Tukwila and Sea-Tac have both banned new ICE detention facilities. Tukwila was one of the places they were looking at large-warehouse rental or purchase for one of their staging-area style concentration camps.

Attorney General Nick Brown - @AGOWA - saying:
Thank you @WAGOP for showing everyone who you are. Please keep it up. Please keep attacking me with racist insults. Please keep supporting Trump no matter what he does or says. It's important that Washingtonians know where you stand. - NB

Quoting:

Washington State GOP - @WAGOP - 2h

A map from The Antagonist Magazine, originally from ICE, showing dots where local and state agencies are working with them as 287(g) participating agencies on their ethnic purge. There are 1154 agreements, represented by probably fewer dots.

There are no dots in Cascadia.

A Sanders Lauture on Bluesky posting an edit of the famous 1948 "THAT AIN'T HOW I HEARD IT" photograph of victorious presidential candidate Harry Truman holding up a newspaper headlined DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN, printed before late ballots reversed the count. In this case, Lauture pasted Wilson's head over Truman's and the errant, early Decision Desk call proclaiming Harrell the winner of the Seattle mayoral election over the infamous DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN newspaper headline.
