Does Federal Way even have a real downtown? It’s such a massive sprawl.
Northbound (Seattle, Everett)
*connect to Eastbound (Bellevue) at…
Southbound (Tacoma)
should be the only eventual wayfinding signage for Link at the airport.
System maps posted strategically can fill in the details

Congratulations. What a huge step forward.
I know Lanefab is a relatively small design build firm, but I’m so impressed with what I’ve read of your work so far. I’d love to talk to you about potential opportunities to come up and be a part of it.

I just sent an inquiry via the larch labs website about opportunities with you and/or Seattle Social Housing to transition from healthcare project management and oversight to housing and land use/urban planning. It would be great to connect if you’re available.

Thank you for this, Erica, et al.
The future of the city revolves around family-friendly amenities - libraries, parks, and schools.
The sooner we focus both development and transit on these areas and work to grow small business with mixed-use there, the better.

Even the dreamers don’t seem to imagine the Skyline making it out to Kahala, ‘Āina Haina, and Hawaii Kai unfortunately.
I like the overall look but agree with you about how much certain labels stand out.

I guess we’ll have to work on getting more dedicated transit lanes, higher frequencies, and improved accessibility so that eventually every bus route qualifies as a “transit corridor”

Millie is still a special kind of Red and always will be but, more importantly, Klopp was a VERY special kind of manager. He could still inspire love from the players, even when they didn’t like him.
There are very few people with his combination of charisma, empathy, and humility.

The city needs to take over the lots behind Husky Deli, Puerto Vallarta, etc. and standardize parking rates and PayByPhone there to align with elsewhere. Then we can fully pedestrianize California between Edmonds and Oregon, or at least make it a shared street with protected bike lanes.

This is the way. The upfront cost of proper HVAC design and construction in schools is only expensive if you never think of the downstream benefits. Airflow patterns within the room and upstream filtration have been well studied in other sectors. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel.

My next kitchen will have a refrigerator, hot plate, toaster oven/air fryer/food dehydrator, automatic pressure cooker, and dishwasher.

As an adult who can now consistently afford groceries, I feel a certain pride standing in line and talking to the cashier on my way through.
The grocery chains may disagree, but I will never call addressing my hunger as a child however I could “stealing.”

Since I have no power in the industry, is it okay for me to still talk unending shit about Owen Wilson, Adam Driver, and other contenders for world’s worst leading man?
