Will Another Transit Tax Measure Pass? Plus, Buying a Building for the Community
Today on City Cast Seattle, we start with an incredibly local story: Joining host Jane C. Hu is Jed Sundwall, founder of the Downtown Loyal Heights project, which aims to purchase an $8.8 million redevelopment site at the corner of NW 80th and 24th Ave NW. Jed tells Jane how he decided to try to purchase land he has always wanted to develop, and how he’s taken on a big project despite having little experience in real estate or development. Jane is then joined by arts writer Jas Keimig and City Cast contributor Chase Hutchinson to talk about the news that Katie Wilson wants to double the transit measure to increase the frequency of buses. The trio gets into what this means for taxes, public transit users, and the Mayor’s priorities. Finally, they talk about Hannah Sabio Howell’s campaign brand identity based on a piece Jas wrote for CHUM, the news that SIFF is championing high-quality exhibition with a 70mm run of The Odyssey at SIFF, and finally, Jas’s Substack and screening project Unstreamable.

Union Workers at Acclaimed Restaurant the Walrus and the Carpenter Are Ready to Strike
On Tuesday afternoon, unionized workers at the Walrus and the Carpenter held a strike authorization vote in the sweltering Ballard sun minutes before the acclaimed oyster-centric spot opened for service. Eighteen of 20 union members voted to authorize a strike (with two not voting), so leadership will be able to call a work stoppage if […] The post Union Workers at Acclaimed Restaurant the Walrus and the Carpenter Are Ready to Strike appeared first on The Stranger.

I, Anonymous
Dear neighbor, I pass by you a couple times a week, me walking my dog, you grooving to what must be awesome tunes in your earbuds and smoking a joint on the sidewalk across from our “smoke-free” apartment campus. You look so happy and in-the-moment, you dance like you feel the music in your bone […] The post I, Anonymous appeared first on The Stranger.

On behalf of Seattle, I’d like to take a moment to publicly thank local artist-hero Light Guerrilla for doing the Lord’s work and tagging “TAX THE RICH” in massive light letters across the side of Mark Zuckerberg’s 390-foot supervillain megayacht, Launchpad, which unceremoniously rolled up in our front yard the same day Meta announced 1,400 […] The post Art on a Yacht, Art in a Shed, and a New Museum Director for the Frye appeared first on The Stranger.
