Hantavirus case reported in King County

While rare in King County, residents should be aware of the risk of hantavirus. Minimizing exposure to rodents, particularly deer mice and their nests is key to prevention. https://tinyurl.com/2p96u5k5

@ai6yr Speaking of exit plans, #KingCounty (county seat Seattle) owns various locked gates in the wildland urban interface that could be opened to provide evacuation routes. Currently none of those routes will show up on any evac map.

I have been beating this drum with the county. Now due to the Maui fire and recent fire near Spokane the county has agreed to start looking at this issue. Actual results yet to follow.

Air quality alert in effect in #seattle and #kingcounty starting at 9 am today: https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=SEW&wwa=air%20quality%20alert

Close your windows, turn on your air filters and stay indoors folks.

You may have missed this but the stretch of I-405 between #Renton and #bellevuewa is completely closed this weekend from 10p Friday to 5a Monday.
Avoid the area. Avoid the detour as Coal Creek is slow enough without the traffic.

Please boost

As a former #PollWorker, it is fascinating that #KingCounty #Seattle does their elections (or at least tomorrow’s primary?) 100% by mail-in ballots and ballot boxes. I was hoping to volunteer as a worker for some future election again - clearly it’ll have to be in another capacity!

Shout-out to #AlleghenyCounty + #Pittsburgh for helping me catch the civic-duty bug! I miss the old polling place where I worked several elections that was LITERALLY THE GARAGE OF A DUDE’S HOUSE.

This shows #KingCounty #Washington but you can pick any country in any state to view the results.

The charts are too much to do detailed alt txt so if you're sight impaired and want a number for a particular state & county or hospital and there's not a bazillion requests I can tell you.

#Seattle - #KingCounty - #Washington

The Court ruled unhoused people have #privacy rights in their homes protected by Article 1, section 7 of Washington’s #Constitution. The Court explained that “denying Ream and Kitcheon any protected privacy in their homes would be yet one more permission slip to consider them not fully human.”

The Court found the rules underlying the City’s #sweeps policy were #unconstitutional because they covered people and property who were not true obstructions. Absent actual hazards, removal requires notice, offer of alternative locations or shelter, and an opportunity to determine whether personal property was taken and how to get it back.

the #Court also held the City of Seattle’s sweeps policy constituted cruel punishment under Article 1, section 14 of #Washington’s Constitution in some circumstances because the sweeps subject the #unhoused to #criminal and #civil penalties for living on public land when there is no alternative to do so.

@fediversereport @avhuffelen Yes, it would be advantageous for #nationalweatherservice to create a presence in #Mastadon. I’d also like to see #KingCounty and #Washingtonstate have a presence here. #PublicHealth and #Disasters are monitored by these jurisdictions and social media links are another form of broadcasting information among a population. #Fediverse

OK, now that there's exactly a week left, we should go ahead and announce that we'll have our own table at #TransPrideSeattle 2023.

We're partnering with Art of #KellyDeanVerity who is the veteran here in terms of setting up these sorts of things; Verity will be working live on a brand-new painting as well as showing off some of what they offer Patreon subscribers.

We'll have our usual red-stamped #zines out as well as flags and stickers we'll be giving out in return for donations to our legal defense. We may also have some fun new stuff, but that's still being worked on.

(Remember, you can always print our zines directly off our site via queersatanic.com/zines and ask us for sticker designs to print yourself if you have that capability, but please support us as much and as often as your can and don't sell anything we make.)

Please come by and say hello!

Moreover, we’re still being sued by #TheSatanicTemple in federal appellate court and now #KingCounty Superior Court.

#TST is also still suing Newsweek and its reporter (but maybe not her anymore!) for writing about us. In addition, the #SatanicTemple is now suing a TikToker in #Texas for talking about our case. Check the pinned post for more.
