Imagine if the people of the city could vote on things at PPM. Unfortunately, the market is not By The People, nor For The People. It's by the Board.
It’s December 30th. Pike Place Market is packed with people awkwardly standing or sitting on the curb to eat treats from vendors. Removing the street seating for the winter was a mistake. Seattle has a mild climate with days where people want to sit and linger year round

@support.bsky.team How do I prevent my contacts from finding me? Am I auto opted-out if I don't import my contacts, or will my account still be visible to people with my email+phone?

Absolutely not! This, along with our restrictions on uplights, are a couple of the best parts of our skyscraper cityscape. I've been so grateful to these rules, hate that we're trying to change them.
They're trying to squeak one more Harrell Administration priority through before the end of the year: allowing huge-ass corporate signs on skyscrapers in Downtown Seattle.

Interesting route mapping by Sound Transit, instead of peeling the federal way sticker off, they put a new one atop it.

Honestly -- Electrifying public transit is low on my priorities list. Transit is already such low emissions per capita, I'd rather that money goes toward increasing reliability and changing the mode share.
I bet the emissions saved by taking those cars off the road is greater than electrification.

I'm not much of a bus nerd. I was reflecting on how I'll be taking the A line down to the link opening on Saturday, and thought to myself..
"Wow, new rapid ride route to cross off the list! Usually I only ride the G or E! ...or d! ...or h... or c.... wow, I use this service more than i realize"

Great ideas, great projects, with an execution only possible by someone who doesn't ride the great projects they work on.
This is the crosswalk right outside Kent Des Moines Station (opening Saturday) that allows you to get across State Route 99.
See that teeny bus stop off on the distance? That's the closest stop for southbound RapidRide A Line riders.

Today in "excellent link light rail signage", we not only imply that federal way has a downtown, but also that it has its own airport for you to visit! Hop from SEA to FED on the link! 🤦

This is so funny that I hate it's real. We are in a simulation.
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

So many buildings, so many possible lifestyles.
What if I moved to Capitol Hill instead of Northgate? Would I still be at peace? Would I be more social? What would I do with my saved commute time?

Living in a city for long enough as a renter means constantly being confronted with buildings you walked through but never moved into...something that always forces you to consider (if just for a second) the person you would be today if you had.
