I realized some of you might not be aware it is possible to preorder a plush King County Metro style bus Don't worry I am here to help merch.fixthel8.com/us/all-products/plush-bus
Photo from the website that has a cute plush "eight" bus with eyes and everything, KC Metro stile with green and yellow, lovingly placed on a sidewalk curb in front of an actual 8 bus. It is the most adorable thing you've ever seen and you definitely need to buy one

A year ago, SDOT said painting a bus only lane on Denny Way wasn't possible. Now it has one, so maybe it's time we stop worrying about traffic models. youtu.be/PADsDn-fj6E

We have a lot of things in Seattle that have been in planning for two decades. The Denny bus lanes were not one of them. Before January they were deemed impossible, and were planned and executed in eight months.

Thought the wins for Route 8 were over now that bus lanes are in? Think again! The new westbound bus stop at Denny / Stewart is now open! 50 additional weekly bus trips also start this week thanks to the Seattle Transit Measure! Let's see if it can keep this streak going with a win at Race the 8!

We’re delivering a fast, frequent, and reliable Route 8. Community members have fought for years to make Denny Way better. We thank them. Now, we’ll unlock the capacity of this important street to move more people. Irresistibly good bus service is finally coming to Route 8.

Mayor Wilson managed, in the first year of her term, to do something that has eluded 30 years of previous mayors. I’m 50. The eastbound 8 has been delayed along Denny during rush hour during my entire adult life. Not anymore.
