Last night’s results were loud and clear: The people of the 43rd LD want a Washington State Legislature that shows up for them as much as we’ve shown up for ourselves these last four years. Late ballots will settle in the coming days. Prep for the general election begins today.

If you were trying to think of policies to increase homelessness, you could hardly do better than this Council’s priorities. Cut the minimum wage for both employees and gig workers, help landlords evict folks easier, and push the social housing funding off the Nov ballot.

INBOX: Raise the Wage Burien has submitted 6,000 signatures to put an initiative on the February 2025 ballot to raise the city's minimum wage to more than $20 an hour. They aim to replicate the successes in Tukwila and Renton, which have the highest minimums in the nation.

HON- Yes on I-137! Fund social housing🏘️🌲 (@houserneighbors) 's Twitter Profile Photo

A social housing developer offers a way to maintain housing production even as private investment dries up & the low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC) that nonprofit builders rely on become more scarce and less able to cover project budgets.

There was supposed to be a tenant work group to investigate creation of an office that would get justice for renters like OLS gets justice for workers but Mayor Bruce Harrell is still withholding the funds approved in last year's budget

I've heard from a bunch of people that many residents *and* local businesses on Summit are thrilled that bus service is returning. Warms my heart! Now to get Summit served the whole time the 3 is running. (If you love this, join Transit Riders Union for more!) x.com/oowm/status/18…
