After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

The kid & I took the bus Sat night to see a hockey game. (There isn’t a bus past 8pm on Saturdays-ask us how we know🤦🏼♀️)
It was ~10degrees out. The route got dicey as we got closer to the Sullivan arena. An off-ramp cuts off any path from the north. Over 5K at the game!

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Signs read: "Medicaid Matters" + "Public radio saves lives"

Seattle permitted a car commercial shoot in the middle of Bicycle Weekends and an accessible cycling event
Photo from a reader. It's the Tom Flood meme come to life. "Bicycles deliver the freedom that auto ads promise." Sunday, a permitted commercial shoot for Rivian shut down a section of Lake Washington Boulevard during the penultimate Bicycle Weekends open streets event. It wasn't just any Bicycle Weekend day, though, it was also Bike & Scoot Sundays (PDF), an accessible cycling event in which SDOT, Lime and Bird partner with Outdoors for All to lend out adaptive cycles for free that people with a wide range of disabilities can ride along what was supposed to be a car-free Lake Washington Boulevard.

It’s been 4-years since the Mass Ave Bridge added separated bike lanes. Despite initial opposition, it’s been a massive success for bikers, drivers & pedestrians.
Fall 2023 data saw an avg of 6,160 bikes crossing the bridge, a 51% increase. Vehicle travel times remain unchanged.
