For those that might not know, the Needling is satire:

I love that you felt the need to point that out.

More like "How Martin Selig Destroyed the Monorail"...

Inucune , in How Seattle Rejected the Monorail

I find it hard to believe that a monorail has any benefit a standard rail line doesn't offer. Light rail can be designed for passenger only, or have restricted freight.

I laughed when the original pan advertised being able to hit 60 mph. I remember the push to get it to Ballard back in the early 2000s. I knew it would not be going anywhere.

Ask the people of Vancouver, BC ... they've had a 50-mile 'Skytrain' since 1985. The 2023 ridership was 141 Million.

Oh, look, another industry forcing instant roll-backs of new laws by hurting the consumers to "prove" the law is "harmful".

SeaJ OP , in Seattle Floats Scaling Back Energy Code Changes to Cut Housing Costs

Can't do an initiative to ease height limits for affordable housing. Best we can do is make climate policy worse than it already is.

There’s quite a crowd of eager aurora watchers at Carkeek Beach at 10:30, but no light show yet.

How the hell. I'm in Seattle and watched it and it was so faint, barely visible at all. You wouldn't have even noticed it if you weren't looking for it.

Surprisingly, even mid-tier phone cameras can take amazing pictures when the naked eye can barely see anything. To me, it looked like barely visible wispy gray-green clouds, but the pictures on my phone are far more vibrant.

Also posting this: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast

It shows the space weather forecast. I think it was G4 last night.

Amazing. I'm down in Portland and a buddy reported seeing it here as well. Gonna try tonight.
