Not enough transit operators and not enough working buses / mechanics means we are losing routes that may not be essential for many but are essential for someone. #Seattle #KingCounty #Bus #ServiceChange

There’s a powerful post from County Councilmember Girmay Zahilay about #GunViolence and #KingCounty on Instagram Twitter and Facebook. It’s worth reading and sharing. If folks know a website it is posted where we could share it from, let us know.

Interesting election results. We look forward to checking out the final maps / visualizations in the coming months. Whatever happens we need the most pro renter and least pro cop voices elected in November. Lots of door knocking ahead of us to make sure that happens. #Seattle #KingCounty #Elections

Special shout out to @subzidion from Upgrade King County for playing amazing guitar at our picnic. Our favorite moment was when one of the kids walked up to him super serious and was like very slow and careful "I really enjoyed your music."

A good ruling from King County Superior Court judge David Keenan that the city can’t without notice destroy or take a person’s tent and belongings based on a very broad definition of obstruction. https://publicola.com/2023/07/19/citys-primary-tool-for-sweeping-encampments-without-notice-ruled-unconstitutional/ #Seattle #KingCounty

“In Seattle, children have been able to ride public transit for free since last fall, an effort to cultivate the next generation of public transportation users, said Dow Constantine, the county executive of King County. The county also provides a free transit pass to anyone who sees a hockey or a basketball game at the Climate Pledge Arena in downtown Seattle.”https://arr.as/9 #Transit #KingCounty #Seattle #PublicTransit #Hockey #Basketball #RideFree #Children #ClimatePledgeArena

This morning's activity: emailing Mayor Harrell (#Seattle) and Executive Constantine (#KingCounty exec) to ask what they are doing to hasten the fixing of the #SoundTransit issues through downtown. For once a problem with ST is legitimately out of their control but without real political leadership and presence, ST will be blamed for it and it's having a hard enough time. :/
