I will actually riot if this shuts down the sounder

For the clueless, it might help if you told us what city and state this is.

So exciting!

This is very helpful!

I like the full vision including the ST4. I hope to see it all become a reality

scam artist

Destroyed a once great city for her benefit.

😞 Promo sm

Thank you for this!

I was commuting from south auburn to downtown seattle on a sunday morning which if any of you have tried it it's a horrible experience without a car and weirdly enough a sounder train was heading up that I didn't even know was coming so I missed it, instead I hopped on one of the intercity busses and it was packed with people who were also going to seattle and in turn would likely have taken the train instead, so there is weekend demand people just need to be informed

Tanya Woo deserves to serve because she should care about what is happening. I am sick of Tammy's racist views. She needs to go. Periodt. 😩

Thank you for even caring. Seattle is a hot mess now. Real Talk.

Definitely sad I missed it! Wish I could've been there ❤️

They need to make the 4th Ave shallow work, King Street needs to be the Hub going forward.

Tammy Morales is the worst ever council member in Seattle. Please stop voting her. Get her out!

Why so slow? Just as slow as the train itself

Terrific presentation by Ron Davis, and so delighted that The Urbanist is endorsing him. Share this video with your friends!

Tammy Morales is directly responsible for our current urban decay.

Andrew Lewis is one of the worst things that ever happened to Seattle. It looks like the walking dead everywhere you go because of the policies he supports

So now also with the possibility of Kent-Des Moines, the way starter lines would actually work is: 1. Construction delays in part of the line, delay opening by a year. 2. Rest of the line going well? Yes. 3. Can we open the part going well earlier? Yes, we'll open it at a year delay, instead of 2 years. It seems like starter lines function as ways of dressing up even more delays as good news. I hope for future projects, there can be automatic contingency plans to allow starter lines to open *on time* when delays on parts of the line occur.

Lots of words from Dones, very little honest insight..

I appreciate the progressive talk on parking. I'm currently living in Olympia and our planning commission is battling an uphill fight to change our parking development requirements. The suburban NIMBYISM down here is exhausting.

Nothing about pedestrian-only Pike Place market?

Cool to see! This video appeared randomly in my reccomended. I don't even live in seattle haha. I hope you can pass this initiative!

Meanwhile China makes this much progress in a matter of a year

Design wise, it hits all the points. However, there’s a reason the 2-4 units are doing well (sfr plus adu/dadu or lr townhome mullet plex) Most Developers build to sell. Selling 2-4 units that have to be condos has allowed developers to not pay attention to condo lending requirements or taking the risk of a large common element that puts risk based on the condo act. Keeping the units primarily adjacent townhouse style and keeping the unit count low per project minimizes risk and maximizes finance options for buyers

I enjoyed every minute of this interview. It was interesting to see the practical designs and also hear about the motivations of different groups.

TOP advocating Darya Farivar. She is a NIAC support and member, a loathed lobbyist for the murderous Islamic regime. Their goal is to paint a “normal” image of this murderous regime, minimize Iranians fight to END this criminal regime, and push for nuclear deal that releases $$$$ to this tyranic regime to kill more Iranian people. Please search her name under NIAC for proof.

The new Regional Homeless Authority dallied for almost a year just to hire Mr. Dones which in turn delayed significant homelessness services, generating complaints from many non-profit homeless services providers. Then in this interview as the CEO he wastes more minutes explaining more delays even with a $75m budget citing a mish-mash of bureaucratic jargon and claiming that 20 months will be needed ("as a startup") to get the new Regional Homelessness Authority moving properly toward "permanent housing" or anything really. In the interview a staff member of a local Seattle homeless services provider wanted to know: "when will we see any progress..". Mr. Dones had no answer except to cite even more boilerplate restatement of the problems of homelessness. Several minutes at the very start of the interview is wasted by Mr. Dones explaining his problems with Zoom services billing and some other incoherent issues. He gives his interview at what seems to be (in the background) a retail clothing store, with audio that is out of sync with the video. So much for his respecting the interview process with The Urbanist. Let me boil down the interview from my perspective as a volunteer advocate for homeless services in Seattle since the early 1980's (Downtown Human Services Council) and past board member of the Real Change Homeless Empowerment Project (newspaper): he is a fast talking self promoting salesman that states the obvious in as complicated and jargon filled way possible. Listen closely for yourself - he restates problems full of anecdotes but offers nothing of value in the telling. To me he is a fraud with a large budget that will waste money intended to help people suffering from homelessness. This happened under CEHKC and it's empty 10-year plan to end homelessness, it's successor org All Home and now the new Regional Homeless Authority. Interviewer was too PC to pushback against Mr. Dones empty rhetoric. Very sad.... tragic really.

Count the the number of times you hear "Umm..."

Unless the Sounder is getting all-day frequent service (10-30 minute bidirectional headways), the 1, 2, and 3 lines have some of the dumbest alignments possible. Why is there a bunch of spaghetti that forces a transfer downtown if you want to get from Everett to Tacoma? Why are lines not in as straight an orientation as possible? More than anything, Seattle needs a solid transit spine that runs north to south, and another that runs East to West. This spaghetti makes no sense and it forces transfers we're they're not needed. Maybe having a twisting layout would make sense in a city that sprawls in all directions, but Seattle sprawls linearly - it should have a spine.

why the heck is that guly guys face on the orange background popping up every 10 seconds….

Seems like too little too late? 2040? The city has a massive housing problem how is this a response ?

What would be wonderful is if the State Capital was connected to Seattle.

Nobody watches this...funny how you make candidates answer a million questions when you are just going to endorse the wacko leftist.

I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR NICOLE KENNEDY. She has big plan to 100% Increase homeless and crime and make every citizen depend on the state. I can guarantee all the big drug dealers will pay her big money if she wins, then they will all come to Seattle and feed the homeless more drugs. Something evil in her eyes I do not trust, and I am never wrong on my intuition as a strong empath. MY VOTE IS FOR ANN DAVISON.

VOYE NIKKITA OLIVER POSITION 9! Vote early!!

The only "rising tide" this grifter will see is when he climbs into a bathtub, which isn't often from what I've seen in his videos. Again he's dressing like an 80's aerobics instructor, his sense of professionalism is outstanding! 🙄 MAYBE he should start paying the over 20,000 in back rent he owes before he worries about ruining, I mean "running" a city. That back rent he didn't pay was while he was employed by the way lol.

On daily trips between Seattle and Bothell I spend 40% the time of the trip stopped or accelerating from stoplights. During that 40% of the time of the trip I average 6 MPG and produce @ 80% of my emissions. The number one job of the department of transportation should be to facilitate and even ensure efficient transport. That means develop a traffic counting and sensing system that can keep it moving. What we have instead is wasted time, wasted health, congestion, damage to the environment and frustrated commuters. It seems like bureaucrats and ceo's want to melt as many glaciers as possible. It seems clear that we could eliminate half of the carbon emissions if we had proper intersections and acceleration controls in place. I hear the monster muscle cars and trucks echo for a mile here many times a day, frustration evident in all the unnecessary waiting. We do not have a transport system deserving of any praise or excuses. We gather as many cars together in a mass at an intersection only to stop and huddle them again 1/4 mile later. Apparently what we need is a transportation Czar who will take the simple steps necessary and understands the destruction and damage being done by what we have now.

Seattle is a shithole a once great city ruined by leftest.

He’s got my vote! We NEED him to pull us out of the mess that TRUMP put our city in! He seems genuine, intelligent, and smart.

Great to finally put a face to the great public journalist

Yesss sidewalks!

We need community connectivity and jobs AND emissions reductions within this decade. UHSGT will not achieve those objectives, whereas implementing the Amtrak Cascades Long Range Plan will. Great to plant the flag for UHSGT but we must not skip the step of utilizing our practical investments - the blueprint and infrastructure that we already have - and making the existing system faster, frequent, reliable. Neither Sec. Millar nor me nor anyone our age will ride the bullet train until we're like 95 years old. We need emissions reductions and economic recovery now, not 30 years from now.

He is sitting in Graceland! Ha.

Thanks, The Urbanist. Are Sec. Roger Millar's presentation slides available to us? Very helpful information. Thank you. I'd like them at [email protected].
