Never hoped harder for a post to go viral
Seattle’s new residential zoning allows stacked flats at 12-16 flats per lot if you align with the incentives. If you are interested in what you can do with a property, DM me!!!

People speed through Seattle school zones tens of thousands of times a year. None of these tickets should have happened -- because it should be physically impossible to speed near a school.
All of this camera revenue should be funneled into infrastructure that makes the camera obsolete.

We don't cover our streets because then unhoused people would have shelter from the rain, and the shoppers would find that distasteful. Our housing failure is also a public amenity failure.
There's no reason we couldn't make the walk from Westlake Center to Pike Place a completely dry and enjoyable experience, but instead we get this.

I've been calculating the amount of each Seattle neighborhood elementary attendance area that overlaps with its walk zone. In how much of the city can kids walk to their assigned neighborhood school? Here's the answer!

When Bruce Harrell pulled a gun on a pregnant woman over a parking spot he was 37 years old, which is about the same age Katie Wilson was when she helped write and pass Seattle's Jumpstart tax, which brings in $300-400 million a year

So does this count as RTO
Council president Sara Nelson is attending remotely from her office a few feet away from council chambers; budget chair Dan Strauss, noting some technical problem with Zoom, says she's welcome to come out and join everyone else in person.

Now here's a good idea
Ireland is adopting a default 30 kmh (19 mph) speed limit in urban areas.
Local authorities to implement 30km/h speed limits in urban areas ‘where appropriate’ from 2027
Speed limits on roads in built-up and urban areas can only be changed where a majority of the elected members in a local authority vote to do so.

Great story -- the part where the kid loved the idea of finding big cats more than any of the dad's ideas was priceless.
My then first grader and I went on a vacation to Portland and stayed downtown. The only dangerous thing we encountered the whole time was the lack of protection on the Harvey Milk and Oak Street bike lanes. She LOVED running around looking for Coraline cats. www.seattlebikeblog.com/2024/09/24/t...

I was going to post about how amazing it was that I can now ride from Beacon Hill to South Park to Georgetown to downtown almost entirely in PBLs. But instead I’ll post this picture of a guy who smashed into the bike lane seconds after I rolled through:
