Guess who’s one of the two holdouts. And the other isn’t far away, either.

Alex Pedersen has held zero Transportation and Utilities Committee meetings since March. https://twitter.com/MultimodalAlex/status/1281057142267473920
Which is to say, Alex Pedersen is not doing his damn job. Email him and other members of the Transportation Committee to urge them to confirm the advisory board members. https://twitter.com/MultimodalAlex/status/1281056886322675712
One of my favorite people in the book business is retiring after 48 years: bookseller extraordinaire Michael Coy of @thirdplacebooks (and the late, lamented Bailey/Coy and M Coy Books). And OF COURSE he has book recommendations for you! https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/books/michael-coy-a-mainstay-in-seattles-book-scene-is-retiring-after-48-years-in-the-business/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=article_inset_1.1 via @seattletimes
In a time when everything is strange, the bookstore will seem even more so without Michael at the helm. We'll miss you, Michael – enjoy retirement! @ThirdPlaceBooks @RavennaBlog https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/books/michael-coy-a-mainstay-in-seattles-book-scene-is-retiring-after-48-years-in-the-business/
It’s a big rock.
