@seabikeblog "Seattle-operated trails do not have a mph-based speed limit" What? 15 mph was passed Dec 12, 2019 after the 7 trail pilot project parkways.seattle.gov/2019/08/27/mov… "For the Pilot, SPR set a 15-mph speed limit for all users, consistent with King County,"

People riding e-bikes and scooters on King County trails are no longer unknowingly breaking the rules seattlebikeblog.com/2024/06/12/peo… #Seattle #SEAbikes

@MultimodalAlex @kirawontmiss cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/p… bacterial (and until recently, tuberculosis vaccines too)

@ACKCurrent Sadly, not the first time this fountain created for horses to drink from has been hit by a motor vehicle. Major restoration project after 2020 crash. nantucketpreservation.org/main-street-fo…

WATCH: The Main Street fountain, a landmark of downtown Nantucket, was destroyed Sunday night by a pickup truck

@pushtheneedle Maybe not the best comparison, because the tax didn't increase the reduction that was otherwise occurring. sph.washington.edu/news-events/sp…

seattle: "a tax on soda will decrease the consumption of soda" (a proven success) also seattle: "a tax on housing will increase the consumption of housing" (did not succeed)

@one_bio_data @CalebHeeringa @eyesonthestorm That list is incomplete. There's 3 more Residential Urban Villages in West Seattle alone (including Admiral that lacks frequent transit, still). seattle.gov/documents/depa…

@CalebHeeringa @eyesonthestorm How are they a failure if most all of these neighborhoods are doing quite well nowadays? The only one I can think that is not, is North Rainer. The city has neglected that area and business owners got murdered, businesses went up in flames, pedestrians killed, etc.

Seattle’s urban villages were a generational mistake. Worsened homelessness, climate pollution and displacement of legacy small businesses by focusing development pressure in a few locations. @eyesonthestorm deftly breaks down how it happened and why it could happen again.

@meanie @pushtheneedle Resolutions mean nothing. Heck, even the text of bills that get passed doesn't mean much if nobody makes a stink about shortcomings. This is in the Levy to Move Seattle.

@pushtheneedle The publicly subsidized port of Seattle gets right off first refusal against residents again. Another amazing and predictable victory

seattle city council is planning to vote on a resolution that would give the unelected freight advisory board approval oversight of all pedestrian improvements & has codified language that all arterials must maintain thru-traffic tell these members to vote NO on Resolution 32097

@meanie @seattledot @the_riding_cat Just saying that the photos were taken between 9AM-3PM also would have provided an educational opportunity re: bus lanes with time restrictions.

@seattledot @the_riding_cat Hilarious self own, your efforts are half ass and show no improvements, why should the public care if your org clearly doesn't. This is the speed bump video all over again You all need to find new jobs

Before👉After These are Transit Spot Improvements. We updated signs and markings along 4th from Jefferson to Pine, while adding updated bus zones and no stop curb paint from Jefferson St to Lenora St. Thanks to the Traffic and Signal Shops, as well as Signs & Markings crews!

@Gifted_Program @hannahkrieg The council doesn't turn over all that much though. This year may be a high mark in turnover with only 3 of 7 seeking reelection, but incumbents rarely lose reelection in Seattle.

Seattle City Council is considering a charter amendment that would stagger City Council elections. If the council passes it, voters would have to approve it in the November 2024 election. What do you think? Cool or?

@MultimodalAlex If you use a 4th power law based on the AASHO Road Test (evaluated single axle truck loads of 2,000 - 30,000 lbs) and apply that law outside that range, maybe. It's poor science literacy to make that extrapolation.

@deuceohsixx @FredMeyerStores It's not a separate tax on the consumer though, it's a tax at the distributor level on the product that is only being itemized/shown to consumers on receipts because the stores choose that. I shifted my grocery trips a few miles to outside Seattle.

.@FredMeyerStores in Ballard, Seattle wants to charge me Seattle’s Soda Tax for EBT food stamp purchases. Is against federal law to charge any tax on food benefits.

@MikeLindblom @KromanDavid @seattletimes Do you know why public transportation drivers were specifically exempted from documented incidents of box blocking being counted against their record? Do tickets even get written/forwarded for instructional purposes?

Did you know the city of Seattle has sent 186k automated-camera tickets for driving in bus lanes? The story from @KromanDavid: seattletimes.com/seattle-news/t… via @seattletimes Did you

@PoulChapman @SeattleCouncil When doing a walk-through the manager said carpets looking in good condition without being cleaned yet. My lease terms hinted prior tenant likely paid for a cleaning that manager wouldn't do. _Five_ years later deposit dinged for new range drip pans when use had stained them.

@evergreenstone How does your article's statistic handle years there they make different endorsements for primaries and the general election? "In the last ten years, only one candidate has managed to win a general election in Seattle without the endorsement of either"

In Seattle primaries, there are two endorsements that basically make or break your campaign. In the last decade only one candidate has won without either. I stayed up late with one candidate as she waited to see if she got one of them knkx.org/politics/2023-…

@ericacbarnett The constant mentioning of bagels makes me question if the Brown Campaign it mimicking how Mike the Mover used his political campaigns as a boost to his moving business. npr.org/2023/06/14/118…

@meanie @rianwatt They only cane male criminals in fit health. It's even mandatory for visa overstays. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_in…

@ForgotUrHelmet @rianwatt only if we cane people as punishment

@meanie @rianwatt We could do like Singapore and impose a 60% tax on home purchases by foreigners. reuters.com/markets/asia/s…

@rianwatt its much easier to blame an outside enemy than look internally. no one is opposed to a vacancy tax, they are a tiny percentage, and very easy to avoid.

@kittypurrzog The bitter costco employees in the costco subreddit suggesting praise to members that brought their carts all the way back to the front of the store (even beyond the cart returns in the lot) would love this.

@meanie @seattletimes I think some of the blame lies in the warehouse entrance membership check being "flash a Costco card upon entry" and not scrutinizing the cardholder match there. Having a member gift non-members Costco Cash Cards is the real hack.

@seattletimes Blaming customers for shitty self checkout is a wild take but sure you go king.

Costco is taking a sterner stance against shoppers using membership cards that do not belong to them. st.news/46lv6Z9

@Cobylefko "10,000-seat" stadium sketches vs 60,000 seats though

Architects & Planners, take note: this design for a new soccer stadium in Albania is how to properly create an urban sports complex, as a part of a neighborhood, not in a sea of parking
