spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

👋 Do you participate in group bike rides? What tips or advice would you share about running a successful and safe group ride? How do you like them to work/be organized? How many is the right number of people? What do you *not* want to happen at a group ride? 🚲 ❤️

idea for urbanist grassroots group or small business:
mobile street party setup. like a food truck or sauna truck that enables your closed street to become a party or third space. could range from repurposed bus w cozy interior, to squad of cargo bikes carrying rain protection & heat supply

@publicola.bsky.social and @theurbanist.org.web.brid.gy are straight up more informative for Seattle politics and I'm happy to be a monthly supporter of both! If you only read @seattletimes.com you'd likely be confused about what is at stake in this election
Of COURSE the Seattle Times guy who thinks online news isn't real news is railing against news vouchers, which he says consist of Katie Wilson "taking $10 million from taxpayers" to fund people he looks down on—independent news producers who now all have to compete with each other for supporters.
News vouchers resurface in Seattle mayoral race
News vouchers may sounds promising, especially in the words of Seattle mayoral candidate Katie Wilson, but they are deeply problematic.

And not only should you vote yourself, you should tell all of your friends to vote too!
This isn't a federal election where our votes hardly matter.
This is a LOCAL election. These are decided by just hundreds of votes! You individually make a huge difference. Vote by the end of this week!

NEW: YOUNG PEOPLE GET YOUR BUTTS TO THE BALLOT BOXES. So far, only 10% of ballots come from voters under 35. And overrepresentation of older voters could be the difference between Katie Wilson and Bruce Harrell 2.0. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/voters-...

Just got out of a community council meeting in Georgetown where I was expecting the issue of a potential lane reduction on E Marginal Way to dominate.
Instead, there were more questions about getting MORE bike infrastructure, pedestrian crossings, and sidewalk upgrades.

take the good news wherever you can get it
For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.
Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers
Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

I'm still sitting here waiting for the city to tell us if we're allowed to build our accessible DADU or not. this home would have been completed last year if it weren't for city bullshit.
Because Seattle's permitting department is funded by permit fees, we're set to increase those fees by 18% on top of inflation next year because of the fact that...permits are down. I'm sure that will help!

Waiting for a late 8 to get to a #WeekWithoutDriving access ride along and it's wheelchair section is full. Unreliable buses mean more people waiting for a single bus and more likely that the only 2 seats i can use will be full.

I want to make stupid meme-y urbanist shirts/merch
tell me your ideas for a stupid urbanist shirt you would LOVE to have 👀
I am likely to make some small-batch with cut retroreflective vinyl, so text and simple graphics in one color are best for those

You guys need to be talking about local politics with your friends. Conversations plant seeds of interest which can become energy towards bettering community.

someone from the West Seattle Joiners dropped into our meetup last night to let us know of their new group that is trying to compile a list of ALL West Seattle clubs/organizations.
They have two events coming up - a documentary screening, & a club fair.
We hope to see you & your club at the fair!!
