Today we turned soil in Rainier Beach. That’s right – “soil-turning,” not a groundbreaking – because we’re not breaking anything in Rainier Beach. We’re building. 💪🏽

The Tubman Center for Health & Freedom broke ground on a $42 million, 26,000 sq ft health center near the Rainier Beach light rail station. When it opens in 2027, it will serve 12,000 patients annually with primary care, behavioral health, acupuncture, naturopathic medicine, and more – holistic, culturally responsive care for our most underserved neighbors.

This is what community-led healthcare looks like. So proud to celebrate this moment with Tubman Health. 💜

Nearly four years in and Windmill Farms mushroom workers are still standing strong in their fight for union recognition – expanding the boycott, pushing for legislation, and taking their fight all the way to the Canadian private equity firm that owns the company. Their courage is an inspiration to workers everywhere. Stand with them and boycott Windmill Farms mushrooms. ✊🍄

is proud to stand with the workers of as they fight for their union at Windmill farms. Today marks their 4th annual luncheon bringing together elected and union leaders to hear directly from the workers who literally put food on many of our tables. Their fight is just and the workers united will never be defeated.

“What does it profit a man to be able to eat at an integrated lunch counter if he doesn’t earn enough money to buy a hamburger?”– Dr. King

Makini Howell has spent her life answering that question.

Chef. Author. Activist. Restaurateur. Policy champion. She helped win Seattle’s minimum wage, paid sick leave, and paid family leave, all as a small business owner who knew it was right.

Proud to honor her as District 8’s MLK Service Award recipient. Congratulations, Makini! 💜

King County is the best place to work because we have the best workers. This year’s labor summit brought together the King County Exec, King County Council, and our labor partners to share the direction the county is headed and what we all need to continue being in relationship with each other. It’s because Labor has a seat at the table that we are able to building a strong future for all King County Residents.

Mosqueda statement following Sound Transit Board vote on 20-year financial plan; West Seattle Light Rail advances

“Today’s vote paves the way to bring light rail to West Seattle, to build the spine from Everett to Tacoma, to help advance the infill stations at Graham Street and Boeing Access Road, and commits Sound Transit to ultimately get to Ballard and Issaquah.

For West Seattle, this vote makes it possible to officially initiate early pre-construction work, geotechnical testing such as drilling to test soil stability for the bridge foundation, contracting with critical engineering and design consultants, laying the groundwork for us to be able to build the promised light rail in the near future. West Seattle light rail expansion is now poised to enter a new phase of project development, made possible by cost savings work done by Sound Transit that has already yielded near $2.6 billion in savings while retaining ridership and avoiding impacts on many businesses and residential properties.

The plan includes funding to get to 100% design on Ballard, and the adopted amendments further solidify Sound Transit’s commitment to fulfilling the ST3 proposal with a transparent process and framework for building light rail to Ballard. Our work will continue to generate greater cost savings and financial support needed to deliver on that commitment. The cost savings work the Sound Transit team has done on the West Seattle plan shows what’s possible when we demand creative thinking and aggressively pursue cost-saving options: properties avoided, ridership retained, and billions saved.”
