Child care that ends at 3 p.m. doesn't work for many working families. So we're changing it.

This fall, our 2-K program will pilot year-round care for 2-year-olds, with a full 10-hour day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Because truly "universal" child care matches the reality of working people's lives.

The new Yesler Way protected bike lane is OPEN.

This is a new protected connection for people biking and scooting between the Waterfront and Seattle Ferry Terminal to Seattle's downtown bike network.

Our crews sent us some photos.

Updated signage: Public Market shared street 10mph before 10am local access OK 10am limited vehicle access for deliveries emergency vehicles, ADA customer pickup

We have our first look at potential shared street signage in Seattle, from SDOT's plan for Pike Place after the legislation implementing SB 5595 is approved by the city council.

[FOR DISCUSSION ONLY]

NEW: The Pike Place PDA reports foot traffic was up 5.4% in 2025 (first year of the pedestrianization pilot) over 2024, 8.5% over 2023.🚶🏼‍♀️📈

They say 2025 was "the strongest year ever for percent rent" (a sales metric based on their tenants income). Overall they were $4.7 million in the black.💲📈

This is cool: @mayorofseattle.bsky.social just shared a form for Seattle residents, workers, and fans to nominate City employees who deserve recognition for their service. ⭐

I will sign this version of the Millionaires' Tax.

A new proposal from Rep. Berg ensures significant money goes to Washington families and small businesses.

I’m pleased that a policy close to my heart is included: Free school lunch and breakfast for all Washington students.

The World Cup is coming to Seattle. Will it actually pay off for local businesses? This summer, Seattle becomes one of 16 North American cities to host FIFA World Cup matches. That includes six games, a projected 750,000 visitors, and nearly a billion dollars flowing into King Count...

This guide outlining ways for local businesses and community groups to participate in the World Cup is fantastic. Thank you @joshuamcnichols.bsky.social for the writeup and everyone helping spread word!

This is great!

Some 6-7 year old boy on the bus from #Bellevue into #Seattle JUST found out he’s not going to school (which would have started an hour ago, #lol) today, and he is CHUFFED 😆

😮 eyes wide, mouth open, everything.

His LITTLE sister is rolling her eyes. She’s known for hours 🤣

#Seahawks #PNW

Cool! I’ve been using Transit more for buses but I didn’t even realize it had these options

Congestion Pricing’s Unexpected Winners: Suburban Drivers NYC’s controversial toll program hasn’t just sped up trips inside Manhattan, a new paper finds. It’s easing traffic in outer boroughs and neighboring counties.

A strange but true finding about NYC congestion pricing:

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

I-5 lane closures wreak havoc, but some commuters find a silver lining Seattle-area workers are changing their habits to accommodate the lane closures, which are set to last two years.

“Obviously, the lane closures have a big impact on commuters... making this a great opportunity to promote Seattle’s many alternative transportation methods — some of which visitors come to Seattle to experience, like the Monorail, ferry, and water taxi.”
