Leah Sottile@leahsottile.bsky.social · 2d agoI've been asking reporters in Spokane how we can help and everyone says subscribe, subscribe, subscribe. The Spokesman-Review has been doing unreal coverage of the fires: www.spokesman.com

Alexandra (Alex) Duggan@alexdugganreports.bsky.social · 2d agoI was on the scene that day and watched people flag police down to talk to someone walking away from the fire. My law enforcement sources confirmed to me this evening my description of the person I saw was consistent with the suspect. Here’s the story so far: www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...
The devastation is unimaginable. I moved here 3 years ago knowing Spokane would be my home. I can’t explain how horrific this is. “It’s like a war zone,” people told me.
When ppl were furious with Jenny Durkan it was for reasons like "she called a curfew that started 10 minutes ago then had the police department teargas immediately an entire neighborhood of thousands of ppl." Not the same, not even remotely covered the same by legacy media. Smarten up!
This is a good summary of the status of the complex of three fires now being called the “Spokane Area Fires.” – About 8,000 acres and more than 600 structures burned – Autumn Lane (the most rural of the three fires, burning between Spokane and Deer Park) seems to be the most active this morning.
Alexandra (Alex) Duggan@alexdugganreports.bsky.social · 3d agoMore than 600 (likely homes) burned in and around Spokane County yesterday. The devastation is incomprehensible www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...
Yeah, don’t let the hatch close on you on your way down, fucker.

For every petition like this, I believe Bicycle Weekends should extend an additional weekend into September and then October.

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.
Holy hell Katie Wilson is on fire here.

A) People who don't or cannot drive value their time. It is wasted by drivers creating traffic jams & opposing improvements to car alternatives, & cut short by drivers killing them. B) I have explored many places without a car. You don't need to explore everywhere & it's often better if you don't.

People forget, but Occupy Seattle helped create a lot of awareness about predatory banking, spurring many Seattleites to transfer their banking to credit unions.
Seattle residents keep jumping to credit unions
Nielsen data shows a record 35% of Seattle households use a credit union as their primary bank, a sustained exodus sparked by 2011 megabank fees, writes FYI Guy.
