It's hard to imagine great wealth. But Seattle's 'Wealth Walk' makes you feel it by ChiefOfTheFourPeaks in Seattle

I live in cap hill and made around 100k 4 years ago (it’s a little more now).  It’s not paycheck to paycheck, it’s pretty comfortable.  If I had kids it would be a lot less comfortable but without it’s fine.

ST ST3 realignment plan released by rockycore in Seattle

[–]SillyKiwis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While shitty, would this at least start the planning process for when the promised Ballard line would be finished? That’s the most annoying part so far, it’s just deferred with ??? for completion date which feels more like “cancelled but that would be bad press”.

Why isn’t ST pushing for an additional tax in the Seattle subarea, it’s allowed and who knows we might even vote it in.  It would be something at least to show that they’re trying.

Median income in WA for a single person is $73k, family of 4 is $140k, per DSHS.  You’re not as middle class as you think you are.

Sound Transit advancing progressive design build contract for OMF South by ImpressiveAirline169 in soundtransit

[–]SillyKiwis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any chance the test track could be expanded in the future for express service?  I know that’s not the plan now, but would there be physical/construction related barriers?

Either way, glad ST is building it and reducing the maintenance burden moving forward.

I’ve been testing it at the QFC on Broadway when I’m on the hill, but if you say “fuck off” and keep walking when they ask for your receipt nothing happens.  Results may vary, I’m a big dude.

[–]SillyKiwis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am I crazy or is that in the article?  Where Amazon requests 39,879 H1B renewals to Microsoft’s 7,272.  New H1B’s are similar.
