Sitting on Beacon Ave in North Beacon enjoying a drink and still trying to understand how the bike lanes are “like Fentanyl” and not understanding.

If you are not familiar with this man: he likes to give out fresh juice he makes all the time, he volunteers to teach children to cook, he's the kind of guy that makes you feel better about your neighborhood. Get a whistle. Get loud. Get organized. Thwart these kidnappers at every turn.

I got to talk to one of Allie's friends, who confirmed they used they/them pronouns. Allie was described as a strong human being with an incredibly distinctive personality and a great sense of humor.

The crowd here at the vigil did comply with SPD's request to get out of the road by 10pm. The SPD supervisor who came out to talk with the crowd did say that someone approached them with potential camera footage from overnight specifically because they saw tonight's vigil.

I visited Beacon Ave S and S Stevens Street this morning to understand why a street that was just rebuilt by SDOT can still have a tragedy occur.
Crossing eastbound looking south showing that people crossing cannot see northbound drivers until they start to cross.photo showing crossing eastbound looking north showing bad sight lines to southbound traffic and a right turn conflict where a driver turning right will be looking at the southbound traffic not at the crosswalk.Crossing westbound looking north shows generally ok sightlines, but at times with heavy northbound traffic, the northbound traffic would impede seeing oncoming southbound traffic.Crossing westbound looking south shows generally quite good sight lines, but shows that drivers turning do create a right turn conflict where drivers will be looking for a gap in traffic, not at the crosswalk.

couldn't agree more. there's nowhere in Seattle RRFBs are good replacement for a 4-way stop. I especially dislike them where greenway routes cross arterials. Drivers do not yield unless you aggressively step or roll into the road even with lights activated. and sometimes, they don't even stop.

Lime/Bird (bike & scooter share) are really great for connecting to things like Link Light Rail quickly but the cost just seems too high for daily use.

Why do the newer Link trains say "Lynnwood City Center" like it's confused about where it's going. Almost worse than the older trains saying "This is the One Line!" like it learned something new

A glamorous day to 🚲! the afternoon heat was modest and the views were gorgeous. It's also interesting to see the changes to the iconic PacMed building, in a way it all works together even if different than before. #SEABikes #SafeStreets #Commute
Traveling up the bike lane of the Jose Rizal Bridge you can see blue sky and the PacMed building on the left side with new apartments that while tall are shorter than the iconic building and have a blended color.A shot of the Chief Stealth Trail surrounded by tall grass, bushes, and trees. Overhead high voltage power lines cut through the sky with Mt Rainier sitting in the backdrop of the blue sky.
