Sometimes, Council needs a reminder map, or three, of where the existing ingredients for successful neighborhoods – sidewalks, community spaces, and high latent demand, just to name a few – are actually located in Edmonds. (Spoiler: it's not along State Route 99.)

It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down.

Many Americans only go out on the weekends because going anywhere requires driving long distances, which takes too much time and energy during the week.
But if they could walk down the street to a cafe, pub, park, or library after work, they would go out far more often.

Tragic and senseless. Ajike "AJ" Owens, a mother of four, was shot and killed by her neighbor after a feud over her children playing outside. We demand justice for her and accountability for this horrific act of violence. #JusticeForAjike #EndGunViolence cnn.it/3WQENKQ

When Americans go on vacation, they like places to conveniently walk or bike around, and yet many of those same people will oppose this walkable urbanism in their own hometowns.

Seattle used to have these laws when Mark Sidran was city attorney in the '90s.
Spoiler alert: it didn't work then. It won't work now. Folks who are homeless need housing. Provide that, not an ordinance criminalizing sitting down.

Every good bicycle ride starts with a safe street to ride on.
Every good bicycle ride starts with a helmet and riding to school is no exception. Before their feet hit the pedals, remind them of the importance of wearing a helmet. Learn more: NHTSA.gov/bicyclesafety #BikeRollToSchoolDay

Two minors were left at the mall after hours. Did an extra half trip to get them home. Can’t leave people stranded, though I really wanted to get home. @trimet last night. Thanks to our Dispatchers who help make this call easy
