Had a fun time leading a group through windy weather to check out some cool transit stuff with the occasional detour to see something interesting as we went from the CID to a lake overlook & eventually Mount Baker station. And no rain!

Money that's already been awarded to build more bike and trail projects here in Washington is at risk of being yanked away for ridiculous reasons. Take the @bikeleague.org action today to keep this funding where it belongs!

🚨 ACTION ALERT: Secretary Duffy’s DOT says bike lanes are “not in the public interest” – and is canceling hundreds of millions in grants for biking, walking, and trail projects nationwide. Take action: bikeleague.org/action-center
Action Alert graphic on a dark red background: 🚨 Duffy’s DOT is eliminating millions of dollars in grants that have been awarded to make communities safer. An image of a clipboard labelled "NOW CANCELLED" contains a bulleted list with each line struck through: "Bike lanes, Sidewalks, Trails, Safety crossings" In a red bubble for emphasis: "Bike lanes are “not in the public interest,” says the Department of Transportation." TAKE ACTION: bikeleague.org/action-center State and local governments applied for these grants based on the needs and wants of their communities – and they were awarded this funding under the Biden Administration. Now, they are losing those investments, in addition to the economic development and safety improvements they would have funded. Please join us in asking Congress to take action." Below the paragraph, an illustrated graphic of a woman biking with a young child in traffic says "I was really looking forward to that new bike lane..." Bikeleague.org/action-center

We’re heartbroken by today’s hit-and-run on Shilshole Ave NW. Our thoughts are with the victim and loved ones. This crash was preventable. For 20+ years, Salmon Bay Sand & Gravel and business interests have blocked a safe Burke-Gilman connection. Seattle deserves better.
