Literally a week after Barnes was fired the hours of the CARE team were expanded from 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM - 1:00 AM. Firing Barnes got results fast! www.instagram.com/p/DboFnMosVVJ/

The Brem Fire Department pissed off a bunch of politically active people by opposing bike protection on Central Brem's 6th Street multimodal safety project. If they lose, it will have been a factor, I'm certain. www.theurbanist.org/op-ed-will-b...

We reached final design for the 1st Ave NE Shared-Use Path. The path makes it easier to get to James Baldwin Elementary School & Northacres Park. It connects to new walking & biking facilities on NE 130th St, Sound Transit's Pinehurst Station & the new Route 77 bus. www.seattle.gov/transportati...

Tree Action Seattle, a sponsored organization of the Seattle Parks Foundation - a 501(c)3 org - put up an Instagram post last night promoting candidates who had been endorsed by TreePAC. I do not believe that little disclaimer at the bottom is going to cut it here.

We projected 45% turnout for this election, King County. As of 8 a.m., 19% of you had turned out. You've got until 8 p.m. tonight to make your voice heard! kce.wiki/DropBox has a list and map of all 91 official ballot drop boxes across the county.

Minneapolis, I'm going to be in your city later this week! Anyone want to ride bikes? Apart from childhood trips directly to the Mall of America, this will be my first time actually getting to explore Minneapolis.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Your boss and your landlord have voted.

Everyone who is mad about LWB bike weekends, the L8 getting fixed, and children getting fed at school has already voted.

Good framing.

@cmeddielin.bsky.social @mayor.seattle.gov @alexis4seattle.bsky.social Could we get some information about how the decision to kneecap transit in the Rainier Valley for Seafair was made? And who we need to complain to to fix it?

This should be the last year the bus lane on Rainier gets "opened" for Seafair drivers. This is not an effective way to move people, and it's completely unfair to transit dependent Rainier Valley residents. bsky.app/profile/mesm...

I still can’t believe someone thought: “How do we get tens of thousands of people to and from a residential neighborhood? Let’s kneecap transit service for everyone in the area!”

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced LaborThe lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.futurism.com

Shocking.

Never forget, we can double the # of people in a pedestrian street or people-place in 2 ways— by doubling the # of people who come (which is harder), or by doubling the length of time people stay (easier, but we often get this wrong). My kids played in this spot for an hour. Make streets magnetic.

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.
