Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 50mIdk who else might be interested in this, but if you are a pro density and pro tree person I think it could be "fun" to hold a community meeting. Happy to be the main background organizer on this but would need speakers/presenters. 030
Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 1hThe part of this meeting where I felt like TreePac was most out of touch with the Southend was when they started discussing fundraising. 30k is the number you throw out at Lakewood Seward Park community club not in Columbia City 160

Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 15hUpdate: BluWater Bistro is still very mad at the city for doing basic public upkeep. 150
Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 15hI for one am looking forward to this because one of the talking points during the Columbia City Paid Parking fiasco was that it's unfair that South Seattle has paid parking when West Seattle does not. 0120
Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 17hI really think that TreePac leadership thinks of themselves as not NIMBYs, the problem is that all of the people that support TreePac are clearly NIMBYs. 160
Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 17hI am convinced that the primary difference between NIMBY advocacy and normal advocacy is the adoption of conspiracy as a primary means to explain actions the city takes 0140

Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Honestly congrats to all of the urbanists and safe streets advocates that have complained to the city about drivers parking on sidewalks. This change in policy doesn't happen without that advocacy. 0170

Reposted by JasonCouncilmember Eddie Lin @cmeddielin.seattle.gov · 29/09/2026The Urbanist and Ryan Packer in particular did an amazing job raising awareness of this issue early and often! Without that journalism and efforts from transit advocates, things would likely have turned out differently. Thank you, and this again highlights why local media matters. 09714

Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 28/09/2026FIFI for parking enforcement was incredibly dumb because it was used it as a way to dispatch parking enforcement 24 hours after the report instead of as a mechanism to collect data to identify enforcement and infrastructure failure hotspots. 2230

Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think if you are criticizing the station planning around the soon to open Pinehurst station you probably should also have criticized the Everett Link Extension at some point. 3111
Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 27/09/2026One of the talking points from housing opponents that is hard to respond to is that we need to build service capacity before we build housing. This station is an opportunity, and advocates for housing need to defend building transit capacity while working to put in place formula upzones. 0130
Reposted by JasonRobert Cruickshank @robertcruickshank.com · 27/09/2026I dunno. The article felt more like an op-ed. Sure, Pinehurst is opening without much density around it. But should we build density first and then rail? Ballard did that and got completely screwed by Sound Transit. I think you build what you can when you can. And let's get those upzones moving! 4172

Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Wilson's budget has me thinking about how Mayor Harrell wasted ~500k that CM Morales earmarked to do safety projects on LWB doing outreach, and then got a million+ $ grant from the state for the LWB safety project that had to be returned when he only let SDOT do a quarter of the project. 35910

Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The conservatives on r/SeattleWa seem to be very mad that Wilson's budget is funding more police rather than defunding the police. 1110
Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 22/09/2026With hindsight I stand by my statement in May that SDOT is giving up on doing anything in Pioneer Square. The business owners used their veto to kill daylighting at intersections because despite our lofty goals, safety isn't being put first. 1355
Jason @jrock08.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The simple reality is that if we want to actually address climate change a lot of people are going to have to move to cities and people that live in cities today that care about climate change need to come to terms with that. 1527
