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

Throwback: In 1976 a woman was pulled over and ticketed for biking on Greenwood Ave because she was not going the 35mph speed limit. She and @cascade.org challenged (and lost), and Seattle Police leaders told the Council that they should ban biking on city streets. The SPD spokesperson? Tim Burgess.

Seattle mayor-elect (almost) Katie Wilson, welcome to The War on Cars.
"Katie Wilson does not own a car and primarily rides the bus (public transit) to get around Seattle with her daughter." -Wikipedia
She walks the walk (literally) and is calling out the grifters. 🥳

TRANSIT RIDERS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE CITY OF SEATTLE
With basically all the ballots in the city of Seattle's mayoral election counted, Katie Wilson is now above 50 percent, with Mayor Bruce Harrell sliding to 49.6 percent. They're currently within the mandatory recount requirements, but machine recounts don't generally change things much.

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!
