Quite the sensible sort. Partial to kippers.

Kettle says the mayor has no plan to fight the things that crawl and creep. Why would she! Why would she fight her own, while they lie in ambush? Why would she oppose those that enforce her will? There are things more foul than spiders that in the darkness lie. What is that on your hand, Bob?

Fun fact about Jēññīſêr Gōðſrëy: After I wrote a skeet making fun of her Seattle Times article, **she wrote to my work email address** with a copy of the skeet. I never said who my employer is on BSky.
An update from OPCD to the Seattle planning commission last week confirms that the pending Centers & Corridors zoning update is likely to remain on hold for a full year as the city conducts more analysis, in the wake of a state hearings board ruling. www.theurbanist.org/seattles-cen...

You don't get much more conservative than a business owner in Little Saigon. And these are the people right-wing influencers are chewing up and spitting out?
Racist far-right influencers like Brandi Kruse know they're lying. They don't care about the consequences their lies have on real people, because they're sociopaths. Human beings are just NPCs to them. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Come on, Kirkland. You know what you must do. Give us the Kirkland Signature District.
Next week the City of Kirkland is poised to advance a rebrand for the neighborhood around its forthcoming inline BRT station at I-405 and NE 85th St, as "the Rise District." Also in contention: the Forge District and the Union District.
Bob Kettle knowing about SPD expanding its surveillance activities outside legal bounds and doing nothing about it raises fresh questions about what Katie Wilson knew after the Bite of Seattle shooting.
Sure looks to me like Bob Kettle knew for a year and a half that SPD had massively expanded its surveillance capabilities without a public vote and…just sat on that knowledge without doing anything about it. A massive scandal. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Say what you will about Pervert Glasses™, at least you know you're being recorded by Pervert Glasses™ when the pervert is looking right at you. Now the camera for Pervert Glasses™ is located on a charm that could be held and pointed in a much more subtle manner. This is actually worse.
Gonna have to do a running tally of parking decks designed and built before they start building Ballard Link.
The Sound Transit Board unanimously approved $10 million to advance the $100 million Renton parking garage to a shovel-ready design. It's on a Stride BRT stop. Background on the Renton parking garage debate here: www.theurbanist.org/sound-transi...
Seattle Public Schools further added that the 15 minute lunch break they generously provide elementary school students should be sufficient for a small child to theoretically eat **some** of the pizza.

This historic paint job is a wonderful relic from the time Seattle hosted a few World Cup games. That's why we need to nominate these paintings for historic preservation. I'm also starting the 9th and Pine Preservation Alliance and demanding SDOT defer to us for any proposed work.
World Cup is long gone, but Ninth Avenue between Pike and Pine streets remains closed due to stubborn paint.
If business leaders are so concerned about police response times, they should have addressed their letter to Mike Solan instead.
Seattle business leaders asked Mayor Katie Wilson and the Seattle City Council to commit to a series of demands on public safety on Thursday, including increasing police patrols and clearing encampments in some areas.
6PPD kills far more fish than the light rail over Lake Washington ever could. This problem with the bridge will be solved. Will we put in the same effort to reduce the damage due to 6PPD? Of course not.
Federally protected Chinook salmon were among the dead fish found this summer in Lake Washington under Sound Transit’s new light rail tracks.
Every day I wonder why Claudia Balducci endorsed Bruce Harrell.
using an AI (which is already steeped in ethics controversies) to read out scripts about ***ethics***, waste, fraud, abuse, etc, is deeply ironic. He also announced he's hired Natalie Walton-Anderson today. Safe to say my support for him ends here.
The time has come: Pedestrianize I-5
There is not a single pedestrianization project in the city that has created more opponents than supporters following implementation. Mayor Wilson needs to fast-track these projects so that we live with them for a few years and come to actually love + defend them, well before her next election.
The town of Carnation, originally named Tolt, was renamed after the Carnation Evaporated Milk Company of Kent WA moved their dairy operations there. They exerted so much control they renamed the goddamned town.
I can guarantee that if I, a Seattle resident, set up shop in Carnation and drove there every day from Seattle and then tried to exert control over, well basically anything, they’d run me out of town tarred and feathered, and the tenure of my shop ownership would mean absolutely nothing to anyone.
