Took this picture today. Still waiting on SDOT to install these healthy street improvements they planned for 2024.

It's hard not to leave Sunset Dunes Park / the former Upper Great Highway without being inspired to think about what's actually possible when it comes to how we use our legacy vehicle infrastructure into the future.

In honor of the City finally releasing the Corridor maps, this sketch illustrates why living on an arterial is not the same as being close to transit.

It sucks that the “fiscally responsible” wing of the WA Democratic Party is fiscally illiterate.

I mean, yes, but we don’t need to “make historic investments,” we need to ensure our operating budgets adequately fund road and bridge maintenance.
This is the Hansen Road overpass off I-90 in Moses Lake. A few weeks ago, our WSDOT inspectors spotted signs of deterioration that made it unsafe to drive on.
This is why we need to make historic investments in our roads and bridges.

Every weekend, there’s a dozen cars illegally parked in the Occidental pedestrian plaza between Jackson and Main, but today there appears to be a classic car show there. @mayorofseattle.bsky.social, can you please return this plaza to people?

This is the first time I’ve seen the @seattledot.bsky.social 2026 levy delivery plan. Some cool projects!
However about half the projects I was looking forward to in my neighborhood in last year’s plan just… never happened? And aren’t on this year’s plan? What gives @seattledot.bsky.social?

SDOT gave me the news last week but I was hesitant to announce it until it appeared in the 2026 Seattle Transportation Levy Delivery Plan. It is mentioned on page 32.

Don’t get me started on the massive amount of crew time and money the city spends on simply replacing street signs, pedestrian buttons, street light poles, etc., destroyed by drivers every day.
Not counting the far more destructive collateral damage on adjacent property and human lives.

there has been no de-escalation.
This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

I think the mayor put it pretty well:
“To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame."

When you warehouse people without basic necessities in unconscionable conditions without a hearing or suspicion of criminal wrongdoing, you have created a concentration camp. People are reluctant to use the label b/c of its connection with Nazi death camps. But the doesn't change what they are.
