Got my early start test tomatoes upsized to their 6 inch pots where they'll stay until they go outside. Getting ready to start Cosmo and Monarda seeds in the seeding rack and maybe the Alyssum if I have room. Also got some Foxglove seeds started. And got some USB fans going to help with the ventilation this time around. Things are chugging right along.

A 64yo Seattle woman was recently detained at SeaTac airport after returning from a trip to visit family in the Philipines.

Lewelyn Dixon has lived in the US for 50 years, is a green card holder and works at UW Medicine. She's been detained at ICE's notorious prison, the NW Detention center.

#StokeSpace, the #Seattle area's second-best-known rocket company (after Jeff Bezos' #BlueOrigin space venture) says its new status as a launch provider for the U.S. #SpaceForce is a "testament to the company's technical capabilities." https://www.geekwire.com/2025/stoke-space-rocket-lab-space-force-launch/ #Space #Military #Security

Hello, it’s the (delayed this week -- sorry!) 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.

Starting with the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant: last week, the Sars-CoV2 7-day running average crept up a bit, though it is still at the low end of the scale, historically speaking. Last data is from 3/18.

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 …

Two best lightning shots from tonight. That second one was super close, prompted my kiddo to get his ear protection, and left an image on my eye for a couple minutes. No hail so thankful for that.

A dramatic lightning strike illuminates a dark, stormy sky, casting a bright blue glow over a neighborhood scene with houses and trees. Rain is visible, adding to the atmospheric effect.

#Seattle and #Tacoma area folks: WSLC is calling on folks to meet outside the Tacoma ICE detention facility tomorrow, Thursday the 27, at 5:30 pm and rally in solidarity with two unfairly detained #union siblings

one is an SEIU member who works at a #UW lab and the other is an organizer with Familias Unidas por la Justicia, so I hope those of you in the university community will circulate this as well

GET ME HIRED

Hi, #seattle friends in #productmanagement or whatever hashtag makes sense.

I'm looking for a job (like many Seattleites lately). I'm not asking for a contract or money or anything like that, but if you can squeeze me into an interview related to writing, reading, and leading software endeavors, please do!

All the PMy stuff, all the soft skills, and a bunch of hard ones, mostly around React/TS/JS/Node, security, cloud, cloud security, and even some Rust!
