neighborsfornilu.orgAssign Vouchers | Nilu Jenks For Seattle City CouncilNilu is running a neighbor-powered campaign funded by Seattle's Democracy Voucher program. Every resident of District 5 can assign two $50 vouchers - it doesn't cost you anything! And this is the only race that can accept vouchers this year.

If you live in Seattle's District 5, have you given your $100 in Democracy Vouchers to @neighborsfornilu.bsky.social or are you saving up for one big democracy? www.neighborsfornilu.org/vouchers

My favorite part is how it rests on top a hill surrounded by trees and you can see it for miles. Pure "Porky Pig inherits a haunted house and under the terms of his uncle's will has to stay their overnight" vibes

I shouldn't be surprised they couldn't wait till after the midterms to announce this, should I? This is for when cartoon villainy isn't cartoonish or villainous enough. (It's actually real. $600k waterfront condos for cars. Because we need affordable housing for cars, apparently.)

With a millionaires tax on the ballot, they really should have waited until after Election Day to announce the construction of 72 luxury waterfront condos exclusively housing the expensive cars of rich people.

Soon: a King County resident has been charged with election fraud, after purchasing 'I voted' stickers online and distributing them to his friends. "I just wanted to do something nice for my mates," he said at his arraignment this afternoon. "I didn't know it was illegal." He will be executed Friday

Due to its glacial vote-counting process, officials reminded Washington residents who don’t want to stressfully check 4 p.m. ballot drops for seven days straight to add an extra week of hiding.
