Being the first person in line for something is both so embarrassing and so satisfying. Shoutout to @heybagelwa.bsky.social for adding blueberry to their Monday menu (which no other bagel place in Seattle has for some reason!)🫐🥯

Went on the newly launched City Cast Seattle to talk voting, defend the youth with their tendency to get ballots in at the last minute (which Katie Wilson will now be counting on), why we may be at a turning point in the city, and what's next🎙️

In Washington state, we make it easy to vote but people are still not voting. We have one of the best election systems in the nation. I think we have to move our off-year elections to even.

Less than 20% of registered voters across WA had returned their ballots as of 5 p.m. Monday. That puts the state on track for record low turnout. Data shows returns lagging even in places with high-profile contests for offices like county executive and mayor. Voters can return ballots until 8 p.m.

🎉 Hey Neighbor, the City Cast Seattle pod is LIVE! And as if launching on Election Day wasn’t absurd enough, our first guest is a puppet and possibly Seattle’s funniest government critic: Seattle Channel (aka SC, for short).

City Cast, known for its daily podcasts and newsletters, is shuttering its operations in Houston and Boise while launching in the Twin Cities and Seattle. At the same time, it’s introducing social video as a core pillar of its model—part of what founder David Plotz calls “City Cast 2.0.”

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:
The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight
Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

Seeing so many people come to Seattle and wait in line for 40 minutes to go to the original Starbucks that is not actually the original Starbucks is a special kind of bummer.
