Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 7/9/25, 8:23 am

– Bothell, that lack of parking minimums looks good on you.

– I was crossing 2nd Avenue on foot where there’s a protected bike lane. There were no cars but the signal was giving them the right of way. I was jay walking and the bike was crossing the red. Who has priority in that situation?

– New hate crimes hotline is up and running.

– What cruelty we treat our immigrants with.

Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 7/7/25, 8:04 am

Since there wasn’t a post on Friday, this is a bit stale. King County Assessor John Arthur Wilson has got to go. Like, obviously don’t vote for him for Executive but also, he has to go. No fucking stalkers. Like I hope he gets help, but not while he has a position of public trust.

Wednesday Open Thread

– Seattle has some pretty good projects, the street cars, the light rail, bike lanes on the waterfront. But they all need to do a better job connecting so that it’s a proper network.

– Glad Nick Brown is on it, but man the Department of Homeland Security under the Trump Administration just taking health data is so awful.

– Spokane banning ICE warrantless on government property seems like so little in the face of what ICE is doing and also a good step.

– Mid 70’s today and through the long weekend, Seattle has lucked out.

– Hey, hey. Write or call your legislator or member of Congress.
