The person hit by a driver at Bellevue and Pine earlier tonight has died, according to the Seattle Police Department.
I have drank too much at the local furry cidery.
I also found some cool art someone left behind.
HERE IT IS. Seattle's draft enabling legislation for Shared Streets under SB 5595. seattle.legistar.com/ViewReport.a...
I decided to do an entirely normal thing and watch this and uh, y'all are saints I can't believe how many bad arguments keep coming up from the republicans.
TLDR for all of this: amazon cannot run a grocery store. I assume Whole Foods is isolated enough they're continuing to exist out of past experience, but holy shit these stores closing does not surprise me in the slightest. Every single time i went in was a new horror.
I've been watching the stream for a couple hours now, it's just republicans yelling about how this is going to impact everyone who doesn't make enough money to have to pay the tax. They're maybe 15% of the way through amendments.
Two things for @mayorofseattle.bsky.social and @alexis4seattle.bsky.social:
1. We need to know how and why this happened tomorrow, and have a proposed solution to prevent it.
2. We need to immediately spin up a Vision Zero Response Team with more funding than the 2026 graffiti abatement budget.
