@theurbanist.org published my review of SDOT's recently released phase 1 report on the Aurora Ave project. www.theurbanist.org/2025/07/29/o...

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

Requesting an update from the Downtown Seattle Association about the role of Seattle's Jumpstart tax in these soft layoffs.

Even though my budget for track days this year got wiped out by the cost of fuel, I've still managed to save thousands by riding an ebike and taking public transit. And it can be faster than driving in some cases as there is no traffic or need to find parking.

Hey progressive Seattle, we are in a real fight in N. Seattle. Come join us & help elect Nilu, overcoming attack mailer lies and Sara Nelson’s SeaFor dirty PAC tricks. D5 folks-have you given your democracy vouchers? Not in D5? Your spare dollars appreciated!

It is frankly disgusting that baby formula is locked up at QFC.

Met some absolute fucking nazi cowards in Burien today. Real “I got rejected from the police for academic reasons” energy. May they get what they deserve. Be safe out there, friends.

It appears Pollet is circulating a survey asking the public what should be done with these funds and encouraging then to be used for police. lp.constantcontactpages.com/sv/mUibjE0/p...

The PDC just handed more influence to rich and powerful special interests with nearly no warning. Control of the state Supreme Court is on the line. Initiatives attacking fundamental rights are on the ballot. This is a travesty.

Another shooting last night just a few blocks away from the last shooting. Stray bullets went into homes. 80 more shell casings brings the total up to over 200 shots fired in 2 days.

There is no law that says we can't do this every day or at least every weekend. It's like 50 degrees and people are outside. Even if you live in Carnation you can still enjoy the fiesta without parking in it.

Lucha Libre at the market was fun as hell

I'm Nilu Jenks, and I'm running because blue cities need to show they can govern. North Seattle has been left behind, and the people of D5 deserve as much attention, programming, and resources as the rest of the city. I’ll work hard everyday to change that, and I would be honored to earn your vote.

checking in on seafor's backpedaling now that they got called out on campaign finance violations here's some archived site copy from 10/16:

This happened 4 blocks away from a police station.

Surely the North Seattle Industrial Association will fight this to prevent further erosion of Ballard's historic maritime industry. Right?

It's not just Seattle demanding transformational change on SR 99.

Nilu has been running an honest, principled, smart campaign to be the partner and voice for all of North Seattle. Let’s elect Nilu and get some good things done!

Tomorrow is día de muertos at Pike Place Market. I hope to see you all there for lucha libre. www.pikeplacemarket.org/events-calen...

If you don't have time to do anything else, send this letter so that there's a record of support to offset the historic boards. admin.actionnetwork.org/letters/safety-first-means-giving-sdot-the-ability-to-act

"passed too close" is another way to say he intentionally tried to kill people by running them over.

Thank you to everyone who made The Car-Free University Way a success! It was amazing to see families return to a space that was now welcoming for them. We are far from done. We intend to work with the UW student body, U District residents, businesses, and the entire community to make this real.

My latest! I wrote about Councilmember Rinck's new campaign to fund gender-based violence services...and put it in context with other budget/revenue news.

Bob Kettle grows weaker every time a Starbucks closes and is replaced by a local small business.

N 130th St and Aurora Ave N - Seattle, WA

Cindy Ryu was a FORCE in how Shoreline changed their section of SR99. If you want Aurora Ave to be fundamentally made better in Seattle, vote for Cindy Ryu.

Anytime this guy is mentioned, remember that his company makes and sells ecoblocks to other businesses on the cheap (~$20/each) to illegally put in the right of way to displace homeless people. He's also responsible for the last 30 years of preventing the missing link of the Burke-Gilman trail.

Julia Reed is the best and we are all lucky to have her representing us.

Seattle has multiple CCTV cameras (contracted by Axon) at the location where this hit and run occurred. According to the article, police are still seeking the public's assistance for information about the vehicle and driver. It has been 20 days since the crime was committed next to multiple cameras.
