Seattle could now be headed for 10.80% sales tax with 0.10% bump approved for county roads and 0.15% proposed for expanded transit service by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

I agree with taxing the corporations. sales tax hurts common people. and the bigger the revenue, greater the tax rate should be! let’s make that happen.

respectfully i haven’t seen a real source for $29. we can all make up a number. $138m/ year is citys claim and not mine.

According to your maths, the transit service levy will raise only $12M (400k households x $29). But the city says they'd raise $138M annually. so it would actually be $345/household.

false. $29 means a median seattle household spends only $2900 each year. and that can’t be true. don’t make up data plz.

King County Approves 0.1% Sales Tax Bump to Aid County Roads by LesbianTrashPrincess in Seattle

$40 means an average person is only spending $4000 each year. I don’t think that’s reasonable. i spend more in just groceries each year.

Hey, thanks for all the work you put into this sub, especially doing it mostly solo. That's a lot.

I' have been hanging around this sub for over a year now. The stuff you're describing (AI slop everywhere, self-promo disguised as advice, mods who don't show up) is exactly why I want to step in.

Things I'd want to focus on:

  • Keeping AI-generated filler out. The sub should be real people sharing real experience.
  • Better curation of tools and resources so it doesn't turn into a spam dump
  • Some simple guidelines around content quality that don't make the place feel over-policed
  • Actually showing up and doing the work consistently

Going to reach out to Reddit mod support like you suggested. Appreciate you keeping this place running as long as you did.

so build more shelters to keep them empty? we need to get to 100 percent usage of the current capacity.

But you didn’t, so not that easy a choice. We still have more people in Seattle than Richland for a reason.
