– It’s hot again and I am working from my un-air conditioned apartment.
– Division Street in Spokane could be a lot better.
Coming home from Drinking Liberally, the bus (49 South) was as crowded as I’ve ever seen it at 10:00. Are people taking the bus while I-5 lanes are closed? If so, welcome and I hope you stay after it opens up.
– Anyway, your legislators and member of Congress go uncontacted. Tragic, but you can fix it.
Ballots have dropped in Washington state. Have questions? Bring them to tonight’s edition of the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally. We may not have the answers (because…you know, enigmas never age), but we’ll have fun discussing the options.
We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us out on the back patio. We start at 8:00pm.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.
Your ballot is arriving soon if it hasn’t already. Here are some voter guides. It’s more Seattle/ Western Washington centric than maybe it could be.
– Fuse has a progressive voter guide.
– The Stranger and the Urbanist both have endorsements.
– Seattle Bike Blog has many transportation and safe streets endorsements.

Hey, it’s under 80 degrees for a few days anyway.
– I don’t know if the US Attorney stepping down is related to the ICE related arrests but the timing is a lot.
– Good news if you feel like you need to protect dogs or kids in hot cars.
– After months in ICE detention, I can’t blame Alfredo Juarez Zeferino for accepting deportation, but dang.
– Ballots dropped this week. Get them postmarked or dropped off by August 5.
Man it’s going to be hot as fuck today. I am going to insist that you get yourself a big glass of water right now. Don’t wait. Throw some ice in. It already feels gross and it’s only getting worse.
It’s Tuesday! And that gives you a darned good excuse to go out, because the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will get together to talk politics and drink beer. Won’t you join us?

– Racing the 8 for hopefully better service in the future.
– We’re going to have to do more to save the orcas at a time when the Federal government is doing less.
Going to have to decide who to vote for for King County Executive soon. I recommend the Hacks and Wonks interviews if you haven’t heard them yet.

– Going to be a hot stretch. Stay cool if you can, everyone.
– The Old Growth Table seems charming.
– Hey another shit initiative from the Washington State Republicans.
– Call or email your legislator or member of Congress today.
– 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.

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.

– 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.
