come to bellingham, the best bike city in the most bike friendly state in the country. 💪
The City of Bellingham is considering several ways to extend the Holly Street bike lane from its current terminus at Bay Street all the way to Broadway. The city will present the preferred alternative to the public in spring 2026.

headlines these days will be like “ICE teargassed a nursing home, beat grandma, kept her in a holding cell without water for 3 days, and released her without charges. Some say this is extreme.”

Great talk from @spottnik.bsky.social last night to kick off the #weekwithoutDriving. He set a high bar by managing the @seattledot.bsky.social without a personal or company vehicle. Enjoyed the management takeaways from his talk beyond the transportation ones.

the absurd part of this is that we all know that on-the-ground ICE practices would not change at all, regardless of this ruling.
BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California.

Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Jefferies needs to resign as democratic leadership immediately. What the hell are we doing here. jfc.
Hakeem Jeffries says of Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani for living in a rent controlled apartment: "It's a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the [Mamdani] campaign is going to have to address it."

amazing initial results out of Seattle! love to see pro-city, pro-housing candidates winning 💪
Partial results in Seattle, with roughly 100K ballots counted:

—Katie Wilson and Bruce Harrell will move on to November's general election. (Right now, Wilson is up 46/45.)

—Erika Evans and Ann Davison (the GOP incumbent) will advance for city attorney. (Right now, Evans up 51% to 37%).

I am SO excited about this! Demand is already off the charts for Cascades with most departures sold out. It’s time for WA, OR, & BC to invest in running frequencies deserving of these state of the art trainsets.

Drumroll, please... The first new Amtrak Cascades train is leaving the Siemens manufacturing facility in Sacramento today and heading to Pueblo, CO for testing! Following a year-long testing journey, they’ll arrive home to the PNW in 2026—stay tuned for more photos! #trains #PNW

he’s building a $120B American gestapo tasked with attacking, beating, imprisoning, and disappearing brown people. but sure let’s talk about one word he used in the speech celebrating it.
Jewish leaders denounced President Trump on Friday for using an antisemitic term at a rally in Iowa the previous evening.

President Trump said he did not realize that the term “Shylock” was viewed as antisemitic.

hysteria about gas taxes is so odd. this will cost you $60/year if you drive a ton and get terrible mileage.

inflation adjusted, the WA gas tax will have DECREASED by 15% even after the change.

how is it that EVERY road in spokane is 2-3x the size it needs to be? just massive 4 lane, 60’ arterials through every neighborhood with the saddest, crumbling 5’ sidewalks you’ve ever seen.

Starting Sunday your Metro will be operating under automatic mode, the 1st time in 16 yrs! Incredible hard work by the team to make trips safer, more reliable & cost efficient. Expect service adjustments on lines until new schedules are implemented that account for faster trips.

Metro is launching Automatic Train Operation on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines this Sunday, enhancing safety, reliability, and efficiency!

This marks the first time the entire Metrorail system will be in automatic mode since 2009.

sometimes you need to celebrate the little things. on Saturday, we brought Bellingham neighbors, elected officials, business owners, and advocates together to cut a ribbon to celebrate the impending end of the “pilot” phase of a local multimodal transportation project.

i’m convinced that the only path that doesn’t end in complete destruction of our democracy is for Dems to dramatically escalate in a fashion where retribution by Trump would be politically intolerable.

otherwise we’re all just boiled frogs.

dropping like flies. congrats, Bremerton!
The Bremerton City Council just voted 6-1 to become the fourth Washington city to completely drop any mandated off-street parking in new development, following in the steps of Spokane, Port Townsend, and Bellingham.

Imagine taking high-speed rail to Bellingham and then getting on one of these to get to Friday Harbor.
Okay, here's my video from inside the Artemis EF-12 Escape electric water taxi earlier today.

To call it a smooth ride is really an understatement...it's pretty incredible how this thing moves across the water.
