One of Mayor Wilson's best hires is Aly Pennucci, who is quietly but crucially doing an absolutely amazing job driving a bulldozer through years of calcified budget and process morass. The mayor is down in the weeds on this as well and they are an excellent team.

Sayles also explicitly took responsiblility for the fact that SPD (as I reported) did not put out a word of new information after 6:30, when they posted, only on X, that there was a mass shooting. They did a press conference around 11 and finally put out a press statement early the next morning.

Ahead of Salmon Days Issaquah Mayor Mark Mullet is signing a proclamation changing the name of the city to Fishaquah for the weekend. @ecocityaction.org @socklessinseattle.bsky.social
WHEREAS, salmon have long held a special place in the heart of our community; and
WHEREAS, salmon are such a part of our heritage that they adorn the logo of our city; and
WHEREAS, each fall the salmon return to our creeks and lakes; the first salmon have arrived
this year at the downtown hatchery; and
WHEREAS, salmon have supported countless generations of Indigenous peoples and
residents; and
WHEREAS, their lure has driven schools of visitors to our town to learn more about our
beloved salmon; and
WHEREAS, the popularity of salmon has created an identity for Issaquah which in turn has
tilted the scales of commerce in our favor; and
WHEREAS, this year’s theme, “Stars, Stripes & Salmon” centers on celebrating our
community and our traditions that bring us together, while also recognizing our
nation’s 250th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, Salmon Days has its own infamous mascot, Sammy the Salmon, who is rising to
the Oh!Fishal Oh!casion by welcoming visitors to join us for the festival’s 57th
year on Saturday, October 3rd and Sunday, October 4th.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mark Mullet, Mayor of the City of Issaquah, do hereby declare in honor of
the Issaquah Salmon Days Festival, during the first full weekend of October our salmon friendly city
shall be known as
FISHAQUAH

210 cops x $214,500 (budgeted FTE cost for 1 cop) = $45 million That's equal to the entire budget of some departments. (ex. the municipal court's budget is $48m)

And btw, once you anchor yourself in reality, you can let go of the negative polarization frenzy of AI-centric debates. Instead of "owning" AI overlords by pretending their technology is a scam, focus on concrete fights to take away their power, while taking that power seriously.
