SpaceNoodle , in Link Light Rail Lynnwood extension opens August 30

For reals this time

mosiacmango ,

Initially it was an ambiguous “Fall 2024” which i took to mean shooting to open before Thanksgiving at best.

Aug 30 is a solid improvement, as is maintaining the 8 min train time table even without the barn across the impassable sea.

It’s happening!

They took down the draft copy that mentions January 6th but the internet does not forget and it was screenshotted.

OlinOfTheHillPeople ,

What did it say?

SeaJ OP ,

@ercicacbarnett on Twitter has a screenshot of it but Twitter does not sort chronologically for non users anymore so I can’t easily link it. So I’ll type out the important parts of the screenshot.

Article 6 - Salaries

6.1 Salaries shall be in accordance with the following schedule:

A. Effective December 31 January 6 2014 2021, the base wage rates…

So they amended the previous version to be starting on January 6th, 2021.

mosiacmango ,

Wasent SPD notable for having the most Jan 6 participants of any precinct in the country?

I think they had like 6 cops either at the rally or breaching the capitol.

I wonder if this is a little “wink wink” to that as a funny little joke.

Wouldn't be surprised...

I have a feeling this isn't going to go well.

Acronychal , in Seattle driver runs over tents on downtown sidewalk

If people are out shooting in public, witnesses should want to come forward to talk to the cops. Kinda weird.

PM_ME_YOUR_SNDCLOUD ,

Think about it like this:

  • The shooters are gone and MIGHT come back.
  • The cops are there now and being homeless ain’t exactly something that cops look kindly on.

I can understand why they wouldn’t want to speak to cops; they might end up being the ones arrested or worse.

Catoblepas , in Seattle driver runs over tents on downtown sidewalk

Officers pursued the Seattle driver but abandoned the chase when they learned the tents were empty and no one was injured.

Useless fucks.

originalfrozenbanana ,

Surprised they didn’t care more about the property damage than the attempted murder

holycrap ,

They only care if it's rich peoples property

burrito ,

Seattle used to be pretty great. I don't care for it much these days.

SeaJ ,

Yeah, what the fuck? The person was only looking to run people over but failed so might as well give up going after him? I'm surprised they didn't find him to try and give him a job.

And we have a city council that wants to remove "the red tape" from the hiring process. What a joke.

    I'd be curious what the rationale is for publishers charging libraries more for digital copies than they do for print.

    davidgro ,

    Because they can.

    Great to see we have so many readers in our area.

    Shitty to see publishers price gouging, but not unexpected in a capitalist hellscape.

    SeaJ ,

    Seriously. They are charging more for an ebook than an audiobook. That is batshit.

    themachine , in Hundreds of WA students walk off campuses to protest U.S. aid to Israel

    Excellent use of tuition money.

    nac82 , (edited )

    What a fucking pathetic response lmao.

    You needed to attend every class to pass college? What are you, some kind of idiot?

    People pay tuition for the opportunity to earn college credits and a degree, not to participate in kindergarten attendance.

    Sunforged ,

    You're right, but probably not in the way you intended. Better use of tuition money than tax dollars funding genocide.

    mosiacmango ,

    Man, imagine thinking that protesting and civic discourse is something you shouldn't be doing in a institute of higher learning.

    Dude thinks college is about getting golden check marks instead of learning how to engage with and improve society.

    brotkel , in Digital reading soars in Seattle, creating problems for local libraries [KUOW]

    I wonder how much it affects libraries that I can also walk a block in any direction and find a Little Free Library in one of my neighbor’s front yards. These certainly don’t replace the need for libraries, but I’d also have to pass up a lot of free books on my way to the library if I ever ran out of reading material.

    SeaJ ,

    Honestly, I doubt those affect things very much. I think I have seen decent stuff maybe once or if every 20 times I walk by a little free library. I am generally looking for a specific book when going to the library or getting an ebook from there.

    And there was no punishment.
