Here are some selections!

I like #Seattle specific content, and most especially stuff about #publictransit. They get contentious, but if you’re pro-train, they’re some of the most-thoughtful and engaged people on the internet.

Had a recent conversation where #activetransportation was framed as a "nice to have" vs #publictransit as "essential."

It would be great if trains or buses pulled up outside everyone's front door, but that is rare.

🚲👨‍🦼🚶‍♀️facilities are the BACKBONE of any public system. It's how people reach 🚌🚈.
