My kingdom for a 7:30 a.m. @sound-transit.bsky.social Sounder from South Tacoma.
The last train leaves at 6:50 a.m. -- how is this the last available commuter option?
Ended up driving to the Tacoma Dome station to take the 7:30 a.m. 590 instead.
Unlike 2023 when we had no bigs and 6'2" Jordan Horston was playing the 4 🤣
Dom/Ezi/Fam is such a fun rotation, International House of Bigs.

This is huge: Katie Wilson's office just announced a significantly expanded schedule for Bicycle Weekends on Lake Washington Boulevard, after years of the program being stifled under Bruce Harrell.
In addition to more weekends, we're getting our long holiday weekends back.
smoking in restaurants
lost california tourist driving through pike place
Smoking in restaurants used to be ubiquitous — despite it degrading the experience for everyone else.
It was the way things had always been done — it's tradition! Smokers are essential for business!
Then we banned it in 2005. Now no one wants to go back.
This is a post about cars in Pike Place.
NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.
The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.
Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.
Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.
Yes! It's wild they're so under-utilized here in the Seattle-area. We have them at almost all major bus and train stations and you can park your bike, helmet, or whatever there for up to 10 days.
The Trump regime is a Mafia-style racket. Everything is about the grift.
In their wildest fantasies about Hunter Biden, Republicans didn't come up with anything half as corrupt as what Kushner is doing in front of our eyes every day. He's handling US foreign policy at the exact same time that he's taking billions from the Saudi dictator.
Velotric e-bike in the South Tacoma Station bike locker
Since my new commute is door to door transit, minus the mile from my house to get to the Sounder station, I've started using the Bike Lock lockers for my end to end connection.
Can't beat $.05 an hour.
"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran.
Months ago, we bombed Iran
& "obliterated" their nuke capabilities.
And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran
bc of their nuke capabilities."

Disappointingly, HB2095 didn't make it out of Senate committee yesterday. We need more driver accountability to keep people walking, biking, and rolling safe when they're getting around.
List of favors to the oil industry from the Trump administration.
Big Oil flooded Donald Trump’s campaign with cash.
Now, they’re getting billions in handouts from his administration.

As the daughter of a UPS driver and Teamster who was able to retire with dignity, I couldn't be more excited.
Some day, everyone will have always been against this.
It doesn't have to be this way. I will never understand why traffic violence is just accepted.
this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.
seriously. Reducing VMT through Congestion pricing and bike lanes is how you lower pollution levels.

tbh, high on my list of the 101 reasons I do not have kids is "listening to my own music and watching my own shows"
City: We unanimously declare a climate emergency! We must make change no matter what the cost, humanity's survival depends on it!
Community: Can we put in a protected bike lane to get more people cycling.
City: No, we'll lose parking spots.
Today is the kind of beautiful fall day to enjoy everything that is walkable about South Tacoma. To my fave People's Pilates instructor on STW and then Side Piece Kitchen off Pine.
Not quite ready to bike South Tacoma again after the close pass that knocked me over, but I'll get there!
Reason No. 454 to take the Sounder to Seattle:
Live chickens blocked traffic on I-5 all morning: komonews.com/news/local/t...
I enjoyed co-chairing the joint Tacoma Bike/Pedestrian and Transportation Commission meeting last night. Two takeaways:
1) Tacoma's leaders *really* care about mobility + access
2) Our next Streets Initiative needs more outreach and better messaging (like "Build the Damn Sidewalks!")
Oh hey, it's Paul from @cascade.org talking about Cranksgiving on @fox13seattle.bsky.social! www.fox13seattle.com/video/1743614. See you all Saturday!
Mamdani's campaign is once again proof that Steve Phillips' "Brown is the New White" election guide is true --
When a candidate or campaign stands on their progressive principles instead of catering to white moderates, they increase turnout, and turnout is what wins against Big Money.
I love road trips. I dig Formula 1.
I LOATHE car commuting. It has robbed so much time from my life.
Transit is less stressful, less expensive, and I can listen to podcasts, music and audiobooks. Or just think.
I experience more of the city and more community when walking, biking or on transit.
In 2024, Washington state ranked 10th in the nation for voter turnout! Let's keep it going.

"Mention women or gender and many men have the false assumption that they are not welcome. Let me be very clear for those men who are in doubt of their place in discussions about women and gender in urbanism: This is as much your issue as it is ours!"

"If we had a contingency fund."
You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?
