@jwhittenbergK5 We are about to find out.

@Brian_onX Sure. But he also sometimes thinks the same of me. Sometimes he knows more, sometimes I do. Respect for each other, including each other’s intellect, is part of a healthy, happy marriage. #30yearsandcounting

Praying that all of the officers involved will be safe and recover quickly. #bellevue

DEVELOPING: There is a major police response to the Bellevue Transit Center (NE 6th Street and 110th Ave NE)

Nothing confirmed at this point, but we have crews headed to the scene.

Interested in learning more about development agreements? Register for this MRSC webinar that I’m presenting next week with two city directors on best practices and pitfalls. Washington CLE and CM credits available. https://t.co/ppH3uYui2i

@ItsMattsLaw Cities with good internal staff. Lots of interesting issues, you develop deep relationships over time so can be proactive/part of the team, they value your work, they recognize you have a life (vacations are ok), and always pay their bills. This is 90+% of my work. I ❤️ my job.

[Jennifer Robertson @JenSRobertson]

@RepAdamSmith This is likely due to increased development costs, including interest rates, construction costs, & Seattle rent ctrl. With rent control now WA law, plus the significant tax increases this last session, building MF housing will continue to be slower than needed to meet demand.

I mean there’s just no point in playing contact football if that’s roughing the passer

@writeclimbrun Why not use outlook developer to create an email form that disallows “reply all”? I do that when I want to control how replies come in. (I work for govt agencies and typically use it so my elected officials don’t accidentally reply all and violate the Open Public Meeting Act.)

@jasonrantz Coming from someone who drinks only 1-2 drinks per week: I think that’s semi-moderate. One a day is moderate (think one beer or glass of wine with dinner). Two every day is a little much imo. I would say 5-10 drinks per week is moderate.

@DietCoke_Esq Take a 30 minute walk every day during the work day - outside weather permitting. I do this in the afternoon and I come back ready to work a few more hours.

[Mayor Guy Fieri @GuyFieri]

Happy 4th of July everyone!!
Enjoy it!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Jennifer Robertson @JenSRobertson]

@Dirtdragonmom Yes! Garlic should always be measured with your heart!

[Jennifer Robertson @JenSRobertson]

@seattletimes Every time this project is delayed, I can hear the late Dr. Don Davidson (former Bellevue Mayor) predicting (in about 2012), “Light rail will never make it across the floating bridge!” Then and now, I hope he is proven wrong. But that day is not this day.

Seattle raises taxes. Businesses leave town. Revenue declines.

The state budget proposals follow this same model. #waleg

@AlpacaAurelius It’s also ok to be both a law firm partner AND a mother. #storyofmylife

@CatholicAwesome True. On hearing about my third someone asked me, “Was that on purpose?” Yes, Karen, each of my children were planned and wanted. Children are life’s greatest joy and quite a wonderful adventure.

[Jennifer Robertson @JenSRobertson]

@strowhiro I’m team #1! But, if you agree to some of their changes and want to make other revisions, please accept the changes from the other side (or your earlier changes they agreed to) so it shows the winnowing down over time. Otherwise it gets too confusing.

@BiblicalBeauty Also paramedic with a fire department or police officer.

[Jennifer Robertson @JenSRobertson]

@BiblicalBeauty The same as your sons. Women can do all those things and more. To that I would add crane operator is an excellent job and takes focus and skill, not brute strength. But aside from construction, dental hygienists do well.
