There is a lot to love in this plan, especially the expanded service and new lines. But this here gap at the border of Seattle and LFP/Shoreline is going to cause problems.
Our city council adopted a resolution condemning the deaths ICE has caused, and it’s shameful that the list needs updating. ICE’s actions are bad for, among other things, local police and anything resembling community policing. mccmeetingspublic.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/lkfrstpkwa-m...
My undergrad bio department keeps devaluing itself. I knew I’d find this association if I went looking.
I charted city property tax revenue in real dollars vs the Seattle-area inflation rate for my little city. Everything is bad but post-COVID inflation (including tariffs, trade wars, wars, labor, etc.) is just killing cities. Road construction costs are up like 70% year over year.
It wasn’t officially presented to the President for almost a week after it passed, so the 10 day clock is still running.

Comments are closed so I will just say that punk and CBGB and Andy Warhol and pretty much every great art scene you can imagine existed because there were cheap shit apartments one could afford on half a crappy job and spend the rest of the time making things people bought were trash but weren’t.
There are a lot of reasons to hate the rise of the automated plagiarism image generators, but the fact that people can’t look at the world’s actual wonder and glory (gathered at significant cost and difficulty) without wondering if it’s just slop certainly is high on the list.
Are you saying that there is no meaningful difference now (left) vs Jun 30, 2025 2:55pm (right)?
There is no comparison between someone who fled Texas to avoid being jailed or denied lifesaving care, vs a conservative radio host and former state GOP chair who wants to live in Texas and moved there. But also if we are welcoming and affirming of trans refugees, we should think about this:
Do you think this would? It’s an example from a filing in the actual lawsuit.
