– I didn’t like the results of the Seattle City Council elections. So, sure, a moderate was going to fill the vacant seat. You have to respect what people voted for in November. Wait!

The police officer who killed Jaahnavi Kandula was rejected by the Tucson police department. I don’t know, guys. Seems like maybe not the ideal situation. Without knowing why I am a bit worried about saying they should not have accepted him. But it seems like a red flag.
Anyway, please wash your hands. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Gosh. I do not like the work in the transit tunnel. It’s not normally a part of my commute and already I have just stood in the tunnel waiting too long, or I took the shuttle. It’s also just dusty and gross.
Maintenance is necessary and it’s going to be inconvenient. Still, so are complaints. At least it will be done in a few weeks.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
– Yuck. Stay safe if you’re driving in Western Washington and don’t drive if you don’t have to.
– After the Crosscut articles about Downtown revitalization, they’re moving. First Hill is great, and still the urban core. I know.
– I don’t watch Fargo, but I am glad/horrified that it’s relevant.
– Losers for City Council, I guess.

– Stay warm everyone. Put on gloves before you think you’ll need them. Put on an extra layer. Stay safe.
– High County News has a union.
– Split them lots.
– Not particularly optimistic about better bike infrastructure in Seattle.
– Guys, you don’t have to put advertising on everything.
– Boeimg’s success is still so tied up with the success of the Northwest, that it’s heartbreaking to see how bad the product is. Maybe they should have spent less time breaking the unions and more time focused on quality?

It’s the first day of the Washington legislative session. I would advise you to see what bills a lobbying group whose goals you support is pushing, or a general organization like Fuse. And find a bill or two and write your legislators about it.
Many organizations will also have lobby days or other ways to get involved. These are a hoot for citizen groups, and I would encourage you to sign up if you can.
And please, wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
