76 Seattle police officers made over 300k

76 Seattle police were better paid than the mayor of NYC
Nearly 400 Seattle cops made over $200k in 2024
With 23 percent raises and backpay, a lot of awful cops got awful rich in 2024. Sleeping Sergeant Paige Maks raked in half a million, while prolific offender Zsolt Dornay took in nearly $360,000.

lol no I am not doing that. Enjoy sitting behind me and the dog.
Seattle Public Utilities is setting up a ~fairly circuitous~ bike detour in Ballard that will remain in place for over a year. Cars will continue to use the street.

Little worried about Wilson needing a big, big leftward swing when she...clearly tried to not appear *too* lefty.

Didn't get the DSA endorsement as a result. That's more symbolic than meaningful, though.

However, the @jayapal.house.gov's endorsement of Harrell looks worse than ever now.
Wednesday's ballot drop was not good news for Katie Wilson. 20,804 ballots were added to the count today, and Harrell won todays drop 56.71% to 42.94%, compared to 53.32% to 46.18% on Election Night. So he has expanded his lead.

The über-wealthy Mariners owners are making their voice heard in today's election.

Are you? Get your ballot in for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social.

Sara Nelson would be waving ‘em in like a third base coach, arm windmilling as she gives SPD every resource to team up with ICE.
Sara Nelson—famous for hiding in her office to avoid votes—wants us to know she’s ready to fight this advancing column of fascist stormtroopers.

When you give people something to vote FOR, they come out. Mamdani isn’t just reacting to conservative talking points. He’s selling a positive vision of the future.
The Left is responsible for adding more Democratic voters in NY. DSA & Zohran did this.

There’s no way people have always been this openly racist.

Obviously it’s the case through most of American history but it wasn’t this bad a decade ago. I think.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

For having all this experience, Bruce Harrell is really not great at this.
“The attacks on Wilson instead appear to be backfiring completely and are further eroding Mayor Harrell’s standing with the Seattle electorate…Harrell had a nine point negative spread in July; this month, he has a sixteen point negative spread.”

Fatal hit and run right in my neighborhood.

15th Ave NW is seven car lanes wide right here. It’s way too wide.

But the city and our neighborhood CM works hand-hand-hand with the freight lobby to keep it that way—polluting these dense communities at the same time.
Seattle Fire just responded to a driver hitting someone walking at 15th Ave NW and NW 73rd Street, 30 minutes ago.

This was a hit-and-run.

I'll provide updates on the person who was hit as they become available.

Wrote about the ballgame.

It’s pretty simple—you want your best guys in the biggest spots. Dan Wilson and the Mariners weren't ready.

If you're ICE, the Seattle Police Department works hard to get you what you want, fast.

If you're a reporter, the Seattle Police Department will group your requests together and indefinitely delay you for years.
