If I trusted Seattle Police to act well, the South Precinct memo described here would be pretty benign. Your partner is speeding “hey slow down, man” is probably a better response than making a formal complaint.*
But many people don’t trust the police. I don’t know if they’re just doing it for minor things or if things that need to be corrected are being handled internally or at all. A department where no offers could take down rapist Donald Trump’s flag or gravestone of people who offers shot probably won’t be able to correct bad behavior.
* I have never been a cop or OPA. So who am I?

But good news! You can get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Man, remember to get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by Tuesday.
Family stuff ahead, so who knows if I post even less frequently, more erratically. Annnyway.
I love taking the bus. Last night coming home from Drinking Liberally, it was the best! A group of 50 something women having a night on the town got on and were aggressively trying to flirt with the bus driver. “Oh he’s my favorite driver, he can take me anywhere.” Delightful.
Also, and this was 10:30, some teens hop on. Too much time in the summer, but good for them finding things to do. Being able to hang out. Taking the free for them bus Downtown.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Finally some dang rain. It was drizzling in Downtown Seattle earlier today when I was walking to work. It’s been more than a month, so good. I hope we can stay cool and that some of the plants can get a drink. Ideally Seattle summer would have one good rainy day a week.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Oh goodness. Traffic is going to be a mess in Seattle this weekend. But I hope Taylor Swift’s fans have a blast. And Capitol Hill Block Party goers have a blast. And Bite of Seattle people enjoy it. Some places will be bad to drive and public transportation might be the least comfortable since the pandemic. But you man what a vibrant city.
Anyway, for goodness sake, wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
