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 morning. People in many Washington jurisdictions have received a ballot in the mail. It’s probably a levy or bond issue. Just vote for them. It’s silly that we have to fund schools and other vital services this way. But we do, so vote yes.

Also, if you live in King County you can vote on the King Conservation District. I always feel a little blind voting on that, so if you’re passionate about anyone let me know.

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

Good morning to everyone except the people selling and using fake vaccine cards. Honestly, what the fuck? Just get the fucking shot, you whiny asssholes. Seriously, I am rooting for them to be heavily fined. Heavily. Seriously, we’re trying to get through a deadly disease and here they are on the side of COVID-19.

And hey, the good news is that you can get a real vaccine card (and a life saving vaccine) for free.

This account of getting homeless people isolated after time in crowded shelters during the cold spell is amazing. I don’t know how we prepare for those sorts of events when the people act differently than usual. But clearly if people caught COVID-19, something didn’t work.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And Jesus Christ almighty get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.

Good morning. You can sign up for free testing kits from the government. Couldn’t be simpler. It took like 20 seconds. Boom. Easy. They’ll be good to have. Go do it right now. More is also available through your insurance.

And then wash your hands. And get vaccinated or boosted.

You guys! King County rocks. More than 90% of people under 5 have received their first shot and more than 80% have had their full course. It’s been a lot, and it isn’t over, but this is truly great work by so many people.

Thanks to everyone who got the shot. Thanks if you are afraid of needles or were worried about side effects but did it anyway. Thanks to everyone, starting with Seatac voters, and eventually statewide, who made sure we have a sick leave to take a day off if necessary. Thanks for politicians who pushed state and local mandates.

Thanks to everyone who organized and participated in a vaccine event. Thanks to the people giving shots and taking information. Thanks for people who were there while we waited 15 minutes. Thanks to the private places that gave their space. Thanks to Lumen Field and Amazon for me specifically.

If you haven’t yet, please get vaccinated or boosted.
