Why would you go from 4 violence prevention orgs to 19?? That sounds obviously less effective. southseattleemerald.org/amp/story/ne...

So frustrating to see UFCW using awful environmental laws to block an affordable, majority employee owned grocery store from moving into a vacant building in an area that really, really could use it. www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/co...

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS VOTE EXCLUSIVELY THE STRANGER BALLOT. Vote for Clark over Smith for School Board. Clark has stuck her neck out over and over again publicly in a way that has over and over changed SPS policy. She knows the issues, has an excellent head start, and is a former SPS student.

Big news: Seattle school board member Sarah Clark comes out against a dumb district proposal to split HS lunches. Students are headed to district offices right now to protest. Clark was also the first board member to oppose last year’s closure plan. I’m strongly supporting her reelection!

Once again this week the Seattle Times gets a school board endorsement right, backing @joemiz.bsky.social, just days after they also correctly endorsed Sarah Clark (@sarahforschools.bsky.social). If only they'd also gotten the other seat right and endorsed @viviansong.bsky.social. But you can!

Here's who The Seattle Times editorial board recommends for Seattle School Board, District 4 | Editorial
A longtime labor organizer with a law degree, Mizrahi has the smarts, experience and tough-minded focus that Seattle families need to steward their schools.

I don’t always write letters to the editor. But when I do, it’s because Liza Rankin has done immense damage to our public schools. We need change. That’s why I’m backing @sarahforschools.bsky.social @joemiz.bsky.social and @viviansong.bsky.social for school board!

How did the Seattle School Board lose its way?
Come election time, voters should ask Seattle School Board candidates some hard questions about the dubious "Student Outcomes Focused Governance."

SO sad about neighborhood stores, and I don’t understand why the amendment to notify parents of sexual assault accusations didn’t go on the HB 1296 aside from both of these being GOP in origin. Can D’s either find a way to take credit or just let them have these? These should be easy wins.

Today, many Washington cities and towns prohibit cafes and small grocers from operating on blocks zoned exclusively for homes. A bill has bipartisan support.

Peggi Fu, SPS parent, including North Beach. Reject plans for creating mega elementary schools in BEX Levy. Can't do this more. Didn't proactively plan for big schools, no transparency in BEX V. Select right location, redraw boundaries. Engaged with NB 5 years ago would have embraced it. 🔥
