The Washington State eviction moratorium has been extended again. This time through the end of June.

Given the rate of vaccination, I would guess that it will be the last extension. I hope that the state and Federal relief packages will mean it’s a relatively soft landing when the moratorium expires.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

I took a walk past Denny Park the other day. Man, the only thing more awful than it full of tents, is the absence of those tents. Knowing that my city is shuffling people around without finding help for most of them. Knowing that I’m helping to pay to hassle, and worse, people living rough through a pandemic.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

Local races are really heating up all over the state. Here in Seattle, in addition to mayor and some city council positions, we will have school board, King County, Port of Seattle. We’re still a couple months away from filing week, but some of the races are starting to get interesting. Is there any local election you’re looking forward to?

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

Those of you who live in King County, how are you voting in the Conservation District? I follow Brittney Bush Bollay on Twitter, and she seems like a good egg. She has a solid from the Sierra Club. I have also heard good things about Doug Hennick.

The district having elections rather than just being appointed by the executive is a bit weird. But as long as it’s elected, you might as well vote for it online.

Also, please wash your hands right now.

It has been a year since the first COVID-19 death in the United States. It has been a hell year, although the absolute worst is behind us (touch wood). I haven’t gone further than a bike can take a round trip from my apartment. Here’s hoping the next year is better.

It is the right thing to let felons who have served their time vote. It will help them be part of society once they have served their time. And a democracy should include everyone. So I am glad that a bill to do that has passed the state House. The article doesn’t really say what its prospects are in the Senate, so it couldn’t hurt to contact yours.

One thing I’m curious about, although obviously it’s the right thing to do either way, is how they will vote. During the 2004 election lawsuit they found some former felon voters, and many were Republicans. Not sure how much you can extrapolate a small sample size, but it may be that it helps Republicans a bit.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

The legislature is moving forward on police reform (first item, although the private prison story is interesting too). It would mean that police have to intervene when their colleagues use excessive force.

My favorite quote in the piece is Senator Jeff Holy complaining that it would make it tougher to hire cops. Good, my dude. Like, if it’s tougher to hire police who look the other way when other police are violent, it’s a better police force.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.
