I think every able bodied person that lives in the wui should be required to own an emergency evacuation ebike that they use to keep roads clear for disabled people and first responders.

I for one think it shows a real lack of clarity and ability to lead. Why couldn't they announce this change earlier in the day. Are we sure the Seafair organization is really up to the task of running Seafair. We'll need to see clearer communication from them in the future.

I'm pretty uncomfortable with the Seattle Times and a number of members of council seemingly gleefully encouraging insubordination from high level members of the executive branch.

I'll say this again, transportation safety orgs like @streetsalliance.bsky.social should be involved in the police chief search because traffic safety is consistently the number one public safety issue in Seattle.

I hope that we'll see transportation advocacy orgs represented in this search committee. The top public safety concern for a number of years from Seattle residents is dangerous driving. A new police chief should be able to engage with that reality.

Forgiving infrastructure means building so that when people make mistakes they don't have deadly consequences. I hope that the city and state will look to see if changes can be made to prevent the next person that makes the same mistake from dying.

Has the Seattle Times given up on journalistic impartiality?

Seafair needs to get it's act together on transit access. The region expects to be able to take transit to events. www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/...

If you ignore all the times it's been used as intended to heap arbitrary stochastic costs on projects, and the rest of the times when the risk of stochastic costs causes developers to not even try, then design review isn't that expensive.

How is it that the department hadn't figured out how the chain of command works while Barnes was commuting 4 hours from Chicago twice a week?

A friendly reminder that you should view all actions from CM Hollingsworth through the lens that she is running for mayor at the behest of the institutions that supported Bruce Harrell

I won't wade into the Black Community piece of this, but I'll point out "supporters of public safety and community accountability" is also very loaded. I'd argue safe streets orgs are supporters of public safety, but haven't been included in this discussion either.

It was really cool to see the Downtown Sounds street festival in Bellingham yesterday. Really makes me wish we could do this type of thing on Rainer Ave.

I am uncomfortable with what appears to be the Seattle Times take on the shooting in the Seattle Center which is that we need to be "realistic" and add security expense to every public event.

I'm glad we have Danny Westneat to deliver cutting insights like "[The Seattle center] has more entrances on its open campus than a stadium does." www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Bar guns from Seattle Center? That should be an easy oneThere are costs to barring guns from Seattle Center at big events, in both freedom and finances. But it’s still an obvious choice in gun-crazed America.www.seattletimes.com

Not a fan of this vision ~1 deaths design that gives up near the bus stop instead of creating a continuous safe lane with a floating bus stop.

When we add density to lots homes sell for well under $1M. For example this home which is selling for 750k. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Congratulations to CM Lin for taking a small but serious step towards addressing NIMBYism
