My two cents is most of them are just overwhelmed with the complexity and just fail to overcome it. And voters don't necessarily punish that.

Mamdani seems like a prog willing to ruffle feathers to pass good government reforms.

Dean Preston was a prog who was unwilling to do this

Like 90% of local elected Dems are mod Dems unwilling to ruffle feathers.

I do think it should be a priority of WA to consolidate conurbation suburban cities and special districts within UGAs into sizable governments. Independent local gov serving 6k, 3k, 20k, etc people is very inefficient and leads to nonsense patchworks of arbitrary disparities

There were talks of a foot ferry from here to Seattle... Would be super awesome.

Pretty good neighborhood all things considered, wish the rest of the parking lots looked like it though.

Had to carpool to work though. Up 405 to I-90 to get to the office on like 160th. Traffic was awful coming home. I tried commuting on the 240 once and it didn't go great. But used it to get to Seattle once and rode the F once or twice.

Lived at Bristol at Southport for a summer interning with Boeing. Some of the other interns were at those apartments you circled.

Got to walk around Gene Coulon Park every day, grocery shopped at the Target, movies at Regal.

Pretty awesome walkable neighborhood for a kid from suburbia.

Yeah it’s where they did corporate housing for Boeing when I interned there.

Used to live across Southport Drive! Was actually pretty nice.

Refs doing their best to remind fans they're here too.

Scarcity of Bitcoin is a bug, not a feature. Moving off the gold standard was a good thing. State bank is a great idea though and something we can do today.

Take the train to Pompeii

@alexis4seattle.bsky.social can maybe help?

Gotta set up the DNS username to celebrate 👀

Too socialist or not socialist enough?

Unions endorsing Bruce back in May was lame.

"If you have a water view, Bruce Harrell might be for you!"
