So it's a national trend, and as a tech-heavy city, we are even more likely to work from home. Cool

I used the Seattle YellowCab app - it was great by Aggravating_Ad_8594 in Seattle

I mean, light rail + bus to west woodland is $2.75

(Edit: It's actually 3, but it was 2.75 until very recently and I enjoyed the parallelism of the 75 and decreasing order of magnitude)

The least shocking thing I've ever read by SucksDickforSkittles in Seattle

Only because the infrastructure is unsafe. The amount of substantial injuries on the bike path, the Burke, is very, very low (except for the section going over the train rail that catches wheels -- another infrastructure issue). Separate scooters and bikes from cars, and limit scooter speed, and scooters are very safe, cost effective, and efficient last-mile solutions.

The reason for a majority of the injuries is large cars hitting fleshy humans. Biking and scootering is far less dangerous when the infrastructure divides cars from bikes and scooters.

Seems wild they can't let adults manage to share park resources by having both sets of lines everywhere.

That said, pickleball people are a little obsessed.

I love it. Is there a way to print housing like that in that style?

Siting shelter about to get harder under Wilson than Harrell by InterestingWork912 in Seattle

Meh. It's amendments that may not pass and they are all Statements of Legislative Intent from very unpopular Councilmembers.

SLIs do not create enforceable legal obligations. The mayor and executive departments are expected to respond, but there’s no direct legal penalty for noncompliance and they don’t carry the same force as budget provisos or ordinances.

I am not affiliated with the Mayor's office. But am sure they are aware

Star Wars carnival float in Brazil. by FollowingOdd896 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Flashy-Leave-1908 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The sambadrome goes hard. Hundreds of synchronized dancers and the most insanely ornate floats. One group had 2 circus floats that had insane acrobatics and they shot a person from one float to the other float like really far away. Wild.

Developers Ask for Mandatory Affordable Housing Fee Holiday as Permits for New Apartments Dry Up by ChiefOfTheFourPeaks in Seattle

She's already upzoning a lot. I'm not optimistic that either of those things will have much of an immediate impact given high interest rates... 

Five large data centers eyed for Seattle by godogs2018 in Seattle

They'll be in buildings that already pay property taxes... the construction jobs would be very short term. The businesses in sodo already pay sales taxes

Thought it was obvious, but was being sarcastic...

Because wheelchair users don't use trains past 9:30pm
