I think the existance of Federal Way station is goIng to do a lot more to place making than the name itself.
Assuming the zoning is designed for it, more housing will likely be built around the station anyway.
If city leaders want placemaking changes they need to do more than just renaming anyway.

I bet Lynnwood and Federal way could make this a bit better if they gave their redevelopment areas more unique sounding names anyway...
At least placenames like "Scriber Creek" or "Cedar Valley" roll off the tongue easier than "Downtown Lynnwood"
For Federal Way, Just drop "City Center"

Kinda tired of fellow Americans constantly being critical of basic food assistance but being totally ok with billionaires getting massive tax cuts and government subsidies.

Sadly, if there had been rules, he would have ignored them anyway.

This isn't over yet! We're not down with this, and we're not letting the mayor hide behind city bureaucracy either.
Come show up with the Transit Riders Union this Saturday morning, and bring tell a friend!

Not just any bus lane. One of the most necessary lanes on the only BRT project in Seattle that got much of its required lanes set aside on day one.

kinda wish they would clean the stations now and then too. Its kind of weird how dirty they are whenever I visit.

Sound transit is absurdly bad at estimating train times for reasons most transit advocates don't really understand.
The service is usually decent though (for a west coast US city)

If its anyone currently in Dem leadership, I fully expect they will again use all the tools at their disposal... to punish their own voters and do nothing to punish the law breakers on the other side.

Bank style security windows at the entrance.
Some lie onlIne and pretend to be normal hotels.
The walls can often be so very thin.
There might be a fire escape crane hidden behind the window curtain, waiting to clobber you in the knee as you walk past said window.
