"the initiative would give police power to arrest people who fall asleep in public"
So there's a fucked up ballot initiative coming that wants to make existing at all as a homeless person a jail-able offense.
It's sponsored by non-other than the Seattle police union (aka SPOG) and is a power grab to give useless cops an easy way to pack prisons.
Don't sign this bullshit initiative.

"I mean, I vote. What else could I do?" Well, <looks pointedly at example of something else someone did, seen at Greenlake>
# Mayor Bruce Harrell’s office appears to have deleted or is withholding a contract used to make a crucial legal decision regarding the Mayor’s newly-minted Chief of Staff, Andrew Myerberg. Harrell’s office appears to be violating the terms of the settlement agreement reached with the Seattle Times in 2023 over the widespread deletion of text messages in the Durkan administration.
Looks like we get _three_ per-precinct data drops for the August 2025 primary election in King County, WA:
1. Election night data, by 4 pm this Friday
2. “Mid-election”, counting data collected by the Friday after Election Day, dropping by 4 pm on Wed 8/13
3. Final data, by 4 pm on 8/20
I’ve never seen a mid-election drop in the ~6 years I’ve been making maps. Wonder why they made the change.
Lmao the Seattle Times editorial clowns continue to be out of touch 🤡
(they also *didn't* endorse Alexis Mercedes Rinck, the best councilmember we currently have, and *did* endorse Sara Nelson)
Instead of telling ICE to stop hiding their identity, Seattle city council is working on fining graffiti artists.

Yay, glad to see this momentum so far- c'mon, Katie!
Eight candidates filed for Mayor of Seattle during Filing Week 2025. Of the field, only incumbent Bruce Harrell and challenger Katie Wilson of the Transit Riders Union have raised six-figure sums for their campaigns so far. NPI and its pollster simulated a hypothetical general election matchup between the two and found Wilson at 36%, Harrell at 33%, and 30% not sure.
