Come to Pinehurst Station opening this Wednesday & tell us what you want to see at Jackson Park! We can absolutely do better than a fenced off golf course that cuts off access to TWO light rail stations. (If you can't make it, you can always take our online survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...)
Poster of preferred "Jackson" Park uses that you will be able to add dot stickers to vote on!

Possible uses include picnic area, playground, bball court, vball court, trails, spray park, sports field, dog park, skate park, pool, outdoor stage, public restroom, and blank spaces for you to fill out!

The entire city of Seattle and hell, the entire region, could be transformed in the blink of a few years if we even just took a break from overfunding our police. Every single cop we have is 1 less stormwater engineer, 1 less habitat restoration worker, 1 less librarian, 1 less teacher.

SPD budget is ~$600 million per year. Proposed to go up by $68m. SPU’s purchase of the 18-acre Talaris site in Laurelhurst where we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore salmon habitat & build publicly-owned housing was $64m. We can buy 10 Talarises per year with the police budget.

EcoCity Action @ecocityaction.org · 26/09/2026
Your regular reminder that the bloated police budget takes money away from habitat restoration, tree planting, new park construction, stormwater mgmt, new bike lanes, transit, libraries, creation of a transformative green youth corps, schools, sidewalks, rental assistance, EDI and on and on forever

The Cedar River provides about 70% of the total inflow of water into Lake Washington. It helps keep the lake clean, the floating bridges/light rail afloat, & the Ballard Locks operating. In short, Cedar River is doing the most. Come experience its majesty and power and SALMON with us on Oct 11th!

70% of Seattle's water comes from the protected Cedar River Municipal Watershed. Rain falls onto this protected forested land and gets filtered before going into the Cedar River and being diverted to Seattle taps - resulting in some of the cleanest, most delicious water tap water in the country!

In other countries, flagship parks are centrally located in dense areas and/or well-served by transit. There is plenty of shade and landscaping, not just grass. There are public bathrooms galore and they’re part of the fabric of everyday life. Food is readily available without having to leave.

EcoCity Action @ecocityaction.org · 20/09/2026
It’s extremely strange for parks to have absolutely nothing in them except for large lawns, playgrounds, and the occasional picnic table or bench. It’s very odd for flagship parks to be surrounded by sprawling homes and be so difficult to get to.
