I see residents of Bellevue's Newport Hills have decided to go with the talking point that their streets have a "1960s design" as the reason that they can't handle additional housing density.

To me, a "1960s design" would be building another highway through the area, demolishing hundreds of homes.

Tuned into the Bellevue Planning Commission meeting tonight where a resident of Eastgate is complaining that high school students who attended an open house on a neighborhood plan in Eastgate were "bribed" with extra credit to be there, pushing for youth to not be given "equal weight" with others.

Great news! @lgbtqvictoryfund.bsky.social announced it is endorsing my race for LWSD School Board Director! It is supporting my candidacy because they know that I will be a strong voice for equality when elected and that, with your support, I'm on-track to win.

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

Happy #WeekWithoutDriving! Today I made a Costco trip (about 3 miles, round trip) and only got slightly damp.

🚶🚲🚌🦼 Over 30% of King County residents don’t drive—and yet most of our transportation system is built for those who do. That’s why the King County Council has proclaimed Sept. 30-Oct 5 the Week Without Driving—to better understand and address these challenges. #WeekWithoutDriving
