I decided it was kind of rude to cut off discovery park so I widened the workspace to put it back on
and that also gave me the space to add back the west seattle bridge detail so I did that too
and a little cleanup why not
anyway it's 722x656mm or roughly 28.5"x26" now at intended print resolution (300 dpi because that's a standard here)
I really think and hope I'm done with this version, now that I know this thing has legs I'm kinda like "whelp now time to do it over again with proper tools" so that maintenance will be easier and alignment won't be such a bear and a half
“…this #conservative campaign is not limited to #Portland—it’s a national trend that’s become particularly prevalent on the #WestCoast, as conservatives have infiltrated and are attempting to overthrow liberal strongholds in #Seattle and San Francisco as well.”
It’s important we keep talking about who isn’t served when we only build for car-dependency. Glad to see the needs on nondrivers highlighted in this piece about the upcoming #Seattle transportation levy.

So anybody know what the hell all that was? Like 50 big POWs some but not all of which lit up the sky? All the early ones pretty regularly spaced like on a BOOM-two-three beat then the last few in clusters?
Here, have the quickly-made MEGAMAP 1, a combination of the new Greater Northshore Connector Bike Map, most of the City of Seattle 2023 Bike Map, and the April 2024 2 Line Connector Eastside Bike Map.
It is NOT SMALL. Printed at native 300dpi, it's right about 26" square, or 660mm square.
1/2 Did route-testing on Eastside, & I saw that the Mercer Slough Trail has finally reopened! Now, there’s easy access to the South Bellevue light rail station from the I-90/Mountains to Sound Trail without needing to detour through a neighborhood. Quick tip: follow the asphalt #SEAbikes#Seattle#Bellevue#BikeTooter#BikeTransit#PNW

Release 1 of the Greater Northshore Bike Map is NOW! Full res version is downloadable, it's like 600mm/24" wide printed at 300dpi and connects the Seattle and 2 Line Connector Eastside bike maps.
In 1997, Seattle voters approved a monorail transit system to be built across the city. Beginning as a cab driver’s dream and growing into a major civic project, this was on track to become one of the largest systems of its kind in the world. But shortly before breaking ground in 2005, the project collapsed in on itself. This documentary tells the story of how Seattle ended up in this unusual position, and why the city’s dream never got off the ground.
a couple of updates and fixes have been made at the data center and the bunnies have had their greens. thank you being on this instance and supporting each other! #fediverse#community#seattle#ff#followfriday
presumably this has an owner going to get help but if it’s stolen is anyone in #seattle missing this bike? it was left trailside with no note. front tyre is off.
I am a very proud parent right now because my kiddo biked herself with me riding nearby to school, locked it herself and then when I came to pickup she wanted to pick the route home — and she picked a decent one and knew where she was going just fine. I wish there were actual bike lanes or trails for more of it because people in cars sometimes behave poorly, but she’s pretty smart and has been walking to/from school fine for a bit. #SeaBikes#bikes
Ironically when she gets to middle school the most direct bike friendly route is much much less hazardous even though it’s three times further away. But that’s #Seattle bike infrastructure and “planning” for you!
US folks, we have an e. coli recall on organic walnuts sold in bulk bins or repackaged in-store (plastic clamshells, etc.)—recs are to throw them out and wash containers and contacted surfaces:
I finally made the trek to meet Bruunidun. She’s a #ThomasDambo giant #troll making her home next to Puget Sound in Lincoln Park in West Seattle. Idun is playing a troll sized flute to call home native #Orcas.
