The bus bunching of the G Line on First Hill is so bad sometimes that I just saw three come in the span of 60 seconds. Lucky me though because I caught the third.

Paul has been talking about the tax loophole that Seattle country clubs have been enjoying for a while now but WOW I did not know how big
This is Broadmoor Golf Club. It's a gated right-wing enclave for the rich in Seattle. The golf course is 7 parcels, 122.2 acres. It's assessed at just $76k/ACRE!

I want to love the Madison G-line RapidRide so much but it is still so unreliable. I just had a driver at the Boylston stop drive past me, walking into the center stop, to…get to a red light. Worse: it was four minutes early.

"Little-known" only if you're not paying close attention to City Hall. Wilson has been at or near the center of almost every major policy battle in the city for the last 10 years.

I sure wish the RapidRide G actually adhered to its promised reliance. @seattledot.bsky.social three scheduled busses didn’t show up eastbound at Madison and Boylston. I could’ve driven to my destination faster.

Mayor Bruce Harrell considers it scandalous and hypocritical that Katie Wilson's parents help her pay for child care in Seattle. When he was asked about one of his own kids during his first campaign, he said his parenting choices were no one's business. www.seattleweekly.com/news/a-city-...

Listening to Bruce Harrell on the campaign trail, you'd never know that traffic fatalities in Seattle have actually increased during his term as whole and that last year was the deadliest year on city roads in decades.
Bruce Harrell: "When...I won the job, we still lived in a city by which cars are fighting with bikes and bikes are perhaps competing with transit, and people looked at the different forms of transportation and they didn't talk to each other very well."

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

The thing about bicycle weekends on Lake Washington Boulevard is that they are a beloved institution that has near unanimous support, but instead of investing real money to make them safe and activated, Bruce Harrell has instead spent all of the money on outreach to appease ~8 highway advocates.

This is unacceptable. We can do better.
You may remember: this is the same intersection, immediately adjacent to the Mt Baker kids swim beach, where a car careened off the road and exploded into the beach.
SDOT proposed adding stop signs here to help calm traffic, but the Mayor’s office killed the idea because car advocates complained.

Personally I think our Park Boulevards should not be designed allow cars to speed so fast they careen off them into popular children swim beaches, exploding into a burnt out husk, and polluting the water 🤷🏼♂️
