yes, it does!

Prominent Bellevue businessman Miller Freeman founded Washington's Anti-Japanese League in 1916, championed Washington's Alien Land Laws that prohibited Japanese from owning land, and was a strong voice for removing Japanese Americans from the West Coast during WWII.
Freeman, with other local leaders including Nifty Garrett and Art Ritchie, also opposed Japanese American resettlement in the Puget Sound region after the war, agitating the community through racist groups like the Japanese Exclusion League and Remember Pearl Harbor League. The Freeman family remains a powerful force in Bellevue.

Tell me where it looks like bike infrastructure should go, for a project with goals of connectivity & safety. The place where bikes already are? Or a steep side street that doesn't connect to where people are trying to go. www.theurbanist.org/2024/10/24/b...
