The assessed value of Broadmoor & Sandpoint Golf Courses has been <$1/sq ft since 1983 even while Seattle property has increased 2000-2400%. KCAssessor claimed value of private courses was transferred to the CC homes. It's not. We need to eminent domain the courses @councilmember-amr.bsky.social

The Roy Disney Family has at least 4 of these office buildings for the people managing their wealth. Maybe we should tax the rich?

What if @governorferguson.bsky.social taxed billionaires for our kids’ education rather than praising them for “gifting” money they extracted from Washington workers? Tax wealth not work, Bob

Bruce Harrell started a new City of Seattle TikTok the week before the primary. Averaged 6 posts a week promoting himself. Zero posts since the election. But the SEEC claims he didn’t violate election laws by using govt resources to promote his campaign.
Bruce is corrupt. We must not let this slide

Bruce Harrell tacitly acknowledges that his childhood trauma of poverty is why he attacked Wilson so vociferously for not being wealthy like him.

Bruce won the millionaire vote. He’s definitely popular with rich white people.
Also not sure how a mayor with >50% of the vote can be credibly called “unpopular” or run “60 points behind other progressives”.
The math doesn’t math

It’s curious to me that someone could look at this map and say Katie Wilson is the mayor of Capitol Hill. Or that Bruce Harrell represents “real Seattle”. Nah. He always and only represented the wealthy (white) older landowners against the younger more economically precarious residents

Well @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social has broken 50%. She has a majority. Suck it @bruceforseattle.bsky.social Don’t let the light rail hit your a$$ on the way back to Bellevue

In which @jtalton.bsky.social reveals he’s a hack and not to be trusted as a business reporter. We’ve had decades of failed mayoral leadership (McGinn excepted), and we certainly don’t need a sexist frat boy at the helm any longer

There is a curious pattern here.
Bruce Harrell rarely goes above 9 press statements a month. Only 4x before this year has 13. And then in the 2 months before the primary he does 13, and then 20 in each of Sept & Oct. Coincidence or subtle misusing of public office?

I guess I've become *that guy*. Here's yet another @bruceforseattle.bsky.social ethics violation I'm finding I must report. For the life of me I don't understand why the SEEC can't just investigate these on their own without a formal complaint, but it is what it is.

Good news! @alexis4seattle.bsky.social Dionne Foster and Erika Evans have won a resounding victory, repudiating the politics of hopelessness represented by the Conservatives on Council.
Fingers crossed @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social wins as the later returns come in over the week

Is anyone @adamsmith.house.gov @jayapal.house.gov talking about how this adjournment is illegal? And if illegal, then are the other rules valid? And if not: why can’t Democrats take control?

Additionally Horsey defines Seattle as an HOA that has right of refusal for who lives here, not a city. And the Seattle Times tacitly acknowledges that he’s such a piece of shit they can’t allow anyone to comment
