Ok that’s fair. I’d say that’s still more economy vacancies than the other classes, but it is a different story

💯 I thought it was a fluke at first, then I checked all the other flights and it’s all the same. It’s like the K-shaped economy / middle class collapse made manifest

Not obscure, just striking as I’m trying to visit ill family overseas:

Seattle <-> Shanghai flights all look like this. Completely full in the front (first class, premium classes), completely empty in coach.

These planes are flying half empty because the middle class don’t have money to spend.

When do we get a pied-a-terre (absentee luxury vacation estate) tax, @mayorofseattle.bsky.social ?

When wildfires tore through L.A. last year and burned over 13,000 homes, landlords wasted no time hiking rents, gouging displaced families. The climate crisis is an affordability crisis. We need an agenda that tackles both. This is it.

Love that Westneat just writes the challengers off with "It's rare for any incumbent to lose" rather than engaging with the idea that there are so many challengers because they correctly see that do nothing incumbent Democrats are particularly vulnerable this year!

Fall 2025 Update Updates from Our Seattle Factory After much discussion, testing, and careful planning, we have a big update this fall. We’ve decided to partner with a family-owned factory in Vietnam to expand our pro...

Yeah!! Has to be on a workday before 3p though boo

Also for anyone not keeping up with Tom Bihn there has been an unfortunate business change: moving the lower cost, crossbody and accessories production to Vietnam www.tombihn.com/blogs/main/i...

Unfortunate I think they closed that store recently and are just back to the SODO factory store

This one has been with me for almost 9 years! Probably going to retire it soon for a modern production with less PFAS coating though

Literally also the only people I know who own Tom Bihns in real life

In her first 100 days, Jenny Durkan, Harrell's predecessor, signed multiple executive orders and pushed policy through the City Council to address housing, education and infrastructure, identifying herself as an "impatient mayor." Since he took office, Harrell has taken a slower approach to public policy, without a public plan for the first 100 days. He has not shared a set of specific goals for his first year in office either. Instead, he says, his early days have been focused on studying the city and the office he inherited. "We will be describing in better detail our one-year, two-year, three-year, four-year plans. But I think, quite candidly, an accurate assessment of the hand that I've been dealt as the 57th mayor — understanding, fully understanding, that hand is the first order of business," he said.

Reading this now is wild. Can you imagine if Katie Wilson said she was still spending time getting an "understanding" of the city after 100 days.

100 days in, Harrell says assessing the city's needs is 'first order of business'

The Seattle Times forgot to give Katie Wilson an intensely flattering front page retrospective on her first 100 days, I wonder what is different about this administration.

I'm not sure this is my real position, but I have a very hard time coming up with any positives of sepa and eirs. I've read far too many of the eirs for highways that spend 50 pages talking about how views (for drivers) will be preserved and 1 page saying that it's not a big deal if we kill owls.

Köppen climate classification - Wikipedia

“It’s relative” is exactly why Seattle is temperate. From a global perspective, all of the West coast are temperate, because so much of the world is so much more extreme.

Seattle is Köppen classification Csb: temperate, cool-summer Mediterranean.

Also, am I spot on on the MBA bro vibes or what

I am trying to be mean to someone who calls cyclists on LWB a “vocal, entitled minority.” Friends were literally threatened for their lives on that route on a regular basis, and LWB is the easiest case for a safe bike lane in the city.

His profile looks like a terminally online MBA divorcee’s, they will never do any homework. They always think their words come from god

KUOW should also not escape ire for platforming austerity shit

Catching up on KUOW Week in Review from last week, and the way my soul left my body when the guest from the Washington Policy Center suggested that Seattle shouldn't have built the Koolhaus Central Library because it's expensive to maintain now...

From a Lake City Way resident to an Aurora resident, I am sorry you had to walk on 145th with your baby and I hope you never will have to again.

And of course, the reason it’s like that on the Seattle side is because of Jackson Park. That’s why we do @jp4all.bsky.social
