“…It’s clear to those advocating through the public and open process that there is a separate and more influential channel to the Mayor’s Office that is only available to certain people.”
Following 5 years of process and some scary collisions, Mayor Harrell removes safety improvements from already-watered-down Lake Washington Blvd project

Great news for people who like to speed on Lake Washington Boulevard! Seattle Parks will not be installing more speed humps or stop signs, so you're free to continue scaring the crap out of anyone biking along or walking across our city's most beautiful park boulevard. Not even recent news of a person striking a teen on the street and then fleeing the scene will change city leaders' determination to protect the park boulevard from new traffic safety improvements.

My opinion on the Bob Vylan / Kneecap controversy is that the IDF just bombed a seafront café
Israeli strike on Gaza seafront cafe kills at least 20 Palestinians, witnesses and rescuers say
The outdoor cafe was frequently used by journalists, activists and local residents.

Reminder: @wsdot.wa.gov, the WA DMV (or Seattle "BMV," which is not a thing) will never send you a text like this. You can tell this is a scam in a number of ways, but one is that I don't own a car and I get them, too. You may know this, but maybe warn your less savvy loved ones.

WA state hit the hardest by federal NIH research grant cancellations.
The grant cancellations are damaging the scientific enterprise at institutions in both red and blue states.
WA has been hit hardest by the grant terminations, relative to how much NIH funding it typically receives in a year, with NC as a close second.
NY is hard hit too, because of Columbia.

Today ICE agents detained the prominent farmworker organizer Alfredo Juarez, also known as Lelo, in Washington State. Community groups allege that agents broke Lelo’s car window to apprehend him, violating his constitutional rights. They are calling for his immediate release.

Fellas, is it climate commitment to tax e-bikes instead of resisting the urge to expand highways
Will Washington's e-bike sales tax roll out before our e-bike rebate program?
The proposed transportation budget that was just released by the Washington State Senate includes a 10% surcharge on e-bikes, and a vehicle registration fee for public transit operators along with a removal of the exemption of public transit vehicles from paying tolls.
