There was also an @metropolitanglide.bsky.social one but I wasn't fast enough to capture it.
On transit, Zahilay is announcing "Metro's next stop", a name being given to an update of King County Metro's long range plan through 2038.
He says it will include: 9 new routes, 4 new RapidRide routes, and an increase in the number of routes running at least every 15 minutes.
He's also announcing a "permit advisory panel" that is focused on reducing permit timelines in order to accelerate housing production.
In his state of the county address, Girmay Zahilay just announced that King County will advance plans for an 80 unit tiny house village on county land in Seattle.
I spy an @amysundberg.bsky.social byline behind Girmay Zahilay as gives his State of the County address.
Girmay Zahilay's State of the County address this evening is being kicked off by Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell, who recently threw one of Federal Way's councilmembers under the bus for supporting the rights of school students to protest ICE overreach.
(The speech is being held in Federal Way)
