Perhaps the way to finally get statewide SEPA reform is for someone with deep pockets to start suing to endlessly delay the building of parking garages.

Andy Randles @andyrandles.bsky.social · 13h

What is even the purpose of SEPA if a 594-stall parking garage is able to receive a "determination of non-significance"

Dear Toronto: We will stop scoring runs this game if Doug Ford agrees to stop tearing out bike lanes. Until then, the runs will continue.

Seattle deserves real action, not embellishment. I am running to bring real solutions to our homelessness crisis — not fudge the numbers. #thisisyourcity

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell is seeking reelection partly based on the claim he’s responsible for adding 3,000 emergency housing units. A deeper look reveals that’s an embellishment.

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell says he added 3,000 housing units. Did he?

Downtown could have "like, a 10-foot wall" where people could talk to AI versions of historical figures. "How cool would this be if we had like, a 10 foot wall. It's interactive and it's historical. And you could talk to Martin Luther King."...

Bruce Harrell is so out of touch with this and has no actual plan to make life better for ordinary people in Seattle.

I know this is a toughie for republicans like Suarez and reactionary centrists like Harrell, but the difference between individual citizens wearing masks and agents of the state wearing masks is that citizens are not required to identify themselves but agents of the state are.

Erica C. Barnett @ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 2d

Huge applause at Suarez' question about whether Harrell will require protesters to take off their masks like he wants to make ICE take off their masks

"And you could say, Well, Dr. Martin Luther King, I've always wanted to meet you. What was your day like today? What did you have for breakfast? And he comes back and he talks to you. How cool would that be if we have a series of historical figures that we all could agree on, that we respect?"

Like every mayor before him, Harrell wants arts and culture events downtown. The difference is that "you're going to see a lot of AI in it."

West Seattle bike commuters: The off-street trail on Marginal Way is finally open! It truly does make the ride safer and more comfortable, really appreciate all the people that made it happen. Still gotta plug your ears for train horns at Atlantic Street, though.

Hey @cascadepbs.bsky.social, any way you can show From Rails to Trails when it premieres October 15? You've got a years-old rerun of Secrets of the Dead scheduled at 7pm. Is it too late to swap that out? The Burke-Gilman Trail is featured in the trailer: www.pbs.org/video/from-r...

Who do we mean when we say “Black Seattle”?

This mayoral race isn’t about personalities—it’s about whether symbolism becomes substance. What do “seats at the table” mean if the rest of us go hungry?

E Marginal Way bikeway is now open, enjoy the street car-free for 5 more days

This summer, E Marginal Way construction crews maintained a separated bikeway coned off while the rest of the street was closed to most car and truck traffic. The street went from being a stressful and very deteriorated bike route between downtown and the Spokane Street bike trail to perhaps the most bike-friendly street in the city, at least temporarily. Now the project team has…
