Drusas , in Get ready to garden with the Great Seattle Seed Swap - Phinney Wood

Damn, I didn't see this until today. I've got so many seeds that I should share with people instead of continuing to amass.

Years ago there were community gardens around the Seattle area. Are they still there?

There’s one right down the street from where I live and I’ve driven past at least 3 others.

Rayspekt , in SPD officers suspended after waiting 20 minutes to respond to shooting

That headline hit different as a German. SPD officers? Shootings?

BossDj ,

SPD is Seattle Police Department

Seattle is a big city. Big cities here have shootings. People shoot each other. It’s fucked

Rayspekt ,

Yeah I figured after reading. It's just that SPD is also an acronym for Germany's ruling party.

BossDj ,

Oh got it! That would make for a very different article

mojofrododojo , in Seattle takes public feedback ahead of surveillance systems purchases for crime fighting

I don’t care if they install shot-spotter or not, it’s not like SPD is gonna fucking protect the public. There are shootings ALL AROUND spd south precinct and they rarely if ever respond.

Drusas , in SPD official sues department, alleging gender discrimination from chief

That's our local PD, folks. Seattle Police Department currently trying to get out of a consent decree that they even acknowledge they haven't met the requirements of.

Largely because of lack of accountability.

I was wondering why NYC wasn’t included in the list, then I saw this

New York was not included in this longitudinal study because the high number of cyclists and lanes would have overwhelmed their models

😂

Whenever I biked around Brooklyn I definitely felt safer in the protected bike lanes. I’ve always assumed that the people that bike around in Manhattan, especially Midtown, have a death wish. Biking down the narrow and packed streets in Park Slope was enough for me, biking down 5th Ave during rush hour was about as good as walking.

dhcmrlchtdj__ OP , in “Nightmare Tenant” Story Amplified by Seattle Times Crumbles Under Scrutiny

As always, great reporting from PubliCola.

62% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, homelessness rates continue to rise in Seattle, yet the Times continually choses to eschew reality and side with the conservative minority in the city.

Sunforged ,

That’s cuz the Times is a union busting rat rag.

Same as it ever was.

lolcatnip ,

Source? I tried searching and nothing relevant turned up.

Sunforged ,

During the 7 week strike in 2001 the Times fired striking workers and hired scabs “permanently”. Part of the final deal was to rehire union members and let go of the scabs. But they quickly downsized in the following year, this was really the start of them utilizing syndicated reports instead of having a robust journalism team.

But the Times has always been against labor. It’s not a unique ideology amongst our current media landscape but good God is it tiresome.
