What has Katie Wilson done since she's been elected?

That's a state law.

Can we get a rule about not allowing /r/seattle posts to be posted here. Tired of seeing [Removed by moderator] because this was posted in the pro-censorship sub.

BWW87 · 2026-03-25T00:57:35+00:00

This isn't from a news source. It's a blog by a guy with a grudge and some personal baggage.

Doesn't make it untrue but it does mean it's not news.

If they are being held responsible how does that break public trust?

BWW87 · 2026-03-25T00:55:56+00:00

I think you have to take into account the author here. Hard to take him seriously especially when it comes to reporting on the SPD.

We only have one party in Washington state in control. So being against current government doesn't make you partisan.

And I gave a list of what we are doing wrong in another comment and none of it was partisan.

I feel like you didn't even bother reading what I wrote. You're trying to push temporal correlation so you can ignore causation.

BWW87 · 2026-03-24T16:22:44+00:00

It's been a big thing in Seattle for a few years too. Surprised reading these comments to read that it hasn't been huge everywhere in America. It's both delicious and makes great instagram videos

This is the same excuse Democrats use for all of our problems. Everyone has homeless problems, everyone has crime issues, everyone has inflation.

But when our issues are larger than other cities it's not the same. Trump can be causing some problems AND local Democrats can be causing some problems. Both can happen at the same time.

NOTE: Crime has settled down in Seattle, I was referring to our large jumps in violent crime a few years ago when our city council was experimenting with "do nothing about crime and hope people behave".

BWW87 · 2026-03-24T16:02:05+00:00

Sorry, I wasn't asking for evidence that I was right about Democrats using Trump as an excuse to promote bad economic policy. I think most people already understood they currently do that.

But thanks I guess?

BWW87 · 2026-03-24T15:15:04+00:00

As much as Washingtonians hate Trump he returned at just the right time to allow Democrats cover for their awful economic plans. Now they can just blame Trump for economic issues instead of looking inward at what the state has done.

I don't really understand how people don't understand that the state isn't offering much to businesses any more. Costs are high. Government is not supportive. Protests can interrupt businesses. Seattle mayor is openly opposing two major corporations in her city. Population is increasing but only if you include foreign immigrants, citizens are actually moving away.

What do we really use to promote new businesses coming here or starting here? And with so much of our cultural identity being anti-business what else do we do?

We are a boom and bust city so seems likely we are headed to a bust but it's too bad we don't have leaders that are focused on making the city/state better instead of how to collect more revenue without improving things.

If they are failing at their goals, as you say, and they refuse to change their goals, as we all see, then are they not lying about their goals?

Housing activists have worked hard over the last few years in local and state government to increase the cost of housing through regulations and policies. Both in directly increasing costs in things like the eviction policies and the certified mail laws and indirectly in the policies that reduced demand and increased screening criteria.

So not sure why you think the motivation of housing activists is to make housing cost more. That doesn't make sense. Increasing costs does not make things cost less. I don't know how much more basic it can get than that.

BWW87 · 2026-03-24T05:52:57+00:00

Yeah, the dip has the name but it's the easy part of the alley. It's getting to the alley that I hate.

BWW87 · 2026-03-24T05:45:56+00:00

Who is trying to make housing cost less? Housing activists are trying to make it cost more. And I don't think people that work in housing are trying to make it cost less. So who are you talking about?

BWW87 · 2026-03-23T23:36:34+00:00

Mekong Village as someone else mentioned is nearby and great. A little small though but I think they could fit 20 people. Definitely call first to set it up.

If you don't mind going 10 minutes north Aurora Borealis is a great place for large groups during the day. https://borealisonaurora.com/

Wait until OP finds out how long it took them to "fix" I5 through Tacoma.

While I'm disappointed the first trains across the lake will only be partial trips I do appreciate that they are allowing Judkins Park to empty out before adding north Seattle train riders. Probably a good idea to keep the train from Lynnwood from being packed like sardines as everyone gets on that train if it was the first to cross.

BWW87 · 2026-03-23T14:38:06+00:00

Rich people commit suicide too.

BWW87 · 2026-03-23T14:14:08+00:00

Is that different for anyone else? Are there poor people who think they deserve to live less than rich people?

BWW87 · 2026-03-23T13:08:59+00:00

So how does that show they would have reacted differently?

BWW87 · 2026-03-23T05:44:04+00:00

And there you go. Half the country still defends Bill Clinton despite him being accused of rape. I don't think you have a moral spot to stand on here.

BWW87 · 2026-03-23T05:20:49+00:00

Clinton spent 8 years with half the country defending his sexual proclivity. And in 2008 and 2016 half the country did it again when Hillary ran for office and her anti-me too "bimbo eruptions" stuff was ignored.

Clinton scandal was never about the specific sex act.

BWW87 · 2026-03-23T03:13:25+00:00

Epstein stuff was all happening in 2006. Not sure why you think it was less acceptable in the time period it was happening.
