Getting Around
Welcome to Seattle, the land of fairly decent public transportation! Meaning: Please do not drive to the Seattle Stadium (aka Lumen Field) during the World Cup. Traffic is already bad enough when we aren’t hosting a global sporting event, and parking will be either wildly expensive or altogether impossible. Whether you’re visiting from afar or […] The post Getting Around appeared first on The Stranger.

64% of Washington voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s job performance, a new record in NPI’s Civic Heartbeat polling
Even more striking, the percentage of voters in the Evergreen State who approve of Trump's job performance fell to 30% in NPI's spring survey of the Washington electorate, which is 4% less than the previous low. Nationally, Trump's job performance rating is also declining, with Trump's war of choice in Iran and increasing prices alienating even his own voters. 64% of Washington voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s job performance, a new record in NPI’s Civic Heartbeat polling is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.
