This is amazing.
The momentum to fix the 8 is UNPRECEDENTED!

THANK YOU ALL for coming out and supporting the 8!!! It’s honestly so surreal how much fun we had today and how amazing it is to know how many people care about this bus as much as I do!
Is Seattle (already back to 2019 traffic) prepared for the massive influx of cars on the road?
Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Not anymore!
seattle's comprehensive plan as written has ensured that quiet blocks are apparently only for people who can afford expensive detached houses.
we limit dense housing to those same loud, polluted and dangerous corridors. it's the hallmark of the mayor's horrendous comp plan update as well.

Announcement says train to Angle Lake, signages say “Lynwood City Center” or “Federal Way Downtown”
Unclear which one is “Seattle Downtown” even
“2 Line Testing in-progress do not board test trains” train approaches, completely unmarked with a number

Hello Seattle Urbanists — if we want market rate development to happen with all the interest rates and tariffs and other barriers we have to get rid of MHA temporarily to speed up housing. And we have to get rid of minimum parking requirements. Asap.

The right lane is
BUS ONLY except if you don’t care

UPDATE: The SR 99 tunnel remains closed in Seattle due to a power outage. There is no estimate for power restoring/the tunnel reopening. Seek alternate routes and plan for added travel time.

But on demand transit is the future...right?
Reported by @techcrunch.com
What worries me- what happens to those of us who rely on transit in the communities that have been convinced to abandon fixed route systems because Via is the future. And if Via can't make the math work, then what?

At grade infill station: $200M
How is this so expensive?? That's 20% of king county metro's entire operating budget!

Long promised and approved by voters in 2016, the cost to build two deferred Link stations in Seattle and Tukwila jumped by more than two-thirds in a few short years. The projects are likely to be put under a microscope along with big-ticket ST3 projects.

Seattle Finally just achieved (Rounded) Vision Zero
Hey! Let's not round 0.4% of all crashes in Seattle - which were fatality crashes, where someone or some people died - down to zero! Let us also pretend we have heard of 'significant digits!'

Seattle doesn’t operate trash pickup, that’s Recology. No matter. Wilson said she wanted “the trash to be picked up”
The disingenuous whiners at the Seattle Times ed board actually suggested that Katie Wilson—mayor-elect and the founder of the Transit Riders Union (who used to do outreach at the bus stop on Third and Union)—doesn't know that the county, not the city, runs the buses. Cry harder, losers

I do want to note Mamdani's transition specifically calling attention to like, people applying for city jobs and how many CVs they got in the mail, etc, because when was the last time you saw a politician actually talk about expanding state capacity other than hiring more cops?

Transit service should increase next year (but not back to 2019 levels) by depleting the Transit Measure's reserve fund.
Funding that could go to bus service will also finance Sound Transit's inability to permit themselves and operations for the Streetcar, which is no longer funded by Sound Transit

Seattle used to fund so much transit service until covid (and jenny durkan)
In 2019, almost 75% of the city lived within walking distance of a bus every 10 mins or better. Today, it's only like 50%!
Time to get the buses running again!

Very very bad news
Trump Admin is planning to ask Congress to dramatically cut funding for transit as part of the 2026 infrastructure law.
The proposal would eliminate the transit account, which funds billions of dollars in capital expenses. It would also prevent states from “flexing” roads funds for transit.

DOT recently sent two proposals to the White House budget office seeking to pare back transit money.
