It's old enough that the service sticker has phone numbers without area codes, as all of those areas (Seattle, Everett, the Eastside, and South King County) were in area code 206 until April 27, 1997. Plus there's the date July 16 1996 that someone wrote on there as well.

I was privileged to be in the presence of #ThePoleee on my travels through central California today. I asked for its blessing for our safe journey through the Silicon Valley, our crossing of the Golden Gate, and our voyage into the North Coast.

While I do concede that spanning over North 4th Street is a bit much, more housing is needed in Renton—especially in central Renton, and not just SF-only housing stuck in the periphery of the city.

A small wetland area about a half-mile (0.8 km) away from my dad's house caught on fire. This is in the city of West Richland in Washington state.

Related to my previous post, this stretch of Danube shoreline in front of the Hotel Victoria has a travel lane and a parking lane (not pictured in the below image), a tram right-of-way, a narrow promenade for both pedestrians and bicyclists, then a two-lane ramp, and finally a two-lane road.

It would do the city of Budapest wonders if they took their riverfront roads (or at least took out a lane) and converted it into a pedestrian-friendly promenade, like those seen along the Seine in Paris. Not pictured, but some parts are barely wide enough for one person to walk.

With this week being the start of the #WALeg Committees Week, I hope that 2024's HB 2252 (see image) returns in the 2025 legislative session. It's ridiculous that neighborhood cafés were prohibited in the first place.
