Good morning. If you can, please get vaccinated. Vaccines are still tough to get in walking or biking distance from my apartment. But it sounds like in parts of the state, vaccines are available. So please get vaccinated if you can. And if you’re competing with me for spots in Seattle, I hope you get it, but I am still going to try.

And in the meantime, please wash your hands.

For Governor Inslee (and President Biden, and Democrats in Congress and the legislature, but this post is about Inslee) I am often not sure how much credit I should give for basic stuff. But this is going to be me praising him for a thing he should do.

So, after the State Supreme Court ruling that the drug possession law violated the state constitution, Inslee is commuting sentences. And you can imagine some other governor saying let the court deal with it, or actively pushing back. So the right thing is good.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

– Some counties could be going back to phase 2 for COVID-19 reopening. I don’t think King County will be one, but restaurants are quite crowded for how much of the population has not been vaccinated yet.

– This article about the cost of not vaccinating is interesting.

– I hope that the Seattle Chamber of Commerce will stay out of elections long term, but good for 2021.

– Light rail on the I-5 Columbia River crossing in the Federal infrastructure plan would be great.

– Wash your hands right now.

Good morning. Here are some things.

– Some great reporting on the police officers on the Brady list in Washington.

– And speaking of police who shouldn’t be police.

– Get yourself on the Seattle mass vaccination site list. And keep on looking (and feel free to drop other locations in Washington in the thread.

– Wash your hands, you grubby weirdo.

– Biden’s judicial nominees seem pretty rad.

As Seattle rents start to creep up, hopefully we’ll be able to mitigate it. But given how it went in the years before the pandemic, I have some doubts.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now.

Good morning to the Seattle students heading back to class.

I am a bit worried that this is too soon. But at some point, it has to happen. It is probably something that can be done safely, but that is a far cry from we will do it safely. Hopefully, between the Federal and state COVID-19 plans, there’s at enough money.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

Here are some things what happened:

– Very exciting that everyone over 16 in Washington will be able to get vaccinated starting April 15.

– I wasn’t familiar with Rena Priest before she was made Poet Laureate of Washington. But reading some of her work, it seems like a good decision.

– We have to do better by homeless people than just post pictures of garbage and graffiti.

– Wash your hands right now.

Good morning! Here are some things:

– Lots of you are newly eligible for the COVID-19 shot. I am jealous. Find your location to get your vaccine here.

– Wash your hands right now.

– The restored library in Snohomish is going to open soon.

– There are a lot of confounds, of course, but I would rather have Washington State’s economy than Idaho’s COVID-19 rates if there is a tradeoff.

– When the evictions start happening after the moratorium ends, it will be good that Seattle tenants will have attorneys.

New budget proposals just dropped. The state House and Senate 2 year budget proposals have been announced. It seems like good stuff. Of course it’s such a weird year, focusing on COVID-19 recovery and bringing back the economy are top priorities.

Anyway, wash your hands right now!

May 1 is the day everyone over 16 is going to be eligible for the COVID-19 shot in Washington. We’ve known this day would come for a while, but it’s nice to see the beginning of the end in sight. When you’re eligible, please get the vaccine. The more arms it gets into, the better. But now, we’re so close.

In the meantime, please wash your hands right now.

SPD should have lived within its budget. I am sorry if overpolicing protests has made it more difficult, but also tough shit. I also want better public disclosure and evidence storage too. I also would like the police to live within their means.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.
