From Seattle, for Seattle. 🌲🏔️🏙️ Policy wonk and civil servant. || Advocate for public schools 🍎, dense cities, safe streets, racial and social equity, and supporting our most vulnerable. || Opinions are my own.
Also, the data trend is FLAT for all groups. Unless we change behavior, why would we see change? Right now, some schools have extra reading specialists at their school because the PTA funds it. This data show that ALL kids at ALL schools need more reading intervention.

Me too, but I think I like what it appears to be?

More evidence that home prices go up more rapidly when supply grows slowly. Restrictive zoning to blame. Seattle, let’s vote in a Mayor who has the urgency to take bold steps to create more housing and help us become more affordable! #WilsonforMayor #VoteWilson www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

On to light rail, where I will arrive at work in the same amount of time as if I were driving. But light rail is cheaper, better for the environment and MUCH more enjoyable. Last week I ran into a neighbor I hadn’t seen in awhile—and we gossiped the whole way to work 😎! #weekwithoutdriving

#weekwithoutdriving photo proof of the walk to school. Let’s make sure Seattle Public School (SPS) students continue to have access to *public* schools that they can walk, bike, and roll to! (Fun fact: I’m a proud SPS alum as well as an SPS parent!)
