This is going to be a super fun irl event and I encourage you to attend if you want to meet some Seattle Twitter yimby people irl.

This is what the U District should look like *right now* and exactly how we should be planning the areas around our new light rail stations, but instead we’re putting stations next to highways and single family houses.

Seattle's numbers of hours at or above 70 F through May 29th over the past few years: 2015: 77 2016: 144 2017: 85 2018: 107 2019: 103 2020: 85 2021: 80 and, (drum roll), 2022: 5 #wawx

Reading through Elizabeth Warren’s policy website just to feel something

We need the state to act on housing, and to do so we need housing champions. We're lucky to have one running in @Hadeelfor46! If you can, give her some $. Interested in endorsing? Can volunteer time? Do those, or just follow and get to know her🚄🛖🚲 hadeelfor46.com

I just donated! Please consider donating if you're able!

Don’t forget to donate to Hadeel if you want real housing reform! We need more YIMBYs in Olympia bit.ly/hadeelfor46

Seattle cops are delaying or failing to take reports from people who show up to Harborview Medical Center to report a rape, Lewis Kamb reports. This is in addition to what @kuow/ The Seattle Times reported Wed. about many investigations not being pursued. axios.com/local/seattle/…

Gerry Pollet has been a disaster for the 46th LD. Just this year he killed the missing middle bill that would’ve gone far to address the housing crisis Lets send @Hadeelfor46 to Olympia instead of Pollet ⬇️Volunteer⬇️ forms.gle/69BEFsvWqU4ZuT… ⬇️Donate⬇️ bit.ly/hadeelfor46

TW: SA The way our society treats survivors of rape is horrendous. It took more than a year for someone to get back to me after I reported my rape. It was horrible just waiting. I felt completely helpless and ignored. Now Seattle won’t even investigate new rapes??? Wtf

How illegal would it be to spam false reports? Basically make the tool useless cause of all the wrong reports

It’s so beautiful

Big news: Sierra Club Washington State is hiring a transportation and housing organizer! If you're a big zoning reform nerd or passionate about clean and equitable transportation policy, this might be for you! (Too bad I don't know any zoning nerds...) Apply here: phf.tbe.taleo.net/phf01/ats/care…

I’ve posted this before but Seattle could really use a centralized Yimby org right now — one that is singularly focused on rezones. Well funded & staffed up. We need this for the comp plan work desperately. -LL
