This was an important and useful discussion. I really appreciated the nuanced questions and the space to dive a little deeper on these critical issues for our city and our region. 🧡

You know what people (even transit-dependent people) want more than free buses? Faster, more reliable, more frequent buses. You know what doesn't help with that? Cutting funding.

When we speak up, we can make good things happen! ❤️

Washington is in an all-out battle against climate chaos—from wildfires, to atmospheric rivers and corporate pollution. As federal climate action falters, it's critical that WA has strong local leaders prepared to fight like hell. Support JanePAC's local candidates by contributing what you can 👇

I spoke to both Senator @vandanaslatter.bsky.social and Insurance Commissioner @pattykuderer-waoic.bsky.social about this issue because I was worried about not just the availability but the insurance coverage. I was glad to hear that our state has our back. ❤️WA

This is actually the second ped project currently delayed due to waiting on the signal equipment.

Adding people does not always mean adding cars. There is a qualitative change that comes with more folks and simply linearly extrapolating leads to harmful overestimates.

💪 It was another weekend of team canvassing, this time in the Kingsgate neighborhood! We love meeting neighbors and talking about what's on their minds for Kirkland. Help us keep the momentum through November—sign up here ⤵️ www.kurtforkirkland.com

Meanwhile we'd like to have some bike lane barriers at all. 🥲

It doesn't have to be this way.

Had a blast at the International Night Market last week! So many cultures, flavors, and neighbors all in one place. 🌍 Big shoutout to the bike valet—over 50 bikes parked! Love seeing Kirkland come together like this. 🚲

These things are totally achievable but lofty plans are not enough. We need to elect people who consistently show the will to make good on these promises.

Build great places and people will find a way to get there. Make it easy and safe to get there with transit (or bikes, or walking, or...) and people will do that.

I'll be stopping by!

We have stolen the autonomy of children and so many others and surrendered it to car dependency. This is a choice and we can do better.

We need leadership in Kirkland with the courage to stand up for what is right.

We proved in the primary that our message resonates. We can win this! 💪 The road to November is short, but with your help, we’ll cross the finish line strong. Whether you chip in a few $ or join us knocking doors, every bit matters. Sign up and be part of the team! 🗳️💙 www.kurtforkirkland.com
