I agree with your overall argument here but *more* bridge redundancy could be a good thing along the canal, too.
Building a new bridge on 3rd Ave. W. that is dedicated to 🚎, 🚲, and 🚶♂️♿️ could provide a flatter intersection for people on foot + better connect Queen Anne/Interbay to Ballard.

I’m going to assume districts 1, 8, and 15 are somehow legal due to loopholes that Republicans can defend in court, but they’re clearly going against the spirit of the established redistricting guidelines. Sigh.
(Would also argue this for 4, 5, 7, and 9 to a lesser extent)

1. A white modern box (like the one across the street…) >>> a pit
2. An empty storefront (there aren’t many on Mercer) >>> a pit
3. A storefront + affordable homes only 1.5 blocks from frequent transit >>> a pit
4. Easy access to Seattle’s best bakery (Nielsen’s) AND Taco Bell? Not the pits.

Just had the most bizarre dining experience in Stanwood, WA
Outside: suburban shopping center + some apartments and LOTS of parking
Inside: a painted movie set of sorts featuring historical Downtown Stanwood
Basically a (poorly executed) people-oriented space memorializing a people-oriented space

Downtown Carnation, Washington, has experienced a major glow-up in recent years.
Before (2018): meh
Now: wide sidewalks + 🌳🌼 !
I would’ve done a few things differently (beautiful benches directly next to a state highway? Interesting!), but a major improvement overall!

I also walked by some wonderful sidewalk/curb improvements along the Willcox Walls in Upper Queen Anne.
Nice work, @seattledot.bsky.social! (Before photos via Google Streetview)
