It was great to spend some time with these amazing human beings at the 41st Legislative Dems picnic. While board directors are always working first for their own school district, it's also important that they are collaborating beyond that, both across the state and at different levels of government.

Thank you, voters of Lake Washington School District!

Ballot-procrastinators, I know you're out there .... because I am one too! But I've gotten mine into a drop box, and I know you can as well.
Remember, ballots are due back by August 5. That's only 6 days. A little over 144 hours. Set aside time this week or weekend and get it done!

"51% of public school K-12 teachers said they were not too or not at all satisfied with how much they were paid...Americans overall generally think teachers should earn more...74% of U.S. adults said teachers should be paid more, including 39% who said they should be paid a lot more."
About 1 in 6 U.S. teachers work second jobs
The share of teachers working second jobs outside the classroom did not change much from before the pandemic.

Solving complex problems takes collaboration and community. That's why I attended an Intergenerational Strategy Session with Sustainability Ambassadors yesterday at Kirkland City Hall. Also present were Kirkland city leadership and staff, parent advocates, and community advocacy groups.

And now, a thread about local housing policy. 🧵
This may seem like a surprisingly specific topic, but I’m posting in response to a question I was asked in DMs. I want to share my answer for the benefit of others who may be wondering the same thing.
