The long saga of the 0.1% sales tax authority that King County can tap into without having to go to the voters has officially concluded, after kicking off last summer.
But @jrock08.bsky.social didn't like my idea of showing the Seattle Channel here when sports aren't on.
If you told me a few hours ago that Seattle's savior today would be REAGAN DUNN I would not have believed you. He was the fifth vote needed.
We should keep it like this after FIFA is over.
lol there are like 1,000 people watching a soccer game on Occidental right now and the Downtown Seattle Association is still packing up half of the chairs and tables from the park.
Seattle Fire just responded to a driver hitting someone on a bike at MLK Jr Way S and S Alaska Street, at Columbia City station.
The person who was hit is being transported to the hospital.
"A new road tax in King County passed 5-4 Friday, despite opposition from Seattle lawmakers."
Uh, who wants to tell KIRO what actually happened?
