Oh so that’s why he left Iowa after pointing a gun at a pregnant woman.

"It has always been my intent to run for public office," Harrell says, talking about how he's wanted this job since he was 18. "I just said the city's been so good to me that I have to give back." He says he doesn't want to be a politician, he just wants "to serve."

At what point do west coast states start replacing these programs?

Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 8h

Lots of Epidemic Intelligence Service officers ("disease detectives") gone.
In-country staff in Africa (including those helping to manage the current Ebola outbreak) are fired.

You can’t script it. The Mariners are willed to victory by Humpy the fish finally winning his first race in the middle of the 15th inning. The crowd chants “Humpy Humpy” as the trident crosses off the ALDS win.

“We paid for a thing, didn’t use it because it might be going away, then rejected the cheaper option because we didn’t like the person in charge.”

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.

By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.

Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

Bruce Harrell and the Seattle establishment have full on embraced the post-fact world of politics that Trump kicked open. Wild how much he gets away with.

David Seater 🚶‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🏳️‍🌈 @davidseater.com · 5d

Bruce "I embrace the wealthy," "This is not the time for hope" Harrell is also "the most progressive" compared to Katie Wilson. Apparently.

As a coalition of billionaires, landlords, and real estate developers invest more than $1.2 million in Bruce Harrell’s re-election, local progressive leaders Pramila Jayapal and Teresa Mosqueda are announcing their endorsements of Katie Wilson.

A graphic in Katie Wilson for Mayor campaign colors reading "Rep. Pramila Jayapal and King County Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda announce endorsements of Katie Wilson."

Based Sound Transit??

Ryan Packer @typewriteralley.bsky.social · 9d

This is big news: Sound Transit is proposing to launch a new overnight ST Express network, once Federal Way and East Link are both fully operational.

There would be three routes: Everett-Seattle, Lakewood-SeaTac-Seattle, and Redmond-Seattle. Headways are still TBD, but expected to be around 30 min.

Overnight Service Proposal
Purpose & Goals
• Provide overnight bus service along Link lines and
core ST Express network.
• Serve riders and destinations with continuous or nontraditional need, such as hospitals and the airport.
• Combined with Metro’s late-night network, 85% of
Link station areas would be served all day and all
night.
Service Proposal
• Three routes: Everett-Seattle, Lakewood-SEA-Seattle,
and Redmond-Seattle
• Service from approx. midnight to 5 a.m., 7 days/wk;
could also support Link maintenance window expansion
• Headways: 15-60min

And when he claimed someone stole his parking spot he pointed a gun at them. So.

My power bill is higher because of the inaction of Harrell during his decade at City Hall, actually.

Erica C. Barnett @ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 10d

Harrell's contempt for Wilson has been palpable in every debate I've seen. No one would watch her speak and think she's anything but incredibly intelligent. He also just can't, hard as he tries, use her name. Incredibly, he also said she would make people's power and water bills higher.
