Thrilled to have the new @SoundTransit Light Rail extension up to Shoreline and connected bus lines - first trip on the “vroom-vroom” and “choo-choo” took 45 minutes door-to-door from Olympic Hills to Pike Place. About time!

Yes please. Insane that this gigantic amount of publicly-owned land in a prime location is set aside for a mediocre golf course when the alternative could include public/community space, dog park, playground, gardens, etc. What a huge draw that’d be for thousands of neighbors!

Should Seattle’s Jackson Park, steps from a new light rail station, be opened to to more than just golfers?

@aedwardslevy we did this at GQR once after hours… events included estimating the timing of a questionnaire, a race to find particular data points in xtabs, binding banner books, file naming, photoshop, and something called the “language luge challenge” that I don’t remember…

@anthonydeangelo No longer in DC but here we’ve been hitting up Petco (free zoo!), Best Buy (so many lights!), Dick’s Sporting Goods (free playground!), and grocery stores as emergency stopgap indoor playgrounds when the weather is bad 😂

Our @SplitTicket_ poll:

Biden 37/Trump 39/RFK Jr. 11.
Generic ballot D+2 (44D-42R).

What I do find interesting is how different young voters look here: Trump *wins* them despite Democrats leading the generic ballot with young voters, 49-34.

@mkefrizz i’m caught up on whether it was a:
a) small, outdoor, “dog festival”
b) small festival for “outdoor dogs”
c) festival specifically for small outdoor dogs

really hoping (c).

@Politics_Polls @EchelonInsights @PatrickRuffini Respectfully, two questions about this WA poll:

1) Why give party labels in the WA SEN horse race Q but not WA GOV? Wouldn’t that explain Reichert’s supposed lead?

2) You really feel the Q wording on ballot measure/energy questions is unbiased and not leading?

@JeremyAPearce ha I was orange and Kelly said pink, but it’s right in between!
