The Lime + transit hack explained: How to get a Lime ride and 3 transit tickets for $1.66*
Screenshot of my Lime ride summary. The points history from the Transit GO app shows that I earned a total of 1,000 points and used only 600 of them buying two light rail tickets. Yesterday, I took a Lime scooter to U District Station, then took light rail to Mountlake Terrace, then back to the U District several hours later, and it only cost $1.66 total.* I did not cheat or dodge any fares, and I did not use any low-income discount transit programs such as ORCA Lift.

Sometimes I am writing a story and think, "Hey, I wonder if anyone has ever written about this before." So I do a web search and find an old story...written by me.

More good news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 7.2% in October! Or to quote the PDA's own words the market has had "exceptional sales performance of our tenants." (pikeplacemarket.community.highbond.com/document/fd1...)
📈 So far every month of the pedestrianization pilot sales have been up!

It would be horrible for the Seattle Curbed archive to just vanish.
I've received many messages about this over the last two weeks — people still read, reference, and link to these stories WRITTEN BY REAL REPORTERS who knew their cities better than anyone else. I figured a fix might have been delayed due to holiday breaks but this needs to be remedied immediately!
The archives for the old Curbed city sites have been offline for at least two weeks. If these sites are gone for good, it’s not just a loss for those who contributed to Curbed over the years, but a loss of ~15 years of reporting on new development, neighborhoods, and architecture criticism.

Just confirmed this Lime + transit hack works.
Ha! It works! $1.66 for a scooter ride (>.25mi and <5min), parked in a designated spot near the station, got a free 2hr adult light rail pass through Transit Go.

Yes, questions such as, “What are you going to do to stop this illegal war for oil, Senator?”
President Trump’s actions today with Venezuela raise more questions than answers. Is America going to be involved in running and stabilizing Venezuela? Today's actions raise many questions about the stability of the region and our policy towards South America.

About 200 people are rallying in downtown Seattle to denounce U.S. military strikes on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president Nicolás Maduro. The attacks occurred overnight and were authorized by U.S. President Donald Trump. Organizers called for a new anti-war movement to oppose the attacks.

Another war for oil. These monsters only know greed and cruelty.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Legislators need to pronounce this proposal as dead on arrival. The climate crisis is getting worse, and Trump is determined to stop climate action. We need these funds to go to build the infrastructure and services needed to reduce climate pollution - as voters made clear when they approved it.
