The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.

As a PSA, if you haven't returned your ballot yet, make sure to use a blue drop box, DON'T mail it. Postmarks are very possibly NOT going to be able to be made in time to make your vote count.

INBOX: I'm cackling. The Harrell campaign is pretending that the mean things progressives (including me) said against his policy of consistently defunding affordable housing are actually about Katie Wilson. A+, incredible crash out, I'm-rubber-your-glue. Honored to be nominated.

This would actually be life-changing. I've had so many evenings cut short because I had to catch the last bus...
This is big news: Sound Transit is proposing to launch a new overnight ST Express network, once Federal Way and East Link are both fully operational.
There would be three routes: Everett-Seattle, Lakewood-SeaTac-Seattle, and Redmond-Seattle. Headways are still TBD, but expected to be around 30 min.
