The Broadway Insomnia Cookies shop has opened.
CHS reported in October 2024 on plans for the shop to join the chain’s more than 300 locations across the country with a new location hoped to cater to the kids from nearby Seattle University and throngs of weekend nightlife revelers around Broadway and Pike/Pine.

The Seattle City Council will step away from 2026 budgets Friday as its land use committee takes up legislation seeked to help the city further rein in State’s Environmental Policy Act review in hopes of speeding more development of housing.
The bill sponsored by council member Mark Solomon would exempt “infill” residential development from SEPA review except in areas near shorelines, environmentally critical areas, or “historic locations.” The proposed exemption would be in place “until citywide planned-for growth is achieved,” a presentation (PDF) on the legislation explains.
According to the presentation, the legislation would align the city with “state guidance for streamlining SEPA environmental review” while also doing more to “speed housing production and encourage transit-oriented development.” Continue reading

Seattle officials have quietly ordered a sweep of homeless encampments Thursday from a 15-block area of First Hill surrounding the planned home of the future Broadway Crisis Care Center and just blocks from the sites of two recent deadly Capitol Hill shootings.
“Materials in this area are an obstruction of the intended use of this property, are in a hazardous location or present an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) obstruction,” the boilerplate text for the frequently used City of Seattle clearance order reads.
Unlike most orders that pertain to a specific park or parking strip, the October 30th order covers a wide swath of city streets covering “E Union to Madison St and from Broadway to Minor Ave.” Continue reading

Donating to existing food bank programs is one of the best ways to help and this weekend a group is going to make it a lot easier to support one of Seattle’s most important providers, the Rainier Valley Food Bank.
The Cascadia Democratic Action group will be in Cal Anderson Saturday for a SNAP to Action food drive in support of RVFP:
Join Cascadia Democratic Action in Seattle’s Cal Anderson park between noon and 3 pm on Saturday, Nov. 1 as as we gather food donations and facilitate online donation of funds in support of Rainier Valley Food Bank. We’ll have collection boxes available ONLY for Rainier Valley Food Bank specific requests (must be unopened): cooking oil, seasonings, soy sauce, flour, rice and pasta, infant formula, canned chicken, SPAM or tuna, and UHT (non-refrigerated) soy, rice or almond milk.

In addition to efforts like Saturday’s drive, the most direct way to help is to make a financial donation directly to the food banks. You can find a roster of Seattle food banks here. Continue reading
