Many folks say cars are to blame for the needless deaths and injuries of cyclists and pedestrians. But the Seattle Times has the boldness to ask: What were the victims wearing?
How, by chance, did the Freemans acquire this property? Why, by agitating for the internment of Japanese Americans, then buying it from those same Japanese Americans under duress as they were shipped off to concentration camps.
The Seattle Times@seattletimes.com · 2w agoThe history of The Bellevue Collection dates back nearly 80 years, with the Freeman family’s first property, Bellevue Square. Read here to learn about the milestones along the way.
Daylight Savings Time, the tool of the bourgeoisie, was created because stealing the leisure time of the collective proletariat was preferable to paying for a single extra hour of electric lighting.
Robert Cruickshank@robertcruickshank.com · 2w agoWe have to stop the "permanent standard time" people. They want to take away our late summer evenings and replace them with broad daylight at 4:30 in the morning. If people don't want permanent DST, let's just keep the status quo. Better a brief inconvenience than the disaster of permanent standard.
The County annual budget is $20b. This is less than 0.1% of that. Those of us at DNRP have about 50 hotel workstations for 2,500 employees. No RTO budget means County staff sitting at tables instead of desks, fighting for power outlets.
Ryan Packer@typewriteralley.bsky.social · 2w agoOnce again King County employees are providing testimony at the county council this morning, pushing back on a plan to spend an additional $18.7 million on office upgrades to support the 3-day return-to-office mandate. According to a council report, this is expected to add 345 "work points."
It's long past time for us to crack down on metal recyclers. They know exactly what they're buying.
I. Hernandez@hernando206.bsky.social · 2w agoCopper wire stripping of streetlighting is a public safety problem. It creates safety hazards for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, especially during this time of year. A crackdown is long overdue. The people doing this and the businesses buying stolen wire should be punished.

Kettle says the mayor has no plan to fight the things that crawl and creep. Why would she! Why would she fight her own, while they lie in ambush? Why would she oppose those that enforce her will? There are things more foul than spiders that in the darkness lie. What is that on your hand, Bob?

I gladly voted no on IL26-001 and IL26-638. But I'm pissed some rich right wing perv was actually able to force this bullshit onto my ballot.
It is odd to see how many people are realizing they are neurodivergent at the same time there is an explosion in digital processes which drain executive function: Slack messages; 2FA requests; marketing, promotion, and AI-written emails; as well as online forms for medical care and job applications.
Fun fact about Jēññīſêr Gōðſrëy: After I wrote a skeet making fun of her Seattle Times article, **she wrote to my work email address** with a copy of the skeet. I never said who my employer is on BSky.
Ryan Packer@typewriteralley.bsky.social · last mo.An update from OPCD to the Seattle planning commission last week confirms that the pending Centers & Corridors zoning update is likely to remain on hold for a full year as the city conducts more analysis, in the wake of a state hearings board ruling. www.theurbanist.org/seattles-cen...
You don't get much more conservative than a business owner in Little Saigon. And these are the people right-wing influencers are chewing up and spitting out?
Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · last mo.Racist far-right influencers like Brandi Kruse know they're lying. They don't care about the consequences their lies have on real people, because they're sociopaths. Human beings are just NPCs to them. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Come on, Kirkland. You know what you must do. Give us the Kirkland Signature District.
Ryan Packer@typewriteralley.bsky.social · last mo.Next week the City of Kirkland is poised to advance a rebrand for the neighborhood around its forthcoming inline BRT station at I-405 and NE 85th St, as "the Rise District." Also in contention: the Forge District and the Union District.
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.
Robert Cruickshank@robertcruickshank.com · last mo.Sure looks to me like Bob Kettle knew for a year and a half that SPD had massively expanded its surveillance capabilities without a public vote and…just sat on that knowledge without doing anything about it. A massive scandal. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
The Needling should offer a correction as this is actually the **second** light rail station to service Jackson Park Golf Course.

@cmeddielin.seattle.gov has the heart of a shitposter (laudatory)
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".
The Seattle Times@seattletimes.com · 2mo agoPioneer Square’s historic but troubled “Sinking Ship” parking garage — once deemed the country’s “coolest” place to park — has partially reopened.
The only thing they fear more than a DSA government is a *competent* DSA government.
Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ@padresj.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt's strange how Democratic Socialists - who are being denounced by both parties - turned major deficits into balanced budgets in both New York and Seattle.
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.
The Seattle Times@seattletimes.com · 2mo agoWorld Cup is long gone, but Ninth Avenue between Pike and Pine streets remains closed due to stubborn paint.

David Seater 🚶♂️🚴🏻♂️🏳️🌈@davidseater.com · 2mo agoHot take: If @flysea.bsky.social wants to run a golf cart along the only pedestrian connection to the light rail they should just drive it at walking speed instead of taking half the space and honking at people.
