THANK YOU ALL for coming out and supporting the 8!!! It’s honestly so surreal how much fun we had today and how amazing it is to know how many people care about this bus as much as I do!

Seattle area drivers are spending 12% more time stuck in traffic than in 2019. We need better public transit NOW to give people alternatives to driving in gridlock

More bus service!
Today we officially kicked off the first meetings of my transition committee as we prepare for the work ahead. More than one hundred leaders from across King County came together this morning.

So if an elected official can’t use their government office to promote their campaign, how did Bruce concede at city hall?

This morning transit advocates from around Central Puget Sound gathered together to bring one message to the Sound Transit board: "build the damn trains."
This afternoon the board is holding its first retreat since the announcement of the $30-$40 billion shortfall through 2046.

I really wish I read this a few weeks ago
Also can we talk about how insane it is that bruce didn't have a platform until like a month ago and that his transit platform was to give free rides for kids THAT ALREADY RIDE FREE!

West Seattle light rail supporters are going to want to make sure they make it to this event on Monday night hosted by @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social, given the fact that light rail opponents are likely to turn out in spades.

I don’t think the Pacific Northwest is large enough for two Mayor Wilsons.

Nearly 1,100 days after safety advocates painted a guerrilla crosswalk at Harvard Ave E and E Olive Way (and SDOT washed it off), there is now a permanent crosswalk here.

The word from King County Elections is we'll probably get around 35,000 Seattle ballots in today's count. That will leave roughly 10,000 left. It sounds like they had quite a few "cured" ballots come in over the weekend that will be counted Tuesday (Yes, they're counting on Veteran's Day).

"The best transit signal priority is no signal at all"
The other night I was on a G Line that had to stop at almost every light for nonexistent cross traffic. SDOT makes such a big deal about installing fancy signals with transit priority but then just runs them on timers 🤷♂️
Just watched a train get signal priority at Alaska and MLK but then get stopped at MLK and Oregon.
I'd just say there's still room for SDOT to improve the signal operations on MLK.

Who is Katie Wilson?
She’s head of the Seattle Transit Riders Union.
Her platform proposes to massively increase funding for affordable housing, cut red tape for development, shift away from single occupancy cars, & develop the transit network.
And she may well be the next mayor of the city.

In my spreadsheet (which makes assumptions about fall off, write-ins, probably has mistakes, etc.), Katie needed to average 54.6% to win by a little over 100 votes.
Today she got 54.85%.
A friend says she needs 54.2% from here on out--will do my own math shortly.
