“If we raise taxes back to the rates we had in the 1970s, no one will found the next Microsoft or Apple!” 🤡
Childcare is economic infrastructure — and far too expensive already.

The American media will focus almost entirely on the number of casualties to US service members, but the bombing of a school in the middle of a school day is just an absolute moral disaster. There is no possible justification. It’s just evil and depraved recklessness.
We are monstrous.
Sorry for the late response but yes, this is right!
You'll be hearing more about this.
good evening to everyone voting aye only

I will do it. I will buy the Vancouver Whitecaps.
MARCH 28
Annie Kucklick of @eoionline.bsky.social: childcare in Cowlitz Co. has increased 263% in costs since 2001, while wages have only gone up 80%.
These same families have to pay higher taxes than the wealthiest corporations, and are hit hardest by MAGA cuts to health care and food.
As @rianwatt.bsky.social & I wrote in this piece, there are tangible solutions #WaLeg can enact this session to end cyclical revenue shortfalls, fix our tax code & create a more affordable WA. They must reject harmful budget cuts & ensure corporations & the ultra-wealthy pay their share in taxes.
One week on @theurbanist.org:
-Two original Sound Transit stories
-Two fully reported Seattle budget stories
-Dispatches from both Clyde Hill & Kirkland
-One story about Katie Wilson's transition team
And a book review!
I know I'm biased, but I really think we punch above our weight.
I'm so excited for The Urbanist to roll into 2026 at full strength, covering new admins at the city and county and major stories elsewhere, including at Sound Transit.
I hope you'll consider joining us at our holiday party to support that work. It's also fun!

Excited to see this team get to work:

Supporter’s Shield but for baseball is a great idea.
If you expand to 32 teams you can also do a balanced 186-game schedule where each team plays every other team three games home and three away each year.
You can do an October tournament with the top four for fun.
This baseball game has officially outlasted the NWSL match next door that started 2 1/2 hours after it

peace be with Adam Wainwright as he tries to get his coworker to make a different point in the meeting
It's not an exaggeration to say that @typewriteralley.bsky.social is the only reporter in the region who could write this story in quite this way.

I was on @kuow.org's Week in Review this afternoon. A good time!

Five years ago, for the 10th World Homelessness Day, I wrote this brief call to action. Five years gone and little progress. But I stand by each word:

There's two blocks between the East Precinct and 12th and Union. Two blocks, two reversed decisions, one week.
Do you need management experience to get it wrong this reliably?
Then it was this whole mess in the heart of Capitol Hill:

First, it was eliminating a bus lane advocates fought for for years after developers wanted space for their right turns from the East side. Advocates fought back and the city immediately reversed.

If Bruce Harrell's case for re-election is his management experience, what should we make of two separate instances in the last week of city decisions made under his watch being immediately reversed after huge community blowback?
Extraordinarily thoughtful and nuanced from one of Seattle’s best, Marcus Harrison Greene:
