Hello, The National Weather Service has issued a FLOOD WATCH for portions of northwest Washington, including all of King County, that will be in effect Wednesday afternoon through Friday afternoon. Flooding caused by excessive rainfall and heavy snow levels/snowmelt runoff may be possible, resulting in the flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Residents of flood-prone areas, or who transit these areas, should monitor forecasts, prepare for further Flood Warnings, and prepare to take action should flooding develop.

Thank you, Kevin Lowery

Thanks, I hate it!

I’m hoping it’s an art piece in which case I still hate it, but less.

Burke-Gilman is going to be closed for up to five days in Kenmore between 61st Ave NE and 65th Ave NE starting February 16th. It's probably hillside reinforcement.

People on bikes can detour onto 175th, which runs in parallel. It's low-traffic, but what traffic is there includes heavy industrial from the cement plant.

Since there are no sidewalks on 175th - at all - people on foot are advised to go uphill to Bothell Way. Despite some business driveways, that length of sidewalk is perfectly reasonable, and next to a bus lane rather than full traffic. However, the climb up from 61st is very steep and is _NOT_ ADA-compliant.

Activists Assemble: A Festival of Activism -and- Community Food Drive

Sunday, January 25, 10 am–2 pm
Shorewood High School Shoreline
Free

Bring all your friends

You’ve marched, you’ve chanted, you’ve made signs... Now what? Activists Assemble has an answer, covering next steps during the Festival of Activism. It’s a day of celebration and ideation focused around converting momentary outrage into sustained local action. Bringing together advocacy groups, experts, and neighbors for panel discussions on health and wellness, immigration, and housing, the single-day event pairs hands-on activities like voter registration and gun safety education with live music, dancing, and a strong “everyone’s welcome” ethos (especially those new to advocacy).
