Last night at our annual fundraiser, we announced our new name: Tacoma On the Go. We're formalizing that we're working for safe mobility for all across Tacoma, not just downtown. So, so deeply appreciative of all the support as we head into our next era!

A deciding game under the lights at T-Mobile Park.

At its core, isn't this why we do it? We ride the highs and lows for six months hoping it matters for right now. It's stressful and nerve-wracking and nausea-inducing and I hope as Mariners fans we can find the joy in that.

Doors will open in T-minus 26.5 hours, but there's still time to register!

Local elections matter. Transportation matters. The five people who win Bellevue's elections in November will make decisions that affect *you* - don't you wanna know what they think?

It must be that you know what is happening at all!

You must stay perfectly uninformed for the next 2 hours

A note to local elected officials - (obviously you should have never listened to him because he's maliciously spread misinformation, but) listening to Jonathan Choe and giving his narratives legitimacy in 2025 is directly supporting fascism

Jonathan Choe to Trump: "Another group right now that is behind antifa and working with antifa very closely based on the research that we have right now that we're gonna give to you and your team are the Democratic Socialists of America."

Also is the bag policy normal afayk?

Considering going tomorrow for the watch party, what concessions are open? Alcohol options, anything that's *not* contactless/grab and go?
