I've been a big advocate of getting #Seattle #LightRail out to the suburbs for 30ish years.
I've lived in this #Lynnwood neighborhood for 7 years and have watched over 30 local businesses closed down, displaced, and disappeared.
Watching my neighborhood get destroyed has been really traumatizing to witness.
The phrase "We had to destroy the village in order to save it." is never far from my mind these days. #gentrification

Hey #Lynnwood friends, come check out Pecos Pit here at Trinity Lutheran.

#sunnyday in #lynnwood - perfect for a #SEABike #bikeride to the #library and #alderwoodmall.
I’m capable and stubborn enough to put up with bike lanes that randomly end, travel next to speeding cars, and crisscross to sidewalks in order to get around the area. But most people are not willing to put up with all of that, nor should they have to!
Our streets should prioritize residents living and recreating - that is how you boost quality of life + create economically thriving communities.

When you get around the city on foot, you come across cool things like these visitors (pictured below).
You also come across not-so-cool things like people too distracted by their McDonalds BBQ dipping sauce to stop their car before the crosswalk (not pictured).

15 mile morning #ebike ride around #Lynnwood and along the #InterurbanTrail - bit sore from the hills but a great start to the day

Short run on the Interurban trail here in Lynnwood, checking out routes in anticipation of future bike commuting. Nice sunny day with an unexpected bald eagle sighting 🦅
Great to see free bike repair stations along the way.

The hubris and flawed thinking behind much of our city planning and development.

Looking into bike/e-bike commuting. Live in Lynnwood, work in SLU.
Any recommendations for a store from which I could rent an e-bike and try out the Interurban trail? That seems like an option for letting me commute 100% on bike rather than needing to make multiple bus/light rail transfers.

Exciting ideas and developments for the region. Let’s back up these initiatives through statewide legislation this year.
What about getting rid of parking minimums to encourage denser, walkable development?

Trying to find a local #salon that is still taking #CovidPrecautions - especially one that requires #Masks - is exhausting.
It looks like there might be 1-2 places in #Seattle but I would really like to find a place in #MillCreek #Bellevue #Bothell #Kirkland #Woodinville or #Lynnwood
My daughter has been asking to get a #haircut for a few weeks now… I have never cut long hair before so I am really not comfortable doing her first haircut.
Big sigh.

Enough is Enough: **What We Know About the Hammerskin Attack in #Lynnwood, #WA**
"As anarchists and antifascists we are not shocked by the events that transpired in Lynnwood, WA on Dec 8th. Those that are shocked by such a naked act of hate and violence simply haven’t been paying attention."
