| Mayoral race: Restore public trust Posted: 25 Jun 2021 03:59 PM PDT  So the eight leading candidates for Seattle mayor say the biggest decision the winner will face is selecting a new police chief. While it's the most important appointment the new mayor will make, this emphasis on a new Seattle Police Department chief puts the cart before the horse. The new mayor's first priority should be […]  |
| Jayapal takes on Amazon in antitrust fight Posted: 25 Jun 2021 03:41 PM PDT  The House Judiciary Committee approved U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal's ambitious proposal to make it easier to break up industry-dominating companies like Facebook, Apple and Google. Also on the target list is the biggest employer in Jayapal's home district: Amazon.  |
| Compassion Seattle petition: Readers weigh in Posted: 25 Jun 2021 02:35 PM PDT 'Must be resolved' I signed the petition and have one for my neighbors to sign. The distress of our homeless neighbors must be resolved. The current city council mouths compassion but is clueless about practical, timely and compassionate solutions. Amending the charter is a dramatic action, but dramatic action is needed. Opponents offer nothing but […]  |
| Skagit mine permit: ‘Protect our quality of life’ Posted: 25 Jun 2021 02:25 PM PDT An unprecedented coalition of 15 local and tribal governments not seen in the Skagit Watershed since the Magic Skagit arose to fight against nuclear power plants in our valley has come together. The coalition opposes the potential giant copper mine in our headwaters and requests our governments move to permanently protect our headwaters as envisioned […]  |
| Skagit mine permit: Protect farms, local businesses Posted: 25 Jun 2021 02:23 PM PDT As one of the largest independent craft maltsters in the United States, we are highly dependent on the bountiful agricultural region in which we reside. We were happy to read the editorial "Environmental wins and two that need protection: Bristol Bay, Skagit River headwaters" opposing a proposed mining permit in the Canadian headwaters of the […]  |
| Economic complacency is not an option Posted: 25 Jun 2021 02:22 PM PDT  While Washington's overall growth rate has remained above average, this amounts to damming with faint praise. Growth policies are needed that target entire high-tech supply chains distributed geographically across the state.  |
| Bring back corner stores to create a connected, equitable city Posted: 25 Jun 2021 12:25 PM PDT  Tell the city council you want to bring back corner markets to Seattle's single-family neighborhoods to create a connected, walkable and safe city.  |
| Where’s the love (and $) for Seattle neighborhoods? Posted: 25 Jun 2021 11:44 AM PDT  As a city of innovation, Seattle has given much to the world — grunge music, jumbo jets and Chuckits!, for example. But one of its most powerful innovations is both unheralded and endangered — the Neighborhood Matching Fund. The matching fund is a city grant program that offers monetary support for community projects in exchange […]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2021 10:42 AM PDT  Can President Joe Biden's clever infrastructure deal break Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's roadblock?  |
| Move quickly, Congress, to save local news outlets Posted: 25 Jun 2021 08:59 AM PDT There's broad agreement that the journalism crisis is urgent and a threat to democracy. With the economy recovering and pandemic easing, it's time for Congress to address this critical problem before it becomes unfixable.  |
| The biggest threat to America is America itself Posted: 25 Jun 2021 08:01 AM PDT  We Americans repeat the mantra that "we're No. 1" even though the latest Social Progress Index, a measure of health, safety and well-being around the world, ranked the United States No. 28.  |
| We the People are the collateral damage of partisan warfare Posted: 25 Jun 2021 08:01 AM PDT  Finding the balance between reasonable voter ID that 75% of Americans favor and federal standards to ensure that voting is accessible and fair cannot even be debated as both sides are entrenched in the dogmatic rhetoric of left versus right politics.  |
| ‘Block the Boat’ would hurt Seattle, not Israel Posted: 25 Jun 2021 08:00 AM PDT  Israel's policy toward Palestinians demands stronger international scrutiny, but blocking Israeli ships from the Port of Seattle damages our region's maritime economy.  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2021 05:14 AM PDT  Tribalism, and the corrosive hatreds that go with it, has always been just below the surface in the risky experiment of our multi-ethnic democracy. Of late, it has surfaced in many of our daily interactions — and accounts for much of the meanness of this moment.  |
