You’re right that they should go much farther next time and do more areas, but it’s still a major leap in the right direction.

Congratulations and love from Washington State! 🎊🎉

No. She's 77 years old. Dem voters should refuse to vote for any first-time candidates over 60 and any incumbents over 70. Elderly Dems dying in office is a real problem — Rs would have a much slimmer House majority right now if ancient Dems weren't dropping dead.

Sounds like Barnes didn’t know how bad this guy was, which honestly isn’t great when making these decisions.

That being said, kudos for not doubling down, and opting to fix it instead 👍

Missed this while typing: Harrell told the crowd, which was not giggling, "You can giggle if you want, but 18% of Americans are homeless." This is not true.

For real. If we were going to have one pedestrian promenade in downtown, it really should be 1st Ave.

What if The Ave was pedestrianized permanently?

Great job Noah! I think I might still go, just in case there was a miscommunication 😅.

Underrated part of this is that Harrell acknowledges Wilson has great ideas. Harrell’s “experience” has been doing nothing, and he will probably continue to do nothing in the face of Trump

Erica C. Barnett @ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 10d

In his closing statement, Harrell said, "This is not the time for hope. Passion and great ideas and inexperience is just not going to get us there. Trump will walk all over a person without experience, period."

Okay thanks!

Good: keeping the bus lane, helping the 2 actually use it, and adding a bike crossing on 11th.

Bad: Does this mean they removing the bike lane on 10th?

Many of Harrell's reelection donations are from the Eastside.
SDOT is suddenly making this change because of Eastside drivers.

Hot take @bsky.app , “skeet” is the perfect term for a post here. Like in skeet shooting, you launch it into the blue and people take shots at it.

Kudos to Juarez for standing for what’s right.

Moore lied to voters about what she believed, and spent her stint on the council undercutting housing at every turn. She earned negative credibility to advise policy, and I’m glad most of the council recognized that.

Maritza Rivera running away with it, working hard every day to ensure as few people as possible have the same housing opportunities she had.

She won her election by 235 votes.
