I don’t claim any expertise in the Seattle Community Court. But it seems good. And I certainly don’t trust Ann Davison. So, I am pretty skeptical of her plan to send fewer people there and more to prison. Especially if they are only committing very low level misdemeanors.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
Good morning to everyone except for the people in Edmonds trying to criminalize homelessness. Jesus, man. 5 years in prison for a second offense. And they have the temerity to call their approach “compassionate”? Get the fuck out of here.
Anyway, I am glad it didn’t pass, but I couldn’t figure out from the article when it will be heard again. So if you live in Edmonds, you may want to contact your city council members and, politely, ask them to actually be compassionate, rather than using it as a buzzword while doing the opposite.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you haven’t yet.
Please join us this evening as the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets to discuss politics and life over a drink.

Sorry, sorry. I got the first alert that I was in proximity to someone with COVID-19 since the pandemic started. Honestly, I wasn’t sure it was working. My contact was last Monday, but honestly I don’t know when that would be. Best guess someone else in my building at work, but it’s weird that nobody else at my job got the notice. Anyway, I was working from home today, and I slept in this morning, then just dropped the ball.
But it’s out of an abundance of caution now because I have no symptoms and am testing negative. Hurray for vaccines and boosters.

It feels weird that advice reporting in the President coming to town is treated as a traffic story. I don’t know, his Earth Day speech will probably be pretty important, avoid Seward Park.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get the fuck vaccinated or boosted.
I think everyone who (a) drives and (b) lives in Seattle’s urban core has taken a mistaken drive through Pike Place Market. I can remember not being able to find parking, so I took a punt on the market. Will, who used to write here, was a passenger and he was making fun of me the whole time. It’s so slow going, and you don’t really know how people are going to behave. found a spot, but it was just so miserable.
And that, more than the obvious improvement for pedestrians, has always baffled me about the debate about closing the market to cars. Honestly, it’s slow and awful. You don’t get to the other side faster than going down First Ave.
Driving in Seattle can be pretty shit at times. But Seattle can save new people from that particular mistake. And make the Market better for the people who use it.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Good morning to everyone except Mike Kreidler. Come on, guy. At a minimum, there needs to be a serious investigation. At this point, he should seriously consider resigning. I am not really OK with throwing out an election based on a couple of (very serious) articles. But it has already been more than a month and I don’t see any signs of a serious investigation. I assume there are more shoes to drop.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re enough of a dumdum not have done it yet.

“You are bad at driving, and should stop.” I feel like Seattle drivers have got worse recently. Maybe they forget post commute. But also, it seems like a lot of the bad driving is Uber and Lyft drivers. Parking in the crosswalk, crossing multiple lanes to drop people off. Blowing through red lights.
So when I see something, especially if they come close to hitting a a pedestrian, a bike, or a car, I just say, loudly but not yelling, “you are bad at driving, and should stop.” I hope if you have come close to hitting someone, or if you actually have, that you will take this advice.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And of you’re unvaccinated or unboosted, get that done.
Good morning to everyone except the right wing jackals who are trying to repeal the capital gains tax. Seriously, pay your fair share. I can’t imagine having $100,000 to spend on an initiative, and not thinking that you have too much money. Just, like, morally.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
