The new 520/Montlake Lid bike/walk trails are up for a People's Choice award - Vote every day thru Nov 15 and help support Cascade's advocacy work! americastransportationawards.org/2026/07/20/w...

Thanks to Aurora Reimagined Coalition for leading today's policy walk to advocate for the short and long term changes needed to improve this corridor so people can safely walk, bike, and access transit. Aurora Ave has been a loud, fast highway for too long!

We appreciate Seattle City Council's continued focus on traffic safety. The proposed Traffic Safety Ordinance represents an effort to advance Vision Zero. We look forward to seeing how this framework is implemented and are committed to supporting the city's work. Safer streets benefit everyone.

We all deserve to get to where we're going safely. After over a decade working towards Vision Zero in Seattle, it's clear we need to do more. Thank you Mayor Wilson, in signing today's executive order, for committing to taking urgent action for all who bike, walk, and roll on Seattle's streets.

It was a record year for youth bike safety education in Washington state.

Looking for last minute plans tonight? Come to Old Stove in Ballard for bike trivia with us and Ballard Fremont Green Streets -- catch the Mexico-Ecuador game while you're at it!

Our hearts are with the family and friends of the woman killed biking this morning in West Seattle on SW Wildwood Place. We should all be able to get where we're going safely.

come see me tomorrow in SoDo and i’ll watch your bike! the corral location is different than what we do for sounders game, so heads up on that! rise your bike downtown and leave it with us while you soak up all the vibes. #bikeseattle #worldcup

We're heartbroken that Christian Salyer was killed by a person driving as he biked at 12th & Yesler, an area long flagged as dangerous for people biking. He leaves behind grieving students, family, and a community demanding change. One death is too many, and our hearts go out to all who knew Mr. S.
