Check your ballot. It’s possible that it’s been challenged due to leaving the ballot envelope unsigned or a signature mismatch. You can cure that with King County Elections so your ballot is counted! kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec...

Heard that Seattle is kicking $35k/*wk* from now til the end of the year (or whenever Repubs quit whining and end the shutdown) to their local food bank.
Ohio isn't doing something like that, so I made a donation to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank:

We plant trees for the same reason we build light rail.
I've heard 2 people in the last 18 hours (one at a public meeting, one on here) say or imply that planting trees is pointless because they take a long time to grow. This is baffling to me—how do people think mature trees come to exist? Future generations matter too, not just present-day homeowners.
