The real problem are the hyperfast four-wheelers that kill over 40,000 people a year.

But sure let's talk about fast moving e-bikes that kill almost no one. If we built wide protected bike lanes with plenty of room for passing e-bikes and fast cyclists could easily pass slow moving cyclists.

This chart doesn't seem to include the Kemper Freedman factor that keeps Bellevue from doing anything about traffic.

MSM be like...
The trump administration says up is down and black is white. But experts don't agree causing many people to question reality.

It's so much easier and way less expensive to just provide housing to the unhoused and mental health care to those in need.

However in the US, people are more interested in paying loads more for failed solutions that punish people who need help.

Pathetic. The biased courts have proven once again that women can not expect to get justice through the legal system.

NOPE! No more surveillance! I'm so done with these police state tactics. ACAB

Does she believe Seattle can become a 100% bikable city like Paris is becoming under the leadership of mayor Anne Hidalgo?

How many streets will she redesign for pedestrians and cyclists for emissions free zones in Seattle neighborhoods?

The more the mad king dismantles the federal government, the easier it is to make the case that states should split off into new self governed countries.

It's clear the "union" is no longer united. Let's draft a EU like acquis communautaire with other blue states and declare independence.

I love these mass timber build projects and passivhaus designs that improve the built environment.

What do you think about incorporating uneven floors that are more like the earth's natural surfaces, similar to how Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna was built?

Where are the new impeachment articles?

I'm still waiting for Dems to actually fight to uphold the Constitution. If the party in power ignores the law and the opposition party ignores the law breaking then the federal government should be shut down.

The question now is...
Will these military leaders start drafting invasion plans for US cities to appease trump
OR
will they defend the Constitution and the people of the US in opposition to trump?

I love the new trail under 520. However, it's frustrating that the trail is blocked by construction fences on NE 76th St near H Mart. Everyone on the trail squeezed through the gap between the fences and the street because no one wants to cross the street without protection. Clear the trail Redmond!

This "week without driving" is rather rainy. Despite the wet I saw lots of people on the 2 line this morning and the 550 bus was packed.

Everyone stay dry out there. ❤️

Primary every Dem who voted to block impeachment and is silent while trump violates the Constitution over and over.

Vote for progressives willing to actually fight for democracy.

Don't Back Down!

If you were telling the truth about fighting for the people, now it's the time to fight.

Let the Repugs shut down the government and stand your ground for healthcare funds, to get troops out of our cities, and for the epstein files.

This is what you get when the most inefficient mode of transit is what the majority of people use. These poor people would all be home before midnight if they had frequent, reliable public transit and used it.

WSDOT Traffic @traffic.wsdot.wa.gov · 11d

For those heading to see the Mariners or Sounders play tonight: SB I-5 is closed through Kent. 🚨 Expect SIGNIFICANT delays heading south on I-5 or SR 167 in S. King Co.

We anticipate that backups won’t clear up until midnight. Use transit if you can.

We have built an environment that requires you to live in constant fear of being crushed to death every time you walk out your front door. It's exhausting being on high alert everywhere you go. There has to be a better way to live.

America needs to simply accept the EU elevator standards and join modern society.

Clearly our overpriced, oversized elevators are too much trouble for housing developers. It's criminal that we have such a low number of homes that are accessible for people with disabilities or bad knees.
