This is so totally unacceptable. We have got to stop catering to NIMBYs. Seattle Children's should be able to take as many helicopters as it needs to, in order to save lives.

Ok I knew something had changed, as the light rail is great but transit seemed to be worsening at the same time, but did not realize it was this drastic! Bus service is an equally important component to our transit system!

I’m so sad to hear this - another signal that the Seattle city council does not understand its constituents.

Ppl who use trees as an excuse to stop housing were for amendments 93 & 102. They were against any pro housing or reduced parking amendments (green circles). Don’t fall for their lies - they’re NIMBYs pure & simple. Tell council to oppose amendment 102: actionnetwork.org/letters/amen...

Amendment 102 will not protect the urban canopy – and in fact may do the opposite
Seattle needs more affordable housing AND trees. Help us convince the Seattle City Council to do both by opposing Amendment 102, which makes new housing much more expensive and worsens existing inequi...

This is, like, *the* issue. People are *going* to move here. Unless Cascadia secedes--unlikely!--we are part of internal freedom of movement in the US. Right now, people with money win and people without (A LOT OF) money lose. Katie wants to fix this, Bruce doesn't. It's that easy.

“councilmembers elected by geographic wards or districts are often afforded special deference. In Chicago, this is called “aldermanic privilege” and has repeatedly come under fire for creating small fiefdoms, inviting cronyism, and making it harder to implement citywide programs.” - I’m concerned!

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

At a press conference at City Hall this morning, the Working Families Party and PROTEC17—the largest union of City of Seattle workers—endorsed Katie Wilson for mayor. The city union's endorsement is especially monumental because for most of these workers, incumbent Bruce Harrell is their boss.

there is 1 (out of 9) renter on council in a city where over 55% of residents are renters. the mayor's comp plan and council have no desire to create a comp plan that doesn't prioritize homeowners. in any other country they'd be out of office so quickly.

I still think this is one of the most gutting notes I’ve ever read.
Notecard by a homeless person expressing what object was most devastating to lose: Dentures were thrown away and coping isn’t something I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

i honestly have never seen a political leader so thoroughly destroy their credibility so quickly and, on the other side, it is abundantly clear that if anyone can claim a genuine leadership of large parts of the democratic party, it is AOC.
