Lower and middle income households pay an unfair share of the tax burden in Seattle. We have some rebalancing to do. Asking big businesses and wealthy folks to pay their fair share in making this city great is part of that.

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.

The lack of urgency around land use and vehicle miles traveled — a major contributor to emissions — continues to stun me. In California, the nominally progressive head of the Senate housing committee is opposed to denser housing construction because she's worried about parking!

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

"Parking is a government-mandated tax on new housing and small businesses that we want, and the result that we get from it is more pavement, more air pollution, more tire dust, 6PPDQ pollution, and we know that it drives more traffic." - @masonthompson.bsky.social

Even though City Attorney Ann Davison's office ignored our request for a copy of Eric Greening's settlement with the city, PubliCola STILL broke the story (and got the number right) 9 hours before the Seattle Times (and our story went up 8 hours before theirs). tinyurl.com/26mdhrab

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand just how lazy, moronic & dishonest Trump’s “math” is, that he claims is the basis for his “reciprocal tariffs” on nations all over the world (spoiler: they aren’t reciprocal), please watch this excellent CBC explanation by Andrew Chang.

Then please share it.

We will be out at the Cap Hill Farmers Market this Sunday encouraging community members to contact Senator Pedersen to urge a "yes" vote on rent stabilization. You can also take action now secure.everyaction.com/eymvy_sZyEej...

32.7 - Measuring 32.7 yards, 18-year-old Jordyn Bugg's goal for Seattle reign on Saturday was the longest ever struck by a teenager in #NWSL history. Audacity.

After months of advocacy by Nickelsville, and a week after I reported on Seattle's cancellation of its Brighton Village in @realchangenews.bsky.social, the city seems to have reversed course. Seattle's HSD said this Wednesday that Nickelsville can resume developing the site into a tiny house village

Let's make Musk pay for his illegal attacks on working people!

This Saturday, join the #TeslaTakedown protest at the U Village Tesla Showroom in Seattle: actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

Not in North Seattle? There are more protests across the state, find one near you!

NEW: What makes BLUESKY the new “IT” place for Urbanists? It’s pretty significant that the American Planning Association is putting this out there to its huge membership. I was interviewed for it, as was @mitchellsilver.bsky.social & others.

Please share!

One commenter wants more housing. Another wants less. Can you guess which is which?
