@waterfrontparksea.bsky.social why couldn't we keep this energy this year? People yearn for third spaces, especially during the big dark and just found out this won't be happening this year due to bureaucracy, so disappointed in the city! Give us a reason to come down in winter!! 😭
Tuli Lodge gave Seattle a new reason to gather: community, cold plunges and an affordable sauna experience in the city. Here's our Q&A with founder & CEO Hannah Goldstein: https://bit.ly/4rD35Gd
We can learn a lot from our neighbors up north in Vancouver BC on how to maximize urban vitality on waterfronts! I’d love to see lake Washington blvd look more like this in the future @transportation.seattle.gov @mayor.seattle.gov

What do Paris, Montreal, Barcelona and Brussels have in common? “If you look at the cities doing the most to reclaim public streets from the automobile and give it to people, they often have one thing in common, and that's strong female leadership.” @thewaroncars.bsky.social LISTEN: bit.ly/3MdP82L
1/3 We wonder why people don’t linger, socialize, or feel connected to public space, then we design parks with nowhere to sit and lighting that tells you to keep moving. Seattle doesn’t lack space. It lacks inviting third spaces. And that is a policy and design choice. @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social
3/3 More benches, human scale lighting, and space for people to read, walk, and exist without being rushed out. These are the kinds of places that support connection, dignity, and daily life. @seattleparksandrec.bsky.social we can choose to build a city that welcomes people!
