We can increase housing supply in this state in a way that leads to mixed-income, diverse neighborhoods, with greater walkability and access to local services, without changing the character of our neighborhoods.

A graphic showing that out-of-nowhere candidate Will Dreher has a sheer wall of red (employed by AI firms) and yellow (out of state campaign donors). Difficult to even find a few small blue circles of more organic donors. Almost all the donations also all occur in just a few singular days. In contrast, Ron Davis donor patterns are more grassroots: nearly all in state donors, a few donations per day

Wed, May 13 hi can u help me with local intell. i met Russell, Will Dreher's campaign manager. i asked him why will is better/diff than Ron. he said Ron is too corporate, having sold his company for hundreds of millions of dollars and previously took business money in his last campaign. when i pressed for policy differences, he said that Will is pushing for Al regulation and financial literacy funding (which at $600k will apparently "break the cycle of generational poverty").

"You would deny my 90 year old aunt a lovely Sunday drive around the lake that she so fondly remembers from her child rearing days? You would deny me, over 60, drivable access to the lake that RAISED me? I don't bike, it's more than a HIKE for me (uphill) and it's directly over the hill from my home. I've played, cried, meditated, drove and walked this lake my entire life. Who ARE these people who believe it's OK to limit access to the boulevard to select groups? ... ONE WAY? Who does that serve at the expense of south end residents?

This is why Nurgle embraces decay as a weapon, as a tool, and as a means of instructing and guiding his followers. Decay is at the core of Nurgle's philosophy and methods. Blessed with reshaped forms and renewed purpose, the minions of Nurgle become his instruments in his ultimate purpose, the "Great Corruption" and ultimate reshaping of the universe. As vessels and embodiments of decay, mortals and Daemons alike are effectively living fuel, powering the great cycle through their actions and, indeed, their simple rotting, infectious presence in the Realm of Chaos and on the mortal plane.

The 15-minute walksheds of both 148th and 130th stations are severely limited by the 18-hole "Jackson" Park golf course. Opening the 18-hole course to the public and adding accessible through paths would: • Allow many more people to walk, roll, and bike to both stations • Create more pleasant routes to both stations, safe and away from loud, polluting high-speed vehicles 148th St Station 148th

D R A W T H E M A P B O L D L Y : T R A N S I T C O R R I D O R S Seattle's climate goals depend on allowing more people to live near transit. Residents who can walk to a frequent, convenient bus drive less, own fewer cars, and spend less on transportation. When the city fails to add housing in these areas, growth is pushed to the suburban fringe, locking in long commutes and car dependence. However, the Centers + Corridors draft takes a narrow approach to allowing more housing in transit corridors. It only rezones the parcels directly on arterials, restricting new transit- oriented housing to Seattle's noisiest, most polluted streets. We're asking the Council to go further: rezone the full five-minute walkshed around frequent bus stops to lowrise 2 zoning. Building homes on side streets near transit gives people the opportunity to live in quiet, low-pollution, and car-light neighborhoods. More people near transit. Better streets to live on. The EIS studied this approach. The Council should adopt it.
"What is the current version?" Two maps side by side, one with 5 minute walksheds around all the roads labeled "what city planners studied & what could've been (still note enough)" and another with very thin lines labelled "current proposal w/ corridors reduced to 1-lot wide!!". An arrow says NIMBY ROLLBACKS.

NEWS FROM THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION FACT SHEET: FCC Updates Covered List to Include Foreign-Made Consumer Routers, Prohibiting Approval of New Models Update Follows Determination by Executive Branch Agencies that Consumer-Grade Routers Produced in Foreign Countries Threaten National Security WASHINGTON, March 23, 2026 —Today, the Federal Communications Commission updated its Covered List to include all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries. Routers are the boxes in every home that connect computers, phones, and smart devices to the internet. This followed a determination by a White House-convened Executive Branch interagency body with appropriate national security expertise that such routers "pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or the safety and security of United States persons." The Executive Branch determination noted that foreign-produced routers (1) introduce "a supply chain vulnerability that could disrupt the U.S. economy, critical infrastructure, and national defense" and (2) pose "a severe cybersecurity risk that could be leveraged to immediately and severely disrupt U.S. critical infrastructure and directly harm U.S. persons." President Trump's 2025 National Security Strategy stated: "the United States must never be dependent on any outside power for core components-from raw materials to parts to finished products—necessary to the nation's defense or economy. We must re-secure our own independent and reliable access to the goods we need to defend ourselves and preserve our way of life."
