE arrests in some of those smaller cities have been trending over the past weeks, although the official numbers are tough to pinpoint.
As reports of ICE emerge in Seattle, the suburbs already feel its presence

Just going to take a moment to shout out all of the amazing transit advocates in Seattle who have spent *so much* time and energy shaping and pushing our local conversations around transit access and funding and quality.
Yea I agree but I think it’s much easier to have that mindset in Seattle

Any time we have a discussion about transit service that is entirely based on the framework of austerity, I think about how much money we spend at the local, state and federal level to satiate and subsidize the fossil fuel and car industries’ profits 😭😭😭
I think WSDOT is spending like, 5 BILLION DOLLARS PLUS right now widening highways in King and Pierce counties.
25%+ of Seattle (much less the rest of the roads across the county!) do not have basic infrastructure like sidewalks.
Priorities lol

"...In fact, WSDOT is in active litigation against the contractor for missing the construction deadline. The litigation actually began in 2023 as it became clear the project was falling behind."

Like adding Limited stop service at peak may be a great way to increase ridership without screwing people who actually do need to have bus stops close to where they live.
