Sometimes, Council needs a reminder map, or three, of where the existing ingredients for successful neighborhoods – sidewalks, community spaces, and high latent demand, just to name a few – are actually located in Edmonds. (Spoiler: it's not along State Route 99.)

STATEMENT: Today, SCOTUS announced they will hear Johnson v. Grants Pass. This case could decide whether cities are allowed to punish people for things like sleeping outside with a pillow or blanket, even when no safe shelter is available.

I thought that if we removed parking, businesses would close?

It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down.

If you’d like to help, you can do so here.

@cruickshank I am relieved to hear that the overwhelming majority of Ohioans rejected Issue 1!

Many Americans only go out on the weekends because going anywhere requires driving long distances, which takes too much time and energy during the week.

But if they could walk down the street to a cafe, pub, park, or library after work, they would go out far more often.

Measure 114 is a vital tool to prevent gun-related violence while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners. We stand with @OregonAlliance. Let's protect our communities and support common-sense gun laws. #SafeCommunities #Measure114 #StandwithOregon

[LauraJohnson@LAJohnsonTweets @LAJohnsonTweets]

@CoachBalto Congratulations and thank you for your advocacy!

[Sam Balto @CoachBalto]

🔒 Safety should never be compromised. Measure 114 mandates firearm safety training, fingerprinting, and permits for purchasing a firearm. Let's champion safety and support Oregon in upholding Measure 114. #ResponsibleGunOwnership #DefendMeasure114

Tragic and senseless. Ajike "AJ" Owens, a mother of four, was shot and killed by her neighbor after a feud over her children playing outside. We demand justice for her and accountability for this horrific act of violence. #JusticeForAjike #EndGunViolence https://t.co/vYokFEB6j8

When Americans go on vacation, they like places to conveniently walk or bike around, and yet many of those same people will oppose this walkable urbanism in their own hometowns.

[LauraJohnson@LAJohnsonTweets @LAJohnsonTweets]

@CathyTuttle A beautiful street! One that allows children to play outside, neighbors to gather, and a chance to engage with those walking by.

[Sam Balto @CoachBalto]

Thank you @weatherchannel for having me on last week to talk about the #BikeBus & #BikeRollToSchool day. 1/2 it was a long segment!!

Seattle used to have these laws when Mark Sidran was city attorney in the '90s.

Spoiler alert: it didn't work then. It won't work now. Folks who are homeless need housing. Provide that, not an ordinance criminalizing sitting down.
