On its face a dumb question but also maybe an extremely smart question

Trump: "Any questions?" "How was the golf tournament?" Trump: "Very good. Because I won. It's good to win. You heard I won, right? Did you hear I won? I like to win." "What's your handicap?" Trump: "Very low. I've a very low handicap." (full video here: https://t.co/hTbncoImho ) https://t.co/X15G6gJmHA

The Seattle City Council passed a resolution "endorsing a holistic approach to public safety" -- saying the city formally disagrees with talk of defunding the police. The most interesting thing about it is that councilmembers Mercedes Rinck and Strauss weren't at the vote.

My feeling about the Uncle Sam billboard is it was always a merciful and entertaining interruption in the drive to and from Portland and I've been disappointed in its stagnant message for the last couple of years. https://t.co/wP4f0p5Jve

The reason baseball is the best is it’s just there all the time. Tune in, tune out, pay full attention, keep it on in the background, listen while gardening. Truly a lifestyle sport.

The Mariners might not be good this year but they've acted like a good organization for the last four days or so so at least we have that

BREAKING: Catcher Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners are finalizing a six-year, $105 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. Deal starts this season and buys out three years of free agency. A huge deal to keep a franchise catcher in Seattle.

It’s because he was getting too close to The Truth

Seattle Mariners @Mariners

Thank you for everything you've done for our organization, fans and the community, Mitch. Wishing you nothing but the best in the next chapter of your journey. https://t.co/225rlO3M5Q

Fantastic news. I'll pay that in a heartbeat. Go to hell, Fubo.

The Mariners should cut Mitch Haniger and put him in charge of monitoring chem trails over T-Mobile Park

Seattle Times Sports @SeaTimesSports

The Mariners have a roster squeeze coming, and Rowdy Tellez, who has a big bat and bigger personality, is right in the middle of it. Will he make the final cut? From @ByTimBooth: https://t.co/Ct1qM823rr

There's a path to Sara Nelson's Sodo housing bill passing. Saka and Moore both have amendments that would add conditions (no housing west of 1st Ave. S, stating the city's commitment to industrial lands) but maintain its basic goal of building on the Hansen property near T-Mobile

To capitalize on the uncertainty here, Moore told me today she wouldn’t likely know how she’s voting until right before Tuesday’s meeting

David Kroman @KromanDavid

The Tuesday vote on Sara Nelson's stadium district housing rezone will be one of the more interesting that I can remember. The outcome likely comes down to Rob Saka and Cathy Moore and the amount of lobbying happening right now suggests it's still a jump ball.
