  1. After days of rain, Porter Creek became a study in movement.

    As the current curled around submerged rocks, new shapes formed and dissolved so quickly that no two frames looked alike.

  3. I'm happy to report that the #washingtonstate #covid #covid19 #wastewater site is being updated again, yay. It's been down due to a supplier issue since early June.

    Let's start with the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant. The 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels is up above the nice low baseline level we were enjoying this spring. The last data is from 7/14.

    WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

  7. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦝❤️ #Jimothy, a Seattle #raccoon with a likely congenital spine condition has become an internet sensation for his short round body.

    He was first spotted in #Seattle’s #Ballard neighborhood and has since inspired murals, #tattoos, and a city council proclamation. #Wildlife vets at #WashingtonState University confirm he appears healthy and adaptable.

  12. Hi #washingtonstate voters, it's primary voting time. You have until August 4th to get your ballots back in. I filled out my ballot tonight, with particular attention to all the State Supreme Court races. I can't overstate how important these specific races are as we gear up for more court fights.

    If you want more background beyond the candidate statements, Fuse Washington has an excellent Progressive Voter's Guide here: progressivevotersguide.com/was

    PS: Did you know you can get status alerts about your ballot's return and processing? King County's signup page is at kce.wiki/TrackMyBallot. I think many other counties have similar ballot tracking services.

  17. There are plenty of gorgeous tropical and subtropical cities, but there is something special about the higher latitudes that comes through even in a photograph taken deep in the night. Seattle is already on up there, but one thing I love about it is the very main street's name suggests your next destination...

    Taken by me one summer's evening on Alaskan Way: "Northbound".

  22. If you are a voter in Washington State you should be getting your ballot for the August primary in the mail soon (I just got mine). There are four State Supreme Court primaries, and these races are often the hardest to figure out. This tool from the Northwest Progressive Institute has info about all the candidates in each race and a handy view of who is endorsing each.
