NEW OP-ED// Op-Ed: Stop MAGA from Taking Over Washington, Vote No on I-645, I-001, and I-638 By Suresh Chanmugam via @theurbanist.org

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Finish Better Bike Lanes on Dearborn!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/fini...

CivicTide wishes it could generate even 10% of the buzz electioncheatsheet.org is generating. Btw I used ECS to help me fill out my ballot and it is by far the best progressive Seattle and Washington voter guide out there.

Americans Urged to Vote Early, Hide Deep in Corn Maze Until It’s All Over: tinyurl.com/bdehrurc

Thank you to everyone who made The Car-Free University Way a success! It was amazing to see families return to a space that was now welcoming for them. We are far from done. We intend to work with the UW student body, U District residents, businesses, and the entire community to make this real.

Share the Cities built Lefty Cheat Sheet to better inform Seattle voters of the range of endorsing organizations that exist beyond our two major newspapers. It was built with us and our own communities in mind, and then shared with everyone to use and to customize. leftycheatsheet.org/about.html

Voted using @electioncheatsheet.org for #Burien using the 37th LD filter and then researched the two judges that weren’t on the aggregator website. Saved me time even though the tool is for Seattle! #VoteEarly

Reminder Seattle, ballots are out and leftycheatsheet.org will tell you who endorsed who so you can see if your fav org has a blind spot

Seattle Social Housing Developer's first new construction project is a 20-unit building in the Central District, on the lot that belonged to the late Rep. Frank Chopp. It opens in 2028, and a community preference policy will focus on people with ties to the CD. Story via The Stranger.

It’s pretty rare to see someone publicly admit in writing that they intentionally violated the “age-old” (1999) Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). 😆 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticyb...

Someday, we’ll have streets like this in every neighborhood in Seattle and ask ourselves why it took so long.

We don’t want to take legal action to protect the brand Lefty Cheat Sheet but if someone wants to be our lawyer and write a letter to Eileen Pollet reach out on our contact page.

We need your help to defeat these dangerous initiatives! There's tons of volunteer opportunities happening across the state and virtually. Join us to spread the word about how I-001 and I-638 put our kids at greater risk of harm. Head to www.mobilize.us/nohateinwastate to sign up and take actio

More explicitly a relative of Rep. Pollet, Eileen, who owns a consulting firm that a lot of Dems have used, bought leftycheatsheet dot com and is redirecting it to the FUSE guide as an attempt to confuse people trying to find leftycheatsheet.org

Seattle: still not dying!

Seattle revenue forecast incoming!

Got my ballot in the mail yesterday, voted using the @electioncheatsheet.org last night, and dropped my ballot off at the nearest drop box this morning. Voting should be this easy for everyone.

NEW: Ex CM Sara Nelson's new dark money group just threw $30k behind D5 candidate Julie Kang with the explicit promise of anonymity for donors to avoid public backlash. Now a progressive PAC has filed complaints and is determined to daylight the donors. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/new-dar...

MAJOR NEWS: The Seattle Social Housing Developer is announcing its first new construction project, in the Central District at 2402 E Yesler Way. The SSHD board is set to vote on property acquisition momentarily. Construction is set to start next year and wrap in 2028.

The new finances tab is really cool and provides some transparency for folks that don’t want to get into the weeds of the PDC leftycheatsheet.org#e=20261103&r...

The @electioncheatsheet.org is such a great resource! Ballots are arriving soon, be prepared to vote and use the cheat sheet! electioncheatsheet.org

Ballots will be dropping in your mailboxes this week! We’ve completed incorporating and hand-checking the endorsements of all but a handful of our endorsing organizations, and we’ve improved our site for you.

In Seattle, we believe that healthy food should be available and affordable to everyone. Recently, I spent time with Representative Pramila Jayapal talking about Fresh Bucks, the innovative local program that provides $60 per month to Seattleites to purchase fruits and vegetables…

We’ve updated LeftyCheatSheet.org with General election endorsements from The Urbanist! 🗳️

COLUMN: Seattle already has alternatives to policing. Why not give them more funding? Jesse Hagopian makes the case for investing in youth jobs, violence prevention, and civilian crisis response. Read here: soseaem.org/4hMDGYQ #Seattle

How many reporters would, without owning a car, cover a town council meeting in a tiny suburb on a Tuesday night? Ryan Packer would. Support your local journos!

NEW STORY// 'The Ave for All' Transforms U District's Main Thoroughfare By Ryan Packer via @theurbanist.org

The WA state legislature could end this madness with a one paragraph SEPA exemption bill! @jessdbateman.bsky.social @juliareedwa.bsky.social please let us build housing in the state's largest city

Pulitzer Prize winner Eli Sanders is returning to The Stranger as its new Editor-in-Chief, the paper announced Tuesday.

An update from OPCD to the Seattle planning commission last week confirms that the pending Centers & Corridors zoning update is likely to remain on hold for a full year as the city conducts more analysis, in the wake of a state hearings board ruling. www.theurbanist.org/seattles-cen...

But it shouldn’t matter. Progressive Seattle voters should stop defaulting to the Stranger when voting. Instead, use them as one of many sources. The leftycheatsheet.org is the way to go - aggregating grassroots endorsements, and the Stranger, to help voters make wise choices on their ballot.

If you missed The Ave For All this Saturday, you’re in luck! We’re doing it again on 10/17!

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Turns out having The Ave for All is pretty great.
