@westseattleblog Excellent thank you

@billschrier On my way back from covering them!

⁦@westseattleblog⁩ happening right now at 3:30 PM, demonstrations at the corner of SW. Admiral Way and California Ave., Southwest

.@Lance_Valcour @Pascal1Rodier It's been "cold" in Seattle. 0 degrees C. I've pretty much abandoned Twitter for Bluesky, but had to share this tidbit I got from a buddy in Ontario (lower Ontario, mind you).

@GregGerardo I searched for comparison maps of Seattle and the Palisades fire and found it on laist.com

@billschrier @westseattleblog @LAist Such a tragedy, I used to live and work in that area, know a few folks who lost their homes… Unrelated can you tell me where you found that particular Seattle area map?

@seattleperson Yes, comparisons are tricky. But a large portion of West Seattle, except the Junction, is single family homes. BBC reports 5,000 structures burned in Palisades alone.

@WillJeakle So sorry to hear this Will. Hope everyone is safe and can stay safe.

@billschrier @LAist @westseattleblog My college roommate lost his house. My two kids evacuated to Santa Barbara and El Segundo (from North Hollywood and Glendale). Air still bad. A sense of shock over an always optimistic town.

@TJPublicSafety @LAist @westseattleblog ☹️😢

@billschrier @LAist @westseattleblog Wow - that is scary

@ThomasLRandall @FirstNetGov @TxDPS You all are not flying over New Jersey by chance, are you?

@KromanDavid Maybe our system of bureaucracy and government programs needs to be blown up. I’m saying that as a moderate Democrat. It’s underscored when I see the Seattle city Council not talking about efficiency in city government but rather “revenue enhancement“.

When Trump won in 2016, there was a massive, Ed Murray-led cry-fest inside City Hall. Probably hundreds of people. I’m still on leave (till December) but seeing no signs of anything like that. Kinda interesting.

@jontalton Don’t let the trolls get to you Jon. Continue the good work.

Trump has promised to imprison “enemies,” including political opponents and journalists. 2.

@RayLehr Agreed. I think I’ll go to Blue Sky.

@mrandystevens @louie_tran Frostys

@louie_tran Recently had Wendy’s for the first time in a while (last weekend). I have no idea how they remain in business.

Wendy's plans to close 140 U.S. restaurants before the end of this year on top of the 100 it said it would close in May. cbsnews.com/news/wendys-st…

@AlaskaAir Biscoff

Great snack debate: Biscoff cookie or pretzels?

@sdthomsen "I love a parade"

@MarcoLowe Thanks for the tip Marco. Need something to watch with the grandkiddos!

Annual reminder to watch "Wendell and Wild" on Netflix for one of the great Halloween movies of recent years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendell_%…

Another reason to be proud to live in Seattle.

@RayLehr Wow. Not fake news Ray?

The atmospheric river has produced a phenomenal rainbow over a shining city today. ⁦@westseattleblog⁩
