Transit will dump you at the entrance to a parking lot which is six times the size of the stadium. Then you walk on a road with no sidewalks to get through the parking lot to the stadium.

Dropped my monthly donation over this.

When / if you become a parent, you quickly learn you will give it all up for your kid(s) if that's what it takes. I would. For Harrell to hold that against Katie is the appalling cherry on the top of a grotesque cake and I don't like it. It makes Harrell look bad as a person, not just a leader.

I know many people who receive financial help from family in this city. Did no one on their team stop and think about the optics here?

Big "Ballard Cycle Track" energy. I threw this one in the recycling before inspecting it further 🙄 www.ballardcycletrack.com

Same thing in Boston. University students as far as the eyes can see. I once walked a 5 mile loop back to my apartment because I couldn't find a seat 🤷 (Boston is a great city to walk in at least)

MBTA has a mix of fare gates and it's fine?

Anytime Pete Hanning is mentioned, I want to spend money somewhere besides Fremont. I take the bus from Greenwood to Fremont, do their magical numbers tell them bus riders are not stopping in Fremont because that seems remarkably shortsighted for someone in charge of "commerce"

Vision Zero is Zero Vision. I got that email today and rolled my eyes.

Boston and Seattle have many similar major projects and Boston's are always executed a little bit better. A neighborhood like JP is the level of density Seattle should have.

I went right into it but only made it to the destruction of Jedha. Seamless transition. The world-building of Andor and Rogue One is crafted with so much care it's astonishing. It feels like a place you could go.

Delete the center turn lane down Greenwood Ave.

There's been plenty of evidence in the past several (many?) years that supporting Mr Melon companies is a bad idea and I'm suspicious of anyone claiming, "oops, I didn't know" but certainly going forward, do not buy. I've seen lots of these stickers in Seattle.

that's a much better response than this garbage which blames a business pivot and failure on the Route 40 improvement project. at least they're signaling where their values lie… www.myballard.com/2025/01/24/p...
