My official Burien Cat Lady 2025 general election endorsements:

✅ voted yes on all the taxes and levies- I hate our regressive tax system in WA but until we fix that I’m going to keep voting for more taxes because we desperately need the services they fund.

Seattle, get you a mayor who doesn’t hate taco stands

Burien, get us a city council who doesn’t hate taco stands too

Until congress responds with the rage, fear, and courage of this man, they are letting me down and they are letting you down.

He once filed a PDC complaint against a member of the public for mentioning that she was talking to voters about a ballot initiative during public comment 🤦‍♀️ he thinks the PDC exists to stop him from hearing things he disagrees with!

My first baby batch of whistle kits!

These are going to #Burien tonight to be handed out a candidate forum for airport-impacted communities

Photo of a bunch of whistle kits. Each whistle kit is a small plastic baggie with a zine and a whistle. The zines have whistle art and say “form a crowd, stay loud” and “protegernos unos a otros”
Some of the whistles are orange plastic with orange cord, some are classic metal with yellow cord, and some are cylindrical colored aluminum with key rings.

"The Urbanist elections committee doesn’t choose our endorsement based on lifestyle but it’s hard to find a candidate who lives urbanist values more than DeVito. He doesn’t own a car, traveling by e-bike & transit. He’s a KC Metro employee & former vice chair of the Burien Planning Commission."

Most folks know how passionate I am about street safety, housing, and transit. So it will come as no surprise how thrilled I am to have the endorsement of so many transportation organizations. Thank you so much for the support @theurbanist.org @seattletru.bsky.social, WA Bikes and Transportation4WA!

Wilson led successful campaigns to raise minimum wages in Tukwila, Burien, and unincorporated King County–those are the efforts for which Harrell gives all credit to elected officials. (In reality, Burien at least is STILL fighting against the minimum wage).

Kevin Schilling, the mayor of Burien running for state legislative office this year in Washington is an example of everything wrong with democrats. This assessment goes easy on him if you can believe that….

One of the CMs has a clear conflict of interest and is refusing to recuse herself from the votes. This is not how our government is meant to operate.

Tell them you want to know how the animals in the custody of your city and paid for by your tax dollars are being treated: [email protected]

Burien Cat Lady 🇵🇸 @buriencatlady.bsky.social · 10d

The council is trying to bury this so CARES doesn’t have to address the issues publicly. We need people to tell council that you want regular oversight and transparency from your taxpayer funded animal control agency.

If you didn’t watch tonight’s Burien city council meeting, you need to! It was reported that CARES has failed multiple health inspections & the council never knew about it- including major issues like failing adequately vaccinate, isolate, clean, feed, & water dogs & keeping dogs in too small cages.

Burien Cat Lady 🇵🇸 @buriencatlady.bsky.social · 10d

Oh look, this is extremely easy to find in the CARES contract - does this mean I’m the new city attorney????

CM Garcia gets thumbs for a discussion ICE and steps to require fed officers not to mask. Also requests a legal update on minimum wage which city manager says would have to be in executive session.

Deputy Mayor Moore thanks the mayor and city manager for their efforts but wants to sign on. Mayor suggests signing on with an additional request, gets thumbs for that.

I love how Andrade is saying $3M isn't that much for the state so she isn't for taking $500 a year because it's not enough.

Burien Cat Lady 🇵🇸 @buriencatlady.bsky.social · 10d

lets council know they need to sign on by th eend of the year and the state will lose MILLIONS if we don't ... seems like they tried to hold the state hostage and failed?
