This is a wonderful opportunity to tighten community bonds and maintain good mental and physical health. I lost touch with this sport for a good 4-5 years due to COVID and once I started playing again last year, I realized just how amazing it has been to get back into a sport I love and grew up with, but to make new friends, engage in community, keep fit and balance out stress mentally and physically. It has completely improved my mental health and happiness having this wonderful sport available to participate in and continue. And for it to stop short for a few months each year breaks that rhythm and cycle for all of us especially in these dark depressing winter months where physical exercise and community interaction is paramount to mental health. Many of us also experience financial hardships left over from COVID times and with the economy so bad and living expenses so high to the point of being unlivable, many of us don't have additional means to spend extra money on the private paid courts outside of Seattle. So this is even more important that we have the chance to continue playing in the community centers which we appreciate so much! thank you!!
Jeremy apoyó esta petición: Badminton for Seattle in Winter 2025I have almost been hit in that cross walk by the library with my three year old and dog, it's getting to be such a bad road, something needs to change!
Rachel apoyó esta petición: Install Traffic Calming Measures on South 120thWe definitely need to get paid more because we are underpaid for the type of work we are expected to do and deal
With on a daily basis. We are at risk of fentanyl exposure, stabbings, shootings, and being attacked on the trains at any second. 29.00 an hour is simply not enough and isn’t talked about enough.
muhammad apoyó esta petición: Petition for Fair and Transparent Employee Management at Intercon Sound Transit SecurityMy school's environmental club has had so much support from YESC, from helping with club activities to providing opportunities for learning helping our community. We were all heartbroken when our representative told us they lost their job and wouldn't be able to come anymore. YESC and their workers are some of the most important parts of educating youth and getting people involved in environmental action.
Esther apoyó esta petición: YMCA Earth Service Corps: Protect Youth Environmental Leadership in WashingtonThis is not the way to go dense! As a commercial real estate appraiser what I have seen that works best is clustered, mid to high rise upzoning like we have seen in the U-District, Roosevelt, Northgate, etc. Cutting 50-60 foot zoning through the middle of a residential areas is not the way!
Chris apoyó esta petición: STOP - HIGH RISE DEVELOPMENT on Residential NE 65th St & 35th Ave NEResidents of the Wedgwood/Ravenna/Bryant neighborhoods do not want this kind of development. We live here, YOU DON'T. I've lived in my home since 2004 and every year since then, the traffic, crime and homelessness has been getting worse. We don't need more density, especially if the city can't address the problems we already have. It's not necessarily a bad thing if people do not have housing options in Seattle and are forced to move somewhere else; not everyone has to live here.
Gina apoyó esta petición: STOP - HIGH RISE DEVELOPMENT on Residential NE 65th St & 35th Ave NELittle Saigon and the greater CID neighborhood are sorely under-resourced and rarely invested in with the same amount of equitable revitalization and conservation dollars as neighboring areas, such as the Seattle Waterfront, Downtown, and SODO areas. Historical communities such as CID deserve MORE investment and preservation as a pillar of contribution through the centuries in shaping our beautiful city, too. Seattle is known for Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, our fresh seafood
SINA apoyó esta petición: Dedicate Resources to Restore and Revitalize Little SaigonI’m so willing to help. Have you been to any parks in Seattle? I recently visited Discovery Park and relaxed against an Ancient Cedar. I’ve walk along the new Waterfront Park. But take a look at what kind of park the city has provided for the residents of Little Saigon! Amazing to see a simple, thoughtful, non-violent approach to the human mess that 12th and Jackson has been. Power washing sidewalks several times a day has disrupted trafficking. We all owe a huge apology to the residents and businesses here in Little Saigon. I don’t see evidence that King County even understands what a solid Public Health Department should have been doing all along to address the exploding opiate crisis. This is also the responsibility of the city, state and federal leadership.
I can’t post the pictures I’ve taken here. They ooze racism, elitism, and a stunning blindness to the existence not just of the Little Saigon community and its Vietnamese heritage, but also to the struggles of the homeless and neighbors who have fallen into the black hole of fentanyl. I’ve heard locals suggest using automatic weapons to murder addicts and transients. Seriously???? With the financial, educational and intellectual resources in this state, this has been acceptable.
In addition to the leadership, the experts, the authorities Tanya has asked to come to our table and face this square on, I’d like to see some of the world famous experts from UW show their faces, be invited to use their talents to help out. After all, UW is a state institution.
Invite faculty in Public Policy, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Community Medicine, Public Health, Addiction Medicine, Psychiatry and Psychology and more.
PLUS- where do the state MEDICAID dollars go? Other states get funding through the Medicaid program for community projects, alternative approaches such as Acupuncture, PEER drop in centers and more.
There’s a budget issue at the city level at least. However, at the meetings I’ve attended there’s never been a representative for our Medicaid Program.
I’m sure I could go on and on but one HUGE issue that disturbs me is how WA state educates its law enforcement. There’s only one police academy. Why isn’t law enforcement training integrated into our state educational system? I’ve read of deaths at the hands of police who hog tied a resident. Then “experts “ that trained those officers show up in court, at our expense, to defend this practice. Law enforcement didn’t put an end to this, the state legislature had to do that.
And if you want to take this further, seriously, this is on Murray, Cantwell and for me Adam Smith that here in 2025, there STILL are no national standards for police training. Experts in the field of Special Education and Psychiatry needs to be teaching safe, human techniques to either restrain a person OR consider being patient, getting others to safety, and DE-ESCALATING a community crisis.
Educators and health care workers do not have control of their documentation. They can’t alter, edit or withhold records. It’s never OK to just walk off without doing your charting. So, why isn’t there a federal mandate about the use of cameras as well as transparency and accountability at least for documentation which should be public record.
I’m going off on this as there still is a huge problem with public safety overall. We need quality “policing” as well as staffing communities with skilled responders who are more appropriate for community emergencies that DO NOT REQUIRE AN ARMED RESPONSE.
I’m so tired of going in circles and never seeing even a planned top to bottom, bottom to top, long term strategic plan for a state behavioral health safety network.
How can it just be shoved to the side??? Because??? No one really lives there.
Maybe preparing for the FIFA games will be the huge motivator. WOW!
Julie apoyó esta petición: Dedicate Resources to Restore and Revitalize Little SaigonI see firsthand how the state of our community affects families. I care because everyone deserves a safe and supportive environment to live in.
