Americans are so bad at building woonerfs.

You can always report potholes, problems, and yes – cracks – with the Find It, Fix It app. We caught up with @mayor.seattle.gov and SDOT Acting Director Angela Brady on 2nd Ave in downtown Seattle.

incredible barometer and sign of the times — also is impressive to see how quickly Bluesky has shifted to being more “pro-AI”… there’s still a lot of bad behavior from anti-AI folks on here, but it’s radically different than a year ago

No choice but to reskeet this

north to lake union, east to I-5, south to Yesler, West to Seattle center. about 1.5 sq mi. this feels extremely possible.

Now thats a destination worth traveling for! Some day well be hosting public events this crowded on our end of Pike!

Cool site

Correct

seeing Elon go on a multi-day crashout about Talarico has really highlighted how psychologically devastating it would be to Republicans if they lost Texas. So much of their self-identity is tied to repping Texas as the anti-California and would be shattered if the state even tipped blue.

Carrying a surveillance device in one’s pocket at all times: I sleep A city-owned camera takes a picture of your license plate and sends you a ticket if you run a rear light: “This is a hecking jorjorwell 1984”

In Seattle, we use giant concrete panels that were put in place a hundred years ago. They are fundamentally indestructible and will outlive us all. No one knows what is under them. Ripping them up costs ten million dollars and requires sign-off from 60% of residents within a 2 mile radius

This morning the cargo bike dad yielded for me as I walked my kid to daycare. But the SUV driver behind him blew the stop sign and drove right at us. Spare me the “when will the bikers follow the law” shit.

I was also unaware that the city’s new mass timber law also exempts the tower setback rules. Thats amazing. And makes me ask, why do we even have tower separation then?

Need these here

Crisp "nice autumn" rides in Seattle may be secretly the best time to ride in the year here

lol, lmao

A stretch Lime scooter is all it takes to tackle the male loneliness epidemic.

I've been spending a lot of time at Pike Place lately and I think "you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube" is a real dynamic that will absolutely influence the conversation heading into a permanent access plan next year.

Nice day

Someday, we’ll have streets like this in every neighborhood in Seattle and ask ourselves why it took so long.

Biked to a park I have never been to to fill out my ballot

sick of cars driving through Bell Street Park? ask electeds and SDOT officials to add diverters so only bikes and pedestrians can go through! actionnetwork.org/letters/d439...

Dream big.

I didn't start out with a strong opinion on Will Stancil. But his haters here are negatively polarizing me into liking him more and more.

It doesn’t do progressives any good to pretend most of America is deeply impoverished or that poverty is the norm here. A sense of widespread scarcity does not make people more generous. We are a rich nation, most of us are middle class. There is a suffering minority and we can afford to help them.

Climate change denial takes many forms. Anger at rising insurance premiums is one of them.

Never doubt that a small group of committed posters can change the world

I swear to god so much of this is literally just people confusing measles and chicken pox

Always

Did he get his ballot before everyone else? I'm still waiting for ours to be sent.

Bioswale discourse really popping off

Fake salmon environmentalist: save 2 trees on muh private single family property Real salmon environmentalist: 1) condemn and eminent domain all waterfront & riparian private property 2) upzone rest of the city not on the floodplain to mixed use highrise

Unfortunately, @transportation.seattle.gov needs to face up to the fact that, if it wants to achieve Vision Zero, we can't have multi-lane streets anymore. One in each direction, plus a bus lane, is the maximum that can be made safe.

“The modules sit right on top of the ground so the one I rode went in with no digging in just two and a half days” @ryancalkins.bsky.social @portofseattle.bsky.social can we get this between the light rail and airport??
