At least WSDOT didn't bother to build a ramp to downtown so the 424 and 545 can't even stop there?

The only time I biked down Admiral was during a freak storm with gusty winds. Between the torrential rain and wind blowing me into the other lane, it was terrifying enough that I never did it again.

The word Transquake in trans flag colors on a jagged background reminiscent of earthquake cracks.

The right claims that trans people are destroying society. What's a trans scientist to do other than test that hypothesis?

Is he about to enter the Nexus?

Unfortunately it looks like the 119 is still weekday-only so still can't get to Maury Island easily on the weekends but small steps of progress! I would definitely go back to hike around the central forest again, which only requires the 118.

“Vashon Summer Sundays” King County Metro Water Taxi Pilots Seven-Day Service to Vashon Island This Summer King County Metro is launching a pilot program this summer that will bring Sunday Water Taxi service to Vashon Island, providing seven-day-a-week access between Seattle and Vashon Island. King Coun…

Yep! Hopefully it can become permanent kingcountywatertaxiblog.com/2026/04/03/v...

That's awful, so sorry for you and your family.

We celebrated the start of the Sunday service for the Vashon water taxi with a hike in the island's central forest! It was trivial to get to from downtown, and we even ended up with some Metro swag! Might be a good addition for Transit Trekker @transittrekker.bsky.social #transittrek #transithike

I didn't think I could love this new mayorship more, but it turns out I can. Thanks for making Bike Weekend even better @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social!

I like to call this bus bingo - how many unique routes can I ride and still return to my starting point. Looks like you had a great run!

KCM used to be more like Muni; one of the best improvements to the 44 after (mostly) splitting it from the 43 was a stop diet, and it worked wonderfully. Bus lanes and queue jumps are great too, but stop diets take basically no infrastructure.

I've been wondering about this for a couple decades now. When was the last time SPL opened a new branch? 2004 when the new central branch opened?

Um, I'm no traffic engineer but it looks like there's several feet of median that could have been reduced instead?

I've been a user of the text email client mutt for over 25 years now, and nothing about the last couple years has made me want to switch. I have complete control of notifications, no ads or LLM nonsense, regex searching...

As a non-driver I guess I don't really pay attention. I hope people are able to adapt - the 2 Line couldn't have opened at a better time in that regard.

Maybe start with how the multi-ton quadcycles - many of which even have combustion engines and are linked to tens of thousands of fatalities- are being used first?

Is that a lot?

Someone should tell Bruce Harrell he missed out on a ribbon-cutting.

I'd say it needs to be reevaluated in any case. This is the agency that thinks that Capitol Hill should get the same number of Link stations as Fife, which gets one more Link station than Belltown.

Weird, because we have used that stop in the last week.

Blocking a bike lane and a bus stop 😑

This is why 10% of flex posts should actually be rebar anchored into the concrete, covered in reflective plastic as camouflage. Urban pickup truck drivers tend to be surprisingly upset about scuff marks and dents...

If it weren't for the fact that it also kills people not in the Cybertruck, I'd chalk this up to a self-correcting problem, possibly the best design Elon Musk has ever come up with.

When I mentioned that it destroys community to a group of AI devotees, I got so many blank stares that it convinced me that many of these people don't even know what that is or why they could benefit from it. Makes sense when you consider the background and overall behavior from the industry.

I think these are counting vehicles, not people? 1/5 vehicle reduction while the RR E hit a record 16k daily boardings in 2020 is impressive. I do wonder why transit reliability is down so much when personal vehicle use is also down, though.

I hate that this happened to her, and I hate that so few people in power care that this could be you, or me, or them.

And this is why I love storytelling games far more than the crunchy systems. I know it makes the rules lawyers sad because there's so much less to gripe about, but that's a plus for me.

When two civil service erections are in the same GIS grid...

@seattledot.bsky.social Could we get some actual barriers to protect the bike lane on N 34th St? Drivers have figured out they can just destroy the flex posts and park in the bike lane with no consequences. #carsinbikelanes

I bet we could go an entire century without a cyclist managing to hit the broad side of a train.
