Wednesday Morning Open Thread

It’s good that the City of Seattle is returning ownership of objects found in 2013 to the Upper Skagit Tribe. It’s a bit strange that the City Council needs to be involved. It seems like it should be automatic. But if that isn’t the process, I am glad they didn’t get in the way.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. Right now. And get vaccinated, for goodness sake, if you’re not already. And boosted if you’re eligible and haven’t been yet.

Open Thread Monday!

Washington doesn’t have a mask mandate anymore. I see a lot of people on Twitter saying that Seattle people are still mostly masked up. I didn’t feel that, but Pike Place Market is my grocery store, and it’s tough to tell who is local, and who is a tourist. Other than that, I didn’t get out much during the weekend. I wish I saw more masks,in general, though.

I am wearing a mask as I write this, but it’s still required on public transportation. I will still wear it at work, but I don’t know how universal that will be.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

I think the budget and transportation packages passed at the end of the legislative session are pretty great. I would prefer no money for new highways, but overall, it feels like non-driving portions of the transit package are more than just an afterthought. And they didn’t fall into the trap of giving tax cuts when there’s a surplus.

Also, congrats to legislative staff on your right to organize!

And please wash your hands right now. And book an appointment today to get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

I think it was coming, but it’s nice to see Seattle extend outdoor seating (first item), with the intent to make it permanent. It is nice, especially as we’re lifting COVID-19 restrictions. I have family who won’t eat inside when there *are* vaccine requirements. So it’s nice that the option is there.

Anyway, please wash your hands right away. And get vaccinated or boosted.

Monday Morning Open Thread

Governor Inslee signed a bill into law on Friday to cap insulin at $35 a month in insurance plans. I was heartened to see that it was bipartisan. People want these sort of laws. They are obviously morally correct.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible for it.

Good morning to everyone except Mike Kreidler. Come on, dude. Come on.

I am generally against people stepping down in the middle of their term. And I think that’s a good starting place as more information comes to light. But damn, treat your employees better.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted.

Good morning to the Washington State Senate. I am glad that they passed 2 important gun regulations. Untraceable ghost guns shouldn’t be out there, and there shouldn’t be guns at government meetings. So there is more work matching up the House and Senate versions of the local meetings bill. The ghost guns bill will be sent to Governor Inslee to be signed. Exciting.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. If you’re not vaccinated, get vaccinated, and if you’re eligible, get boosted.

Hello all you wonderful people. I have no news for you other than I am somewhat inexplicably tired. But talk amongst yourselves.

And it’s still a great time to wash your hands. And an even greater time to get vaccinated if you haven’t yet or boosted if you’re eligible.
