WA Senate Republicans used this same line of "reasoning" for opposing the Millionaire's Tax in WA yesterday. It was insultingly stupid.
Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on tariffs: "It's not regressive. Most consumption in America is done by the wealthiest people. So the idea it's somehow regressive is just wrong."

This is a pretty cool townhouse community layout. Just gotta turn the shared driveway into a courtyard. But I dig the way the buildings peak out to the street from the back.

Sometimes I’m lucky enough to see the 2-Line leave Judkins Park Station from my window and that’s a pretty cool perk I never considered when I bought this home.

I feel like you see a lot of work/live townhomes around Seattle that never realize the “work” part. In this little area of Mount Baker, there are several townhomes with businesses (yoga studio, acct biz, cafe, permanent makeup studio, spa). What’s the recipe to make it work?

Next NR zoning stacked sixplex concept:
950sf 2br/2ba, fits on a 50' wide lot, ideal for corners or double lots, mirrored plan has 35' wide front and rear facing flats. 150sf terrraces. In Seattle LR/MR, this single stair plan could be six stories/12 flats! Has space for an elevator.

Loxsmith Bagels is looking to move out of their current space next to the Beacon Hill Station. They say they’ve outgrown it. Wonder where they might be eyeing an expansion at?

The Club Pilates at Grand Street Commons has its signage up now. Probably two months or so before it’s open.

I really dig this development in Mount Baker because you get a cool canyon effect between the rowhomes.

I biked past this small home goods store in Little Saigon today called “In the Comfort Of” and it looked really nice. Stuff looks cool, but the prices… 😳 I really hope they’re successful in that location and appreciate them betting on Little Saigon.

An exciting day for public transit in Seattle!

Buildings of Seattle posted this row of homes on IG, noting an appreciation for their rhythm and stepping (while also complaining that modern townhomes suck because they use hardie board) and one of the replies was “Gentrification sucks!”

Brother… these are *cheap* by Seattle standards.

We’re going to end up in a damn Civil War because of these fascists.

And as frightening as that possibility is, there are worse potentialities: full fascist consolidation, the left completely folding, a Holocaust against Haitians and Somalis and others.

Looks like Jabooda updated the permit on this in January. Should begin construction soonish!
Also not included in that aerial view above is the project at 2007 S State St, which seems to be on pause after excavation.

I saw these while looking through old Franklin High School photos a few months ago and finally stumbled upon them again by pure chance today!

Not sure if anyone has already noted this on Bluesky, but ICE is expanding into an office at 2811 S 102nd St, Tukwila, WA 98168.
NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Just saw an Instagram Reel that said “next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or defeated… just remember that teaching is only hard for the good teachers!”

This is why many good teachers burn out and quit.

Here’s your reminder that if you have Canadian ancestry at any point in your direct family line, you are now a Canadian Citizen.

Formally recognize it and give yourself the flexibility as the fascists continue to build concentration camps.

Saw someone claiming there are some wood paved roads in St. Louis still…? Where?

Code Ninjas also has a lease signed and is getting permits now.
Grand Street Commons retail check-in

-Club Pilates will open Spring ‘26
-Skyzone should start its buildout Spring ‘26
-Grocer seems to have fallen through. That listing no longer has a pending lease.
-Seems like there are a few other retail bays with pending leases.

Congrats to Mt Baker “Community” Club for successfully eliminating all upzones near Hunter Blvd. Wouldn’t want any renters getting access to the lake!

Spent some time up in Kirkland yesterday and was thinking about how nice it would be if South Seattle could transition the Lowe’s and Pepsi properties to something more mixed-use.

Starting to accept that I’m pretty face blind.

I’ve probably watched Lidia Poët 2-3 times through now and didn’t even realize that the woman with the paparazzi in the Olympics Opening Ceremony was Matilda De Angelis until my wife pointed it out this evening.

Great show, btw.
