Amazing news!!!! See you on the trains, kids!
YOUTH RIDE FREE IN WASHINGTON STATE
Passengers aged 18 and under now ride free on Amtrak Cascades trains in Washington. We’re hoping to inspire an entire generation to consider trains as a great choice when traveling along the I-5 corridor. Learn more. wsdot.wa.gov/about/news/2024…
Hiding inside article on @CityofSeattle plan to boost office to housing conversions? Mayor’s ask to weaken mandatory housing affordability. In the most expensive real estate market in the state, developers can afford these modest requirements.

There are lots of ways cities can make it less expensive for developers to build — for example thinking critically about fees — without killing the future of mixed income communities. I’m expressing concerns to the Council and hope to discuss with the Mayor’s team soon. #waleg

I heard some stunning facts at the Sound Transit rider experience committee today.
The tiny 4 mile stretch of Light Rail through South Seattle contributes to the literal majority of pedestrian and traffic safety incidents throughout the whole system. This includes 11 fatalities
Please join me for a town hall focusing on the pedestrian & traffic safety issues caused by the light rail’s surface level path along MLK Way.
I’ve invited special guests from @SoundTransit, @SDOTtraffic, and @CMTammyMorales.
Space is limited. RSVP [email protected]

“Advocates will also have the opportunity to fight for a more ambitious plan during the City’s public engagement campaign in March & April. The City will conduct more community outreach in the second half of the year & then pass a final comprehensive plan by the end of the year.”
Oh great, Bruce Harrell's new housing growth plan only gives us half the housing we need. thestranger.com/news/2024/03…
Pretty disappointed with what I'm seeing so far in the @CityofSeattle comprehensive plan and expressing those concerns to City reps. The largest city in the state should be maximizing the use of the tools #waleg is providing them, not doing the minimum. theurbanist.org/2024/03/05/s…

Today is #NationalTakeAHikeDay ⛰️
No car? No problem. Use your ORCA card and take transit to the great outdoors.
Here are some Seattle area options:
🌲 Carkeek Park (@KingCountyMetro 28, 40, D Line)
🌲 Discovery Park (Metro 19, 24, 33)
🌲 Westcrest Park (Metro 131, 60)
ALT Boop is on a bridge in the woods holding an ORCA card and wearing a blue hat. Text reads "November 17, National Take A Hike Day".
