Now, like @spokanerising.com on Bluesky, I have seen enough. Lisa Brown will be Spokane’s next mayor. Lisa extended her margin today and Nads would need to win a crazy percent of the 7Kish ballots that remain. That won’t happen. It is over. Congrats to Lisa and her badass team.

Lisa Brown's lead over incumbent Mayor Nadine Woodward grew substantially tonight. Ahead of Woodward by 2,764 votes, up from 1,577 on election night.

We're calling it: Lisa Brown will be the next mayor of Spokane.

Lluís Juncà A key sign of a livable city are plenty of playgrounds. A bonus is seeing busy playgrounds at night! Part of Barcelona’s Plaça de les Glòries major urban regeneration area called “22@”, one of Europe’s largest. That’s Jean Nouvel’s tower in the background. Our boys loved it!

Can’t wait to get to work with this dynamite team of public servants!

JD Vance has pledged he would do what Mike Pence wouldn’t - overturn an election and illegally seize power. He says the president can ignore the rulings of our courts. He would capitulate to Russia and sacrifice the freedom of our allies in Ukraine. The Trump GOP is no longer the

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via Streetsblog USA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…

We appreciate Kōz and look forward to more “middle housing” downtown! “The individuals that we’ve worked with at the city …have been phenomenal,” “We feel fortunate to work with a city that is as progressive and business friendly as Spokane has been.” spokesman.com/stories/2024/s…
