I hope you all had a good weekend… let’s get to the news.
Seattle Times reports that city leaders are realizing 911 is not the best approach to handling homeless emergencies.
The Sightline Institute looks at who votes in Seattle local elections.
GeekWire has a list of recommendations on how to make Seattle more tech-friendly.
Seattle Times covers the slow progress on the design of the Northgate pedestrian bridge.
The Urbanist has a suggestion for where the city could place new housing developments — and old white guys aren’t going to like it.
