Right, it's just that in the pamphlet the opposition to renewing the levy claim that the renewal would make the roads/sidewalks/bridges worse

Hold on to your wallets, Seattle. As civic leaders free from politics, we urge neighbors to vote No on this terrible transportation tax. Why should you pay the largest tax in city history, when it leaves bridges, streets, and sidewalks in dangerous disrepair while worsening traffic congestion?

Let me know if this is against the rules, if so I'll remove the post.

I read in the voter pamphlet the proponents take and opponents take on the renewal, but something didn't add up. Opponents mentioned that this levy would make our sidewalks, roads and bridges worse, but in the budget allocation there's funds for fixing sidewalks roads and bridges.

What am I missing here?

Out of curiosity, is that a public group? If so, how does one join it?

I wish I could pinpoint where it came from. If it was my immediate neighbor I'd ask if it's ok to extinguish it at some point at night.

Could also be from improper use of the fireplace, who knows

I do appreciated that this truck can actually be used as a truck (as opposed to the modern ones).

The only reason I posted this is just because of the parking spot, it was just funny to see "compact" and ⅓ of it sticking out blocking the passage behind it.

Komonews now apparently does this crap where it needs to "process" your cookie opt-out, at least on mobile.

Any alternative news sources you'd recommend to follow? Just for stuff like weather or big events.

If you're unfamiliar with this tactic, when you click "opt-out" the webpage basically displays this widget with a loading bar saying it needs to "process" your request. When in reality you're asking them to simply not use cookies, so it's saving the web browser time by not installing any cookies.

 

Any recommendations on tracking road closures and big events in SODO to avoid traffic?
