I can't believe I am saying this 😅 but you can check out Bellevue Brewing Company, near Spring District Station in Bellevue. This is not a pedestrian-only street, but they have a massive plaza right next to the brewery's outdoor area where yesterday we saw just the scene you described

Always fun to put a sticker somewhere and then check if new dots appear on www.closecall.report
I was planning to finally do taxes tomorrow, but it looks like I can procrastinate for two more weeks!
this is such an amazing photo! 💖

One week left to tell us what you think! Which streets should be priority areas for lowering speed limits on 30 mph (and higher) streets in Bellevue. The survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes. www.engagingbellevue.com/safe-speeds-...
this is what @sound-transit.bsky.social needs to get better at!
Reader support keeps The Urbanist running.
Advertising has covered as much as 40% of our budget in recent years—an unfortunate necessity and a drag on the reading experience.

No, it's because transit here is unreliable and inconvenient. And I completely agree that all transit planning apps here are annoying, and all in slightly different ways
Fantastic article about the history of @cityofbellevuewa.bsky.social that probably would have stayed hidden if not for David Neiwert's reporting
A tweet from @chillextremist saying, “When I’m in the suburbs for too long I start to think about dying” quote tweeted by @exhaustdata saying “Ten thousand dissertations all called “the American novel since 1945” reduced to a single sentence”.
A modern classic.

~10 years ago my spouse forgot a knife in his backpack. and we had a layover with another security screening! but then on another flight they made him take out a book from the backpack because its spine looked suspicious or something

Thank you for your amazing book! I was at your talk at Bellevue Library today, and I wonder if you are thinking of reprinting it? I would like to have my own copy so that I can quickly share it with anyone.
The City of Bellevue is working to keep you safe on our streets. Did you know, 30 mph streets make up 25% of total streets, but account for 88% of fatal or serious injury collisions? We want to hear from you, where you would prioritize lower speed limits? www.engagingbellevue.com/safe-speeds-...
btw, I like how most promotional cycling videos, unlike the ones for cars, usually have many cyclists riding together or at least at the same time on the same road and having fun!
who on the committee should we thank for that?
whether you get benefits as part of the severance depends on your contract and state law, and you lose insurance for you whole family btw. the point of my comment is, it’s very easy to get into a very shitty situation very quickly even for members of the techie class if you haven’t been very careful
coverage they would lose after a layoff
Alright, Washingtonians, the SB 5974 is heading to the House and we need your input!
Please contact your representatives to share your support. We successfully sent over 1,000 emails to our Senators—let’s do even more for the House!

Have a great weekend!
