I am all for street events like Capitol Hill Block Party but they should be restricted to the street, not the sidewalks. These pedestrian detours are ludicrous.

Another day another G line complaint. KC Metro’s service alert specifically says the Madison and Terry stop is only closed Eastbound. But no, they needlessly closed it Westbound too without notice. At least it’s a nice day for a walk.

Was it truly actually gone, or... Microsoft's DSC Bicep support was dropped in 3.2.0-preview.12, but that was the extension-based model. Behind the scenes, @andyleejordan.com worked on something else! I wrote about it on my blog post: www.idontlikeai.dev/bicep-never-... #bicep #microsoftdsc

Oof, the word “extension” got so overloaded. The DSC “extension” that just called Bicep underneath to get an ARM file existed only a short while. The DSC extension for Bicep is, well, a Bicep Local Extension 😂

So do we think this is an official response? The font is off, could be some “guerrilla” activism.

The bus bunching of the G Line on First Hill is so bad sometimes that I just saw three come in the span of 60 seconds. Lucky me though because I caught the third.

Paul has been talking about the tax loophole that Seattle country clubs have been enjoying for a while now but WOW I did not know how big This is Broadmoor Golf Club. It's a gated right-wing enclave for the rich in Seattle. The golf course is 7 parcels, 122.2 acres. It's assessed at just $76k/ACRE!
7 parcels:
16.17 acres $633900
43.75 acres $6253400
11.33 acres $444,100
15.43 acres $605100
15.15 acres $593900
15.7 acres $615500
4.67 acres $203267

Total 122.2 acres $9,349,167 assessed value, $76507/acreBroadmoor Golf Club from the air, showing a N-shaped green ring of turfgrass and a sprinkling of trees, surrounding a suburban-looking windy neighborhood full of cul-de-sacs.

I want to love the Madison G-line RapidRide so much but it is still so unreliable. I just had a driver at the Boylston stop drive past me, walking into the center stop, to…get to a red light. Worse: it was four minutes early.

"Katie Wilson, if nothing else, has had an audacious rise from a little-known progressive activist..." "Little-known" only if you're not paying close attention to City Hall. Wilson has been at or near the center of almost every major policy battle in the city for the last 10 years.

I sure wish the RapidRide G actually adhered to its promised reliance. @seattledot.bsky.social three scheduled busses didn’t show up eastbound at Madison and Boylston. I could’ve driven to my destination faster.

Mayor Bruce Harrell considers it scandalous and hypocritical that Katie Wilson's parents help her pay for child care in Seattle. When he was asked about one of his own kids during his first campaign, he said his parenting choices were no one's business. www.seattleweekly.com/news/a-city-...

Listening to Bruce Harrell on the campaign trail, you'd never know that traffic fatalities in Seattle have actually increased during his term as whole and that last year was the deadliest year on city roads in decades.

With 22 full time employees devoted to graffiti abatement in Bruce Harrell's 2026 budget, that team would officially be twice as large as SDOT's Vision Zero team (11 people).
“One Seattle Graffiti Plan” - Citywide initiative for graffiti removal, including targeted enforcement
and assistance for impacted businesses, support for public art and volunteer clean-up efforts.
• The 2026 Proposed Budget adds $2.1 million and 6 FTE, bringing the total Citywide expenditures
for graffiti abetment to $6.1 million and 22 FTE.
• Proposed budget also includes transfer of existing staff and funding from SPU to SPR. Details will
be further discussed in the upcoming Seattle Parks and Recreation presentation.

Bruce Harrell likes to bluster about standing up to Trump But behind the scenes, SPD is collaborating with ICE, and Harrell’s trying to hide it until after the election ICE wants data? No prob, that will take 4 days Journalist question about data sent to ICE? Sorry, best we can do is 4 months

Question about Harrell hiring Adrian Diaz and allegations that he runs a "boys' club." He says no mayor in history has had to terminate a police chief but him and that he didn't hire Diaz, he was "handed to" him. In fact, Harrell encouraged Diaz to apply and hired him.

The ICE recruitment ad that’s running non stop during NFL games is really disgusting. I’d say the networks should be ashamed of themselves but we know they have no shame.

My understanding is that many of these countries have government owned public construction corporations, so knowledge stays in-house, bids aren't inflated, and there's no corner cutting in the rush to the bottom. Once upon a time we the Army Corp of Engineers (weird that it was military of sorts).

Can someone explain to me why she'll face off against Harrell at all, didn't he lose the primary? Or is it that the top two (regardless of party) advance? I don't get our primary system at all.

We need quieter sirens and dimmer lights on Seattle’s new emergency vehicles. So ear-splittingly loud as a pedestrian that my watch warns about it, and so blindingly bright I see spots for minutes afterwards. It’s out of hand.

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

The thing about bicycle weekends on Lake Washington Boulevard is that they are a beloved institution that has near unanimous support, but instead of investing real money to make them safe and activated, Bruce Harrell has instead spent all of the money on outreach to appease ~8 highway advocates.

I agree. Anywhere these exist there should actually just be a stop sign, and stopping for those signs should be enforced rigorously.
