FYI I just got word that this event was pushed a week.
West Seattle light rail supporters are going to want to make sure they make it to this event on Monday night hosted by @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social, given the fact that light rail opponents are likely to turn out in spades.

I don’t know that Seattle understands how lucky we are to have the urban design and land-use policy thinktank that is Mike Eliason, and also to have him on the Social Housing Developer
i am cleaning up files and ran across my public comment on the comprehensive plan EIS scoping report (from 2022!), and man...
i cannot express what a massively wasted opportunity and exercise harrell's comp plan update has been.

we're starting to dream about the improvements we'd like to see in the Junction! what problems do you experience? what would you like to see??
Reducing California Way in the junction to one drive lane each way (or just pedestrianizing it altogether) would pretty quickly solve this issue
From the WestSeattleWA community on Reddit: Double Parking on California Ave is getting really out of hand.

This is your moment to find a group of folks to join up with; whether it’s @westseaurbanism.bsky.social or @seattledsa.bsky.social or @seattletru.bsky.social or @workingfamilies.org or @sngreenways.bsky.social or @laresistencianw.bsky.social one of the MANY other advocacy groups in our region
But that only happens if advocates stay organized and keep up the pressure, if we keep pushing for the things that will make our communities, neighborhoods, cities and region more pleasant, affordable, safer and all around better.

There's still a lot of curable ballots from Seattle (about 1,800). Most are unsigned or signature mismatches, and most skew younger.

Yoooo #Seattle! Help feed our neighbors. With SNAP funding held up indefinitely and in the midst of massive inflation, tariffs, unemployment, and more... food banks are facing a crisis of need. Food banks can buy food at a ~3:1 rate compared to what you can buy, so cash is best.

After many hours of studying and poking at maps of the streets and bike paths all around West Seattle, I think I am coming to the conclusion that we should really build a first-class bike route through the West Duwamish Greenbelt connecting the 21st Ave SW NG to W Marginal Way SW / Duwamish Trail.
