💯🎯 Agree. And I'm sure disabled folks could pile on here 100x!

While I need them as a guy in my 50s, raising my kids we would frantically seek out bathrooms. Towing little kids all over town will radicalize you about bathrooms real fast. Again, I don't mean to discount anyone bc humans just need bathrooms! When I travel I judge cities by toilet access.

I too would trade the World Cup in Seattle for transit station bathrooms, every time.

YES! It just seems like it should be transit station 101. I know they cost a lot to build, service, and maintain. Public restrooms are a challenge, but we just have to figure out how to provide them, even if fares go up. It's a glaring, inhumane omission.

🎯💯 So much yes. And EVERYONE thinks they need an island, and they just aren't appropriate in every home or apartment design, especially more compact spaces. They are squeezed in everywhere now and people will reject homes without them. It's bananas.

For sure! It's very common. And even the younger folks with no pee problems yet still need bathrooms regularly while using transit.

I mean, I'm a middle aged man with deteriorating prostate function, I have to pee way too often. I plan my outings around when and where I can pee. I'm not proud, and I'm not the only one, male, female, or binary, who has this challenge.

Perfect, just perfect.

They’re all over! We lived in Kenmore for 11 years and there was a raccoon family who lived near us and visited a lot. They even climbed into my roof cavity when I was remodeling.

Somebody’s been watch the new Ken Burns doc on the Revolutionary War. I’d love to see pamphlets or zines again! I prefer shorter form books too.

Excellent choice/timing
November 18, 2025 at 5:11 PM
💯 agree. It’s not the same at all. I really miss all the PAC-12 match ups I’ve known all my life. Big downgrade.
