>What's the difference between the amenities of the beautiful new building (and from the outside, it is beautiful) and the amenities on one of the five mammoth cruise ships that petri dish our public health and pollute our Salish Sea for months each sailing season? Why don't we prioritize housing, a clean waterway, pubic transit, Green New Deal as amenities to lure conferences here?

After a week on the Washington coast, without phone, internet or television, we sit in the Kingston ferry line because only one boat is running. Perhaps administrators figured fewer passengers would be traveling during the football game competitively broadcast right now.

Seattle election results tonight: Proposition 1A appears passing (57%) community housing with progressive funding: a tax on companies with salaries over $1M. Seattle Chamber of Commerce and most of Council, Mayor, etc measure 1B appears overcome. In Seattle, it takes a few days to count all the votes, but later votes tend progressive.

Surveillance fan #SeattleMayor #BruceHarrell appears to be giving up on Shotspotter style surveillance in our fair city but won’t give up all the cameras or facial recognition software so dear to the mentality of paranoid real estate, tourism and chain store interests. #Seattle #Shotspotter #surveillance #DontMakeMyCityAThemePark
