Some false reports are circulating that Mt. Rainier is suddenly showing seismic tremor activity — this is not true. The signal being referenced is actually radio interference, most likely due to rime ice buildup on the antenna of one of our seismic stations.

Don't cross the picket line!
Starbucks union workers are on strike demanding the corporation sign a fair contract after years of union-busting and refusing to come to the bargaining table.
Starbucks union workers are on strike demanding the corporation sign a fair contract after years of union-busting and refusing to come to the bargaining table.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Multiple protests tomorrow, Seattle! I'm hoping to make it to at least one.
Standing alongside vets to call out this hateful administration, seems like a very appropriate thing to do on Veteran's Day. #fucktrump

Every year on the first Thursday of November, St. James Cathedral sponsors a Mass to honor and remember homeless people who've died. The 2025 Mass is 5:30 PM, 11/6. The Cathedral bell will toll one time for each name--335 times this year (for deaths that occurred 10/1/24 thru 9/30/25).
