I was there! If she really cared about making Kirkland better for all its residents, she would celebrate community organizing that engages all citizens of Kirkland.

Instead, she divides the city between her "informed" friends and anybody who disagrees, calling them uninformed.

I also like using emdash, but it is a little bit harder on Windows. Either you have a keypad, and you can type Alt+0151 (good luck remembering that), or you don't, in which case you can do Win+period/full stop, then click on "Symbols" -> "general punctuation" and select the longest dash.

For her part, Katie responds that she "is an organizer" and she "isn't going to stop being an organizer", so she hopes to bring City Hall to the Black community instead of waiting for the most privileged members who have the time/resources to come to City Hall.

Katie gives a shoutout to @rianwatt.bsky.social who will apparently be playing a significant role in the transition.

Hooooly, the number of write-in votes is 10x her current (<100 vote) lead

She said she is looking into this! Hoping that she can help folks mobilize to prevent this like with the bus lane removal
