Hearing from multiple sources that King County's Executive Climate Office (ECO) is set to be fully eliminated under the new administration.
Continuing to hear more and more about a significant staff shakeup at King County, ahead of Executive-elect Girmay Zahilay's swearing in next week. Scores of policy shop folks, including those in the county's climate office, have been invited to apply to keep their own jobs, and morale is not great.

This race is likely over.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

I really like King County Metro's new ad campaign, centered on transit destinations, much more than Sound Transit's current campaign that paints drivers as mindless zombies.
