Something I wanted to put out that I've been forgetting. I ran into this problem again today so I remembered.
If you're a #Costco shopper and buy their bulk packs of house-brand ( #Kirkland ) AAA or AA cells/batteries, you may want to check any devices you've got them in.
I found that some I bought a few years ago have a really bad leak failure rate - something like half the AAAs in a pack, and maybe a third of a pack of AAs - all leaked after being used in low-drain devices like remote controls after just a year or two. It's not a case of them leaking after they're discharged or when they get too old - the terminal voltage on them is just fine, and their best-before date is still years from now -- there's just a manufacturing defect.
The AAAs in particular tend to spit out a lot of electrolyte from the negative terminal end, so it gets all over the spring contact and corrodes it. If you leave it long enough, you may find the remote stops working or becomes intermittent even with new batteries in it. You need to clean off the corrosion and possibly put a layer of solder on it to get a good contact again.
The bad AAAs I have are labelled "Best Installed by March 2030" and have what looks like a lot code of "1015673" on them. They're from the era when they had a gold and blue colour scheme, at least in Canada.
Anyway: open up remotes and other long-lived things and see if they're leaking.

A bit of good news: the long-awaited direct crossing of Slater Avenue on the Cross-Kirkland-Connection/Eastrail Trail is finally open. No more biking down to the corner to cross, the CKC/Eastrail Trail has its _own_ signalled crossing.
A lot of people would just cross there anyway, of course, but it's MUCH better to have a proper bike signal setup there.

Apparently #SoundTransit is attempting to cut stations, such as west #seattle , ballard, #issaquah , and #kirkland , from the new ST3 project due to running out of funding. Unforchies it doesnt look like Microsoft is going to foot the bill this time like with the 2 line.
Article below goes into detail, petition below demands that W.Seattle and Ballard stations be re-instated. Haven't seen any other info so far but if anyone knows anything else feel free to add on to the post

Hello, The National Weather Service has issued a FLOOD WATCH for portions of northwest Washington, including all of King County, that will be in effect Wednesday afternoon through Friday afternoon. Flooding caused by excessive rainfall and heavy snow levels/snowmelt runoff may be possible, resulting in the flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Residents of flood-prone areas, or who transit these areas, should monitor forecasts, prepare for further Flood Warnings, and prepare to take action should flooding develop.
Thank you, Kevin Lowery
