I took the Kitsap fast ferry to Kingston because today is the last Saturday service of the year.
West Seattle: the Spokane St Swing Bridge (Low Bridge) is closed to drivers this weekend, 7 AM Saturday, September 26 to 4 AM Monday, September 28. We are replacing the eastern barrier gate. The bridge remains open for walking and cycling during this closure.

If you pay for a Seattle Times subscription you’re a rube. They’re scamming you
Jason@jrock08.bsky.social · last wk.If I could offer a suggestion to our local rag. Maybe have your editors check if a piece is obviously ai before publishing it.
Ok metro/st kind of botched some of the rollout for the bus changes in August. For example, the 556’s route and map are wrong on transit/google/ST’s own website. You have to open and read an alert to figure out where the bus actually goes. And when you get to the in-service stop, this is the sign

Twenty-three years ago, I found myself next to a hospital bed. My mother was on it and on life support. The doctor entered the room and painted a bleak picture; and I said to him: I know, I know, it’s...

National action alert: Tell Congress Duffy’s attacks on bike lanes will get people killed
Bluesky post by Bike League Policy Director Ken McLeod. Sean Duffy, the corrupt B-list reality TV personality cosplaying as Trump's Transportation Secretary, is trying to put language in the transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict bike lanes on the misleadingly-named "National Highway System." This system includes a lot of regular city streets (map), including streets like Eastlake Ave where a federally-funded project is currently building new protected bike lanes. The system also includes many of Seattle's most dangerous streets, such as Rainier Ave S, Aurora Ave N, Fauntleroy Way SW, 4th Ave S and many more, streets big enough that Federal funding might be needed to help cover the significant cost to repave and rebuild them.

SDOT shouos build the MLK bike lane as part of a corridor safety project. Slower speeds and fewer lanes will make accessing Link stations safer. It will also mean fewer cars hitting our many billions of dollars light rail and causing it shut down for hours at a time.
Qagggy!@qagggy.bsky.social · last mo.The Basic Bike Network was a highly successful advocacy effort by @streetsalliance.bsky.social and @cascade.org. So, what's Phase 2? Where are the gaps? What is the next layer outward? Where is the greatest need? How would you brand it? What is the organizing principle?
Our site will most likely go down soon because of US sanctions on Noblogs. We're working on an alt. Our forms and such though are all cryptpad based so for volunteers and workshop hosts, you will not need to re do anything. if you got a domain rec email us seattlebookfair@riseup.net
One thing about me is I will send a disappointed email if a product or service I use starts running ads for generative AI. I encourage everyone to do the same so that companies adopt the same recognition of social harm as with oil/gas, alcohol, gambling, firearms, etc.
I’ve encountered a lot of salmon art just by playing/following the Seattle game of @biketag.bsky.social
Amy Probably@socklessinseattle.bsky.social · last mo.Okay but yall need to point out more salmon art to me. Pleaseeeeee
I work in the trades and my job takes me around to lots of different locations. At almost every construction site, warehouse or industrial facility, you will find bikes tucked away in the corner.
Cars don't make the Market special at all. Every street has cars. Car streets are a dime a dozen. If there's any theater, mystery, or surprise on Pike Place, it's not from the metal boxes. It's probably the people outside of them.
Qagggy!@qagggy.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe moderator launches into a mini-lecture. Says restricting cars eliminates the “sense of theater, mystery and surprise…the visual and aural stimulation” that makes the market special.
Drivers at it again fucking regional transportation

Ultimately one of the unwritten amendments to the constitution is that is the inalienable right of every American to speed a little bit if they feel like it
Days of navy jets’ loud & polluting flyovers, a park turned into a parking lot, and a bus lane turned into a traffic jam. Seafair is a middle finger to Seattle for the enjoyment of suburbanites
Rainier Valley Safe Streets@rvgreenways.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis should be the last year the bus lane on Rainier gets "opened" for Seafair drivers. This is not an effective way to move people, and it's completely unfair to transit dependent Rainier Valley residents. bsky.app/profile/mesm...
Tomorrow everyone open a window and point a box fan outside. Together we can cancel the blue angels
Matthew Pfab@matthewpfabwx.bsky.social · 2mo agoBlue Angels have been canceled Saturday due to gusty winds. Winds have gusted 25-30 mph around #Seattle, but remember that crosswinds above the surface are higher. #wawx #Seafair
