Preview of the SPD staffing presentation being given by Central Staff on Tuesday. Look at how much that overtime budget has gone up just between 2022 and 2025. The presentation says much of that increase is because of the new SPOG contracts with the HUGE raises.

Chart titled SPD Overtime Monitoring: Overtime Spending Since 2022

Lots of numbers so I'll just give the years and the annual original OT budget:
2022 - $26,359,544
2023 - $31,267,261
2024 - $37,712,090
2025 - $53,100,000
2026 - $55,800,000

I spent the afternoon with some sea lions.

Ocean, beach, many sea lions, including two males tussling in the surf

So many sea lions on the beach. There are also bushes.

Help shape Seattle’s response to federal threats.

Federal policies threaten immigrant communities, LGBTQ+ rights, worker protections, and more. Seattle can protect our communities—but we need to be proactive.

Your input will inform Mayor Katie Wilson’s administration as they plan for our city’s future!

I am devastated to share that my sweet little dog Nala died in my arms yesterday. She was almost 18 years old. She was my family and my best friend, and I feel very grateful that we got to spend so much time together.
