She/Her. ✡️. Interests are vast, but not necessarily deep. Kindness (except when I feel snarky) and harm reduction. No right on red is my personal pedestrian safety commitment 😄

The City of Seattle is willing to talk about reducing the width of Rainier between Massachusetts and Dearborn where it's SIX lanes adjacent to lots of new apartment construction and small businesses. We can't have WSDOT saying it can't be done because congestion. Congestion is a good thing.

Even more than the fact that the trains don't go to these places yet, the new signage is confusing to visitors in that it might lead them to believe Federal Way has a downtown.

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.
We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.
We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.
And we won.

I called Mayor-elect Wilson to extend my congratulations. It’s been a very long time since King County and Seattle have both elected new leaders at the same time. That means we have an opportunity for a true reset, to try new strategies and form new partnerships to tackle our region’s challenges.

Remember the immigration raid on the apartment complex in Chicago almost two months ago? The one with the Black Hawk helicopter and federal agents rappelling on ropes? @ProPublica decided to take a deeper look. We found little evidence to support the government’s claims. 🧵

Exactly this. Katie Wilson has done more for the city of Seattle on policy than Bruce Harrell has 12 years on city council and 4 years as mayor. It was her JumpStart Tax proposal that saved Harrell’s budget this year.
I can't believe Seattle would elect someone with only 15 years experience organizing successful local legislation campaigns.
