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 ... the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant is back with data, but it's the only King County site that is reporting this week. WSPT's 7-day running average is pretty low, but since there wasn't data for this site last week, it's hard to get a directional sense. Last data was calculated on 11/25.
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
Good morning, welcome to the way-late weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. The whole days-of-the-week thing got away from me this week.
A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.
Both the West Point (WSPT) and Brightwater (BWT) sewage treatment plants had placeholder 0.0 values this week, so no new data to report there. But the King County South sewage treatment did report in, and its seven day running average of Sars-Cov2 levels is nice and low. In fact, the 11/17 7DRA is the lowest recorded since fall of 2024, when this dataset began. It has climbed up a bit since then. Last data was calculated on 11/19.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office says the number of shots fired during the third quarter of the year has dropped for a second year in a row.

Outside Seattle, the suburbs are often hubs for Latino and first-generation immigrant communities. Reports of ICE arrests in some of those smaller cities have been trending over the past weeks, although the official numbers are tough to pinpoint. Some suburban communities are responding to immigration enforcement in different ways.

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7-Day running average is the lowest[*] it's been since the state switched data providers in fall of 2024. And you know what that means: it's time to deploy some celebratory emoticons: 😍👯🎉The last data was calculated on 11/9.
[*] if you exclude the 0.0 "no data" placeholder values that pop up from time to time in this dataset.

How SDOT plans to connect CID bike routes to the SoDo Trail in 2026
The missing “Georgetown to Downtown North Connection” is marked with blue dots. Map from an SDOT presentation to the Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board (PDF).The Georgetown to Downtown Safety Project officially opened in September, and it is a massive improvement for bikeability through the Industrial District. However, it does have one glaring problem: It doesn’t actually connect to downtown as the name implies.
However, SDOT unveiled a concept they hope to build in 2026 to close the gap between the SoDo Trail’s terminus at Stadium Station and the Chinatown-International District bike routes that connect to the downtown bike network, and it is similar to what Seattle Bike Blog suggested back in September. The city will work with King County and the Salvation Army-operated shelter to open 6th Ave S to biking and walking. Started as a 2020 COVID emergency response, the 250-bed shelter operates out of a series of warehouses and former commercial spaces along 6th Ave S. The shelter will continue to operate here until at least the end of 2027. However, the shelter complex also blocks the entire roadway with a temporary-looking fence, removing the most comfortable biking and walking route between Stadium Station and downtown. The plan is to instead fence off the area around the shelter but allow a pathway for walking and biking and perhaps also some motor vehicle travel.
A presenter noted that designers and shelter operators were talking about the possibility of removing the east fence entirely, which would create more space for biking and walking.The design drawing shown at the Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board (“SBAB”) October meeting shows a 15-foot-wide bike path between two fences. However, the presenter said the design was progressing and might not include the east fencing at all, since the shelter currently only uses those buildings for storage. The drawing lists that fence as “optional.” SBAB members noted the concern that fences on both sides, especially opaque ones like the fences currently installed, may not feel comfortable for users. Because the shelter is a King County project, the county is ultimately responsible for moving the fencing while SDOT is funding the design and bikeway install.
The area around the shelter is in something of a limbo period as Sound Transit tries to figure out whether it will build a station there as part of the Ballard Link Extension, which would include a second downtown tunnel. Dow Constantine, then-King County Executive and now Sound Transit CEO, and Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell both pushed for the agency to support a controversial plan to site a station in this industrial location surrounded by elevated freeway ramps rather than in a location with a transfer connection to the existing Chinatown-International District Station and King Street Station. But with current project cost estimates going far over-budget, it’s unclear how a reduced-cost version of the second tunnel might change this site’s future.
Meanwhile, Mayor-elect Katie Wilson campaigned on the promise to build 4,000 shelter beds during her first term. A previous proposal to expand the number of beds and services at this site was abandoned in 2022 following some pushback.

It's funny, i have anxiety, an actual anxiety disorder and sometimes appointments especially when i have to take a bus kinda' make me anxious because i worry about arriving on time.
It's all working out, i used Google Maps but King County's OneBusAway right now is experiencing issues and can't bring up route info or where buses are and if they are on time.
I have an interview for the place i'm likely moving into this afternoon..
Perfect timing OneBusAway! Thanks.
Hey south King County! Three new 1 Line stations open December 6th, Kent Des Moines, Star Lake, and Federal Way (Downtown):

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 did get updated this week, after not having been updated last week. It's pretty low. Last data calculated on 11/4.

There are a couple of races in King County which _may_ still be in contention depending upon how many votes come in (but it's unlikely), and one race in King County which is LITERALLY TIED.

Our newly elected King County Executive, Girmay Zahilay, outlines action the County can take in response to federal cuts to SNAP. I posted a comment to the post about expanding public health department.

Girmay Zahilay has claimed victory in the race for King County executive, as his opponent Claudia Balducci conceded Friday. The two are both currently County Council members representing opposite sides of Lake Washington.
