#Seattle #election #vote #kingcounty for anyone doing last minute coloring inside the lines, The Urbanist has their own endorsement guide, in case you wanted an alternative to the election control board https://www.theurbanist.org/2026-primary-election-endorsements/ (and one that didn't make the edit into the guide): https://www.theurbanist.org/op-ed-vote-gabe-rothstein-for-seattle-municipal-court/ and if you like to see where everyone agrees, here's a Stranger vs Times comparison from The Cascadia Advocate / NPI https://www.nwprogressive.org/weblog/2026/07/the-seattle-times-versus-the-stranger-how-their-2026-mlkc-area-endorsements-compare.html

Hello, it’s the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government. The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels went down a bit and then went up a bit. The last data are from 7/21. WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth@universeodon.com

Time to remind all #Seattle and #KingCounty book lovers that the two library systems have a reciprocity agreement and you can check out books from *both* libraries if you live in either service area! In addition, both SPL and KCLS have reciprocity agreements with other regional libraries, including Sno-Isle, Tacoma, and many more. https://www.spl.org/using-the-library/get-started/get-started-in-english/en-get-started-with-a-library-card/en-library-card-application/reciprocal-agreements https://kcls.org/interlocal-agreements/ If you are in WA but outside of the Seattle Library's area, they also offer a 1-year paid membership. #libraries

Though the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater sampling has apparently resumed this week, there's a note up on the dashboard saying that the reporting won't start until July 22nd. That's about six weeks of no wastewater data on respiratory pathogens for the entire state, welp. I'm very disappointed.

Hi, these are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government. So, ugh, this is not good: all of the Washington State wastewater data are not being updated. The note isn't making any promises about when the reporting will resume. Since Seattle has about eighteen kajillion people coming here for the World Cup, it would be really great to have wastewater reporting up and running. 😬 You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them.

Seattle and King County officials announced Wednesday they intend to downsize the scope and responsibilities of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority. The five-year-old agency has faced heavy scrutiny following a damning financial audit. Officials said the agency’s response has been “insufficient” to correct the recent findings of mismanagement. https://www.kuow.org/stories/after-damning-audit-officials-yank-most-funding-from-king-county-regional-homelessness-authority #KUOW #News #Government #Homeless #KingCounty #Seattle

Replying to @peterdrake@mstdn.social

@peterdrake@mstdn.social didn't know about that. I usually just suffered in my area but King County also has a reporting form that I'll be sure to use. We've been getting a lot of them for at least the last week presumably because of the sportsball. #seattle #kingcounty https://kingcounty.gov/depts/local-services/permits/building-fire-energy-codes.aspx

Hi, these are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government. Good news: it looks like the data collection and posting cadence is back on track. The DoH even backfilled the missing data. The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average of its detected Sars-CoV-2 is up a bit. The last calculation was made on 1/6. WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them.
