| Share your thoughts: Pedestrian safety Posted: 01 Apr 2022 10:07 AM PDT  A new Seattle public awareness campaign aims to prevent collisions by making drivers aware of their responsibilities to yield to pedestrians, even in unmarked crosswalks. Have you had a close encounter either as a pedestrian or a driver? What safety improvements would make it safer for pedestrians? Share your thoughts and experiences in a letter […] |
| From the former editor of Mad magazine: Retire already! Posted: 01 Apr 2022 10:01 AM PDT  As someone who opted for the exit a few years ago, I have two words for people contemplating retirement: Do it! |
| Spring cleaning for your thoughts and words: Keep it positive Posted: 01 Apr 2022 10:01 AM PDT  The Clean Speech movement is teaching communities to be mindful of their speech and build a more positive, respectful world, which is sorely needed. |
| Downtown Seattle crime: Moving a bus stop is not the answer Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:41 AM PDT  Re: "Third and Pike bus stop to temporarily close amid downtown Seattle safety concerns" [March 24, Local News]: This is grabbing the wrong end of the stick, a short-term fix that fails to address underlying problems. I commute by bus. My downtown stop is on Third Avenue and Pike Street. When crime is in the […] |
| Downtown Seattle crime: Impact on the arts Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:31 AM PDT Re: "As more shows open in the Seattle area, how are ticket sales going?" [March 25, Entertainment]: I believe the most obvious reason for the declining subscriptions and ticket sales was overlooked. The article focused on COVID-19 and racial-equity issues. No mention was made of the crime and filthy streets that endanger pedestrians at night. […] |
| Dinner-table chitchat with Ginni and Clarence Thomas Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:14 AM PDT  Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, is a right-wing true believer, posing an ethical dilemma for the highest court in the land. |
| A person learns a lot while growing locs like Judge Jackson’s Posted: 01 Apr 2022 08:01 AM PDT  Ketanji Brown Jackson isn't just a highly qualified Black woman. She's a highly qualified Black woman with natural hair. |
| Yes, lynching is still a thing Posted: 01 Apr 2022 08:01 AM PDT  I, too, wish that lynching was only an ugly feature of America's past, but sadly that simply isn't the case. |
| Discarded masks: Quixotic task Posted: 31 Mar 2022 02:07 PM PDT Those pesky, dirty, used and barely used school, car, bus, grocery store, sidewalk, trail, road COVID-19 masks spit at me. I warned them, "I see you." Perhaps like Don Quixote, now I am walking through my city, eyes on alert, bag in my coat pocket, gloves on. Today, in only eight daily random trips, 90 […] |
| Intersections: Pedestrians’ responsibilities Posted: 31 Mar 2022 02:03 PM PDT Re: "A step in the right direction: Reminders to stop for pedestrians" [March 30, Opinion]: It is laudable that there will be focus on pedestrian safety at crosswalks. There is no excuse for drivers "blowing through" a crosswalk where pedestrians are crossing. On the other hand, it would save lives if pedestrians would pay attention […] |
| Chopp’s funding grab subverts King County Regional Homelessness Authority Posted: 31 Mar 2022 12:55 PM PDT  State Rep. Frank Chopp and other elected officials should defer to the King County Regional Homelessness Authority on projects and spending priorities. |
| Local news needs help against tech giants Posted: 30 Mar 2022 02:56 PM PDT  The Wisconsin State Journal editorial board argues for passage of the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act that's languishing in Congress. |
| Ever wonder how much plastic you may be ingesting? Posted: 30 Mar 2022 02:52 PM PDT  As our world drowns in plastic, the timing could not be more crucial. We need a plastic-free and climate-friendly future. |
| Sea-Tac is adapting, but we need a new airport Posted: 30 Mar 2022 02:49 PM PDT  The new International Arrivals Facility is impressive, but the landlocked airport is running out of room. |
| Transportation: Try active commuting Posted: 30 Mar 2022 02:45 PM PDT Re: "Washington governor signs $17 billion transportation package" [March 25, Local News]: With soaring gas prices and Washington's new transportation package, Walk-to-Work Day (April 1) is well-timed. I've foot-commuted for a decade, and I recently co-led a study examining South Seattle community mobility. I know firsthand the pitfalls and promise of active commuting (walking, rolling […] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2022 10:51 AM PDT  President Joe Biden is right — Russian President Vladimir Putin should not be in power. |
| Will Smith was wrong to hit Chris Rock — but I understand Posted: 30 Mar 2022 02:30 AM PDT  I am more shocked that Rock decided to mock a Black woman's hair on the world stage, given the politics of Black hair that he himself documented. |
| Ask Chechens about Putin’s playbook Posted: 29 Mar 2022 05:24 PM PDT  Suppose for a moment that Putin never intended to conquer all of Ukraine: that, from the beginning, his real targets were the energy riches of Ukraine's east. |
| U.S. economy is running too hot Posted: 29 Mar 2022 02:36 PM PDT  It pains me to say that we can't safely let the economy keep running this hot. |
