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.

Washington State has been partnering with pharmacies to give out N95 masks. But the policy hasn’t been very well publicized. I saw this Tweet back in January. But I never saw a good list of where they’re being handed out, and anyway I had several. But last weekend, I was running low, so I went to my local pharmacy and asked where they were and the lady working there went and grabbed me a handful. I hope that’s been happening throughout the state.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. Now. And if you aren’t vaccinated, please get vaccinated. If you are eligible for the booster, please make an appointment.

I don’t have any data to support it, but walking around, it seems like there are more tents on the sidewalk Downtown, and in the rest of the urban core, than since near the start of the pandemic. I don’t know if it’s kicking people out of parks and neighborhoods.

In any event, I am glad to see the private sector is going to have navigators to help people out of homelessness. It’s been all hands on deck for a while, and any help is good. But the lack of housing is the biggest problem, and until the city addresses that, there’s only so much these teams can do.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And if you aren’t vaccinated, make an appointment today. If you’re eligible for the booster, get boosted.

Mayor Harrell gave his first State of the City address. Sweeps and hiring more police. Bidness! But also labor.

Anyway,please wash your hands. Right now! And for God’s sake, get vaccinated if you haven’t yet. Get boosted if you’re eligible.

Good morning. I am not sure that Inslee’s announcement of easing mask mandates at large outdoor spaces is the right call. Especially if he’s talking about further repealing the indoor mandates. I do want to see that at some point, but we’re still in the middle of it. I am glad he is being more cautious than many other governors, even Democratic governors.

Masks are a slight inconvenience, but people act like the sky is falling. It’s much worse to spread COVID-19. Let alone catch it.

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

So, Twitter has been dunking on this for a while. But it’s so weird. Councilmember Juarez is arguing that Pike Place Market is unsafe except “Saturday in broad daylight.” Like, I have talked to women who are concerned about being in high crime parts of the city. So I can understand if she said those blocks on 2nd Avenue near Westlake, or 12th and Jackson, or pick whatever park has a lot of tents right now. It might be a bit callous, but I would understand. But Pike Place? The biggest problem is crowding, not crime. I do most of my shopping at Pike Place, and I just don’t understand why she chose that as her example.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And if you aren’t vaccinated, get vaccinated, if you aren’t boosted, get boosted.

Here in Seattle, our levies passed fairly easily. So good for us. A quick perusal looks like they passed in a lot of other cities. But less so in some exurban and rural areas. Does anyone have a comprehensive list?

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And if you aren’t vaccinated, please do it. If you aren’t boosted, do that.

Tomorrow is the last day to get your ballot postmarked or dropped off. So get on it. Please if you live in Seattle vote yes on both. And don’t forget about King Conservation District, our most ridiculous election.

And, hey, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated if you haven’t yet, and boosted if you’re eligible.

Good afternoon. Sorry I didn’t write anything this morning.

Good morning. I trust a lot of people pushing for the delay of WA Cares. So I do trust that it’s a temporary thing. But it still stinks that the first bill Inslee signed this session is pushing back implementation of state run long term care.

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