Bob Kettle knowing about SPD expanding its surveillance activities outside legal bounds and doing nothing about it raises fresh questions about what Katie Wilson knew after the Bite of Seattle shooting.

The Needling should offer a correction as this is actually the **second** light rail station to service Jackson Park Golf Course.

Say what you will about Pervert Glasses™, at least you know you're being recorded by Pervert Glasses™ when the pervert is looking right at you. Now the camera for Pervert Glasses™ is located on a charm that could be held and pointed in a much more subtle manner. This is actually worse.

I'm trying to think of what kind of systemic failures had to happen in the newsroom that led to someone describing a goddamned parking garage as "cool".

Seattle Public Schools further added that the 15 minute lunch break they generously provide elementary school students should be sufficient for a small child to theoretically eat **some** of the pizza.

This historic paint job is a wonderful relic from the time Seattle hosted a few World Cup games. That's why we need to nominate these paintings for historic preservation. I'm also starting the 9th and Pine Preservation Alliance and demanding SDOT defer to us for any proposed work.

6PPD kills far more fish than the light rail over Lake Washington ever could. This problem with the bridge will be solved. Will we put in the same effort to reduce the damage due to 6PPD? Of course not.

Somewhere, in the Seattle metro area, there is a Taco Time with a bucket full of hot sauces in the dining area. You can take as many as you want. If you're pure enough of heart, one day you might find it.

Bellevue should eminent domain the site, pay the Freeman family pennies on the dollar, then turn it over to the descendents of the Japanese families Miller Freeman stole it from.

okay fine if we’re doing speed camera discourse, here’s my take as a Brit/american: the British system of almost entirely fixed location cameras at high risk points is much better at improving safety and less discriminatory than cops with radar guns looking for Black folk to pull over

The town of Carnation, originally named Tolt, was renamed after the Carnation Evaporated Milk Company of Kent WA moved their dairy operations there. They exerted so much control they renamed the goddamned town.

If they crave the "aural stimulation" so much, why don't they start allowing cars **inside** Pike Place Market?

CM Rivera has nothing but good things to say about SPD. It's probably because neighborhoods in her district use security companies that hire off-duty SPD officers

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who collect massive paychecks doing fuck all; and the mayor, who just wants the police to do their fucking job. These are their stories.

First you means test, making sure it's only the poor who receive benefits. Then you say we can't afford the benefit, because it might require shifting the budget from your real priorities. Finally you cut benefits, because the poor don't have the time and money to protest.

Man, what do we do in WA-9? Smith is too conservative a Dem, Choudhry isn't ready for prime time, and Sawant is... Sawant. Almost feel like voting for Choudry and waiting to either be pleasantly surprised or voting someone else in 2 years.
