Are robotaxis really "green"? - "They're EVs!"  Sure, but cars can go electric w/o autonomy. - "They'll be shared!"  Doubtful. Shared ridehail has fizzled. - "They'll boost transit!" Ridehail made the same claim. Nope. In fact, AVs could worsen the environment by inducing much more driving.

SPD stopped naming cops who shoot people when the consent decree ended, so we do that now. The cop who shot the woman in Beacon Hill is Jose Jimenez, and we did a deep dive on him. Read all about him:

Cop who shot Beacon Hill woman identified
Officer Jose Jimenez, 34, had only been assigned to the SWAT team for less than a year. He was previously a member of the Community Response Group, SPD’s “problem-oriented policing” unit.

Op-Ed: The $10 Billion Question Sound Transit Has Never Asked
Elevating the next light rail line through Downtown Seattle could save $10 billion, more than enough to close Sound Transit’s systemwide budget hole and get rail to Ballard much sooner. There’s just one problem: The agency has never officially studied the idea. It’s high time.
