Tuesday/ broken clouds and sun breaks

There was a dusting of snow on the shadowy side of my garage roof this morning.
It warmed up to 43 °F (6 °C) later on— the bare minimum to going out for a walk.

This Identifiable Flying Object is a Boeing 777-300ER (twin-jet) from Emirates Airlines. It had just taken off at 3.38 pm for its 14 hour 50 min flight to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. [Information from the Flightradar24 app on my phone].

I like the square windows in the gray and turquoise siding. I’m approaching the corner of East Union St and 19th Ave (and thinking brr .. ! it’s time to head back home).

A lamp post sticker promoting I-135. (It’s a special election in Seattle for which the ballots were due today). Initiative 135 asks voters to approve the Seattle Social Housing Developer, an agency that would develop, own, acquire and maintain so-called “social housing” in Seattle.
It’s not clear if this initiative will move the needle on affordable housing. There is no funding mechanism written into the initiative’s language (to prevent it from being tossed out by the courts). If approved, the developer will immediately be able to apply for grants and philanthropic dollars.
