It's funny, i have anxiety, an actual anxiety disorder and sometimes appointments especially when i have to take a bus kinda' make me anxious because i worry about arriving on time.

It's all working out, i used Google Maps but King County's OneBusAway right now is experiencing issues and can't bring up route info or where buses are and if they are on time.

I have an interview for the place i'm likely moving into this afternoon..

Perfect timing OneBusAway! Thanks.

Hi, this is the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7-Day did get updated this week, after not having been updated last week. It's pretty low. Last data calculated on 11/4.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

The Seattle Times: "Wilson took a 1,976-vote lead over Bruce Harrell. With a maximum of 1,320 ballots remaining, it is mathematically impossible for Harrell to catch up."

That said! you can still cure your ballot if it's been challenged.

King County Elections

Led by Director Julie Wise, King County Elections conducts accurate, secure, and accessible elections for King County's over 1.4 million registered voters.

There are a couple of races in King County which _may_ still be in contention depending upon how many votes come in (but it's unlikely), and one race in King County which is LITERALLY TIED.

Our newly elected King County Executive, Girmay Zahilay, outlines action the County can take in response to federal cuts to SNAP. I posted a comment to the post about expanding public health department.
