The Mariners aren't quite dead but this road trip could kill them. Wrote about that, Dan Wilson and where we go from here. New post up on The View Level. www.theviewlevel.com/p/its-not-da...
Folks often view big, aggressive moves as the most risky. The thing is, not making the big move can cost you everything. New post up on The View Level. www.theviewlevel.com/p/not-making...
Wrote about the Mariners and how they need to cut the loser shit we saw in game one in Miami. New post up on The View Level. www.theviewlevel.com/p/sleepwalki...
It is ~~insane~~ how poppin’ Pioneer Square was this evening. The World Cup is the draw, obviously, but the massive car-free zone is making a big difference.

It's tough to find the words to describe the middling 2026 Mariners—so I wrote a little about that. New post up on The View Level. www.theviewlevel.com/p/it-is-what...
It’s such a bummer that after all these years and all this money, the solution to the Missing Link in Ballard is going to one of the lower quality bike routes Seattle has built in years. (Love the guy standing on the trail taking a phone call.) www.myballard.com/2026/06/08/b...

More work going in on Greenwood Ave—looks like a crosswalk and median dropping soon at 81st. Keep letting it rip, @mayorofseattle.bsky.social.
One of the best things about bus lanes is that they’re also bike lanes
For the Mariners, winning has to be more important than players' feelings, than accolades—than everything. New post up on The View Level. www.theviewlevel.com/p/winning-ha...
This is what the better part of a century of sprawl- and car-based policy looks like.
You’ll be in literally Kansas City and come across pedestrianization better and more creative than anywhere in Seattle. This went for *blocks.*
You can just pedestrianize stuff. They won’t throw you in jail or anything.

How much do I want to walk on sandbars and look for sea glass (A lot.)
Perhaps one of the most scenic stretches of an urban bike ride in all the country
