How much time in council meetings has been spent talking about graffiti and shoplifting vs traffic safety?
The former do not kill constituents like the latter, but I would not be surprised if it was easily twice as much.

I wanted to compare what I saw on Seattle's Line 1 LRT with Toronto's Finch LRT.
In Seattle, you can see left turning cars waiting while fast-moving transit gets priority. Help TTCriders make it happen in Toronto: www.ttcriders.ca/greenlight

The “emergency vehicle access” discourse about shared/ped streets is missing the fact that a legit reason to install bollards is protection from SPD
In August, two cop cars crashed in Beacon Hill.
We got the video. It's glorious.

I’d like to apply to join the Seattle Times Editorial Board. I’m not very smart but I assume they consider that a plus.

King County’s new “Stop Hate Hotline” is now live — a non-police option for reporting hate crimes and bias incidents, available 24/7 in 200 languages.
Officials say the resource aims to support communities that haven’t always felt safe reporting to law enforcement.

Yep, JBLM took about 2/3rds of what was them the Nisqually Reservation, and still stands. The Reservation is now only 1,728 acres after 3,353 were stolen.

@seattledot.bsky.social safety issue on the 6th Ave in SODO: these are the wrong type of storm drain for a bike lane. Bike tires will get stuck in the grate.

The war on cars is purely a defensive one
They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school.
And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this.
This is not a serious society.
