Seattle Welcomes 2026 with New Year’s at the Needle Staff Report

Seattle’s EV Adoption Surges, but Charging Infrastructure Lags Behind Staff Report

eattle drivers are adopting electric vehicles at one of the fastest rates in the country, but the city’s public charging infrastructure has not kept pace. Recent growth in EV ownership, combined with slow expansion of charging stations, has created an emerging gap that is beginning to affect daily drivers, apartment dwellers, and visitors alike. While Seattle is often viewed as a national leader in sustainability, the city trails far behind regions such as Los Angeles when it comes to convenient and reliable charging access. A CITY BUYING EVS FASTER THAN IT CAN CHARGE THEM Washington State now has one of the highest per capita rates of electric vehicle ownership in the nation, and the Seattle metro area accounts for a large share of that growth. Local dealerships report wait lists for newer EV models, while Tesla registrations continue to climb year after year. Despite this momentum, the public charging network within Seattle’s city limits is expanding at a slower rate than the adoption curve. A recent City Light system update confirms the city now oversees 14 DC fast chargers and 58 Level 2 curbside chargers across 37 public sites. These numbers reflect only the infrastructure owned and operated by the City or the utility and do not include privately operated equipment accessible to the public. HOW LOS ANGELES PULLED AHEAD Los Angeles offers a useful comparison. Both cities have strong environmental commitments and high EV adoption. However, Los Angeles has invested heavily in partnerships with private businesses, parking operators, and storefronts. Instead of relying primarily on city owned stations, Los Angeles has thousands of chargers located at grocery stores, strip malls, office buildings, and public parking garages.

SEATTLE CENTER

s the final seconds of 2025 tick away, millions of eyes will turn toward a familiar silhouette on Seattle’s skyline. From living rooms in Queen Anne to coastlines hundreds of miles away, New Year’s at the Space Needle has become one of the most widely watched New Year’s celebrations on the West Coast — a burst of light, music, and shared excitement that reaches as far south as San Diego. What unfolds at midnight is more than a local fireworks show. Each year, the Space Needle’s New Year’s display is broadcast and streamed well beyond Washington, offering a synchronized countdown that allows viewers across the region to ring in the new year together. For a few electric minutes, Seattle becomes the visual heartbeat of the West Coast, sending out a wave of celebration, optimism, and unmistakable joy. For Queen Anne residents, the experience is both intimate and expansive. The Space Needle is a constant presence, rising above the neighborhood yearround. On New Year’s Eve, that familiar landmark takes on a different energy,

Viewers were wowed from San Diego to Seattle as the Pacific Time Zone rang in the new year with North America’s largest structurally launched pyrotechnic display transforming into a shared signal that a new chapter has arrived. Whether viewed from a living room window, a nearby street, or a favorite neighborhood vantage point, the moment feels personal. New Year’s at the Needle has evolved significantly over the years. What began

decades ago as a traditional fireworks display has grown into a carefully choreographed spectacle that combines light, pyrotechnics, and music.

Seattle Mayor-elect Wilson’s Staff Completes Standard Ethics Review Process By Spencer Pauley The Center Square

eattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson’s incoming senior staff is undergoing the city’s standard ethics disclosure and review process, a routine step for new administrations as officials transition into government roles. Wilson announced her senior leadership team earlier this month, drawing from a mix of nonprofit organizations, advocacy groups, and public sector experience. City ethics laws require that mayoral staff disclose prior professional relationships and, in some cases, seek waivers or recuse themselves from matters connected to former employers or organizations. “This is a team that’s ready to get to work,” Wilson said when announcing her staff. “They bring deep community ties, exceptional issue expertise, and most important of all, a track record of getting things done.” Under Seattle Municipal Code, individuals classified as

“covered persons,” including city officials and employees, are prohibited from participating in city decisions where they or certain related parties have a financial interest. The

“Barnett noted that this process is consistent with previous mayoral transitions” rules also apply when an official worked for an employer within the previous 12 months that has a financial interest in a matter before the city, or when participation could reasonably appear to impair independent judgment. In such cases, officials may request waivers or recuse themselves from specific decisions. The Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission (SEEC)

oversees compliance with these requirements. SEEC Executive Director Wayne Barnett said he has been in communication with members of the incoming mayor’s staff for more than a month. “Incoming administration officials have to disclose certain past ties, request waivers for others, and I generally recommend they get off most boards on which they sit,” Barnett said. “I am confident we will get Mayor-elect Wilson squared away.” Barnett noted that this process is consistent with previous mayoral transitions, including those under former Mayor Jenny Durkan and current Mayor Bruce Harrell, both of whom appointed staff with prior professional connections to organizations that work with the city. Policy experts say Wilson’s staffing approach reflects common practice in city government. Andrew Villeneuve,

founder and executive director of the Northwest Progressive Institute, said incoming officials frequently turn to candidates with nonprofit, advocacy, or private-sector experience. “There’s a lot of valuable experience in the nonprofit and private sectors, and that’s why incoming elected officials like Katie Wilson turn to those spheres for help with their transitions and staffing needs,” Villeneuve said. Wilson’s senior team is led by Brian Surratt, who will serve as deputy mayor. Surratt previously served as CEO of Greater Seattle Partners, a public-private partnership focused on regional economic development. Before that, he directed the Seattle Office of Economic Development, where he was involved in negotiating the city’s Climate Pledge Arena development agreement and helped lead Seattle’s effort to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. Following Surratt’s departure, Greater Seattle Partners named Rebecca Lovell interim president and CEO on Dec. 4. The organization maintains ongoing relationships with the city, including participation in Mayor Harrell’s One Seattle Civic Partnership.

Savvy Senior: How to Appeal a Medicare Coverage Denial By Jim Miller Dear Savvy Senior, What steps do I need to take to appeal a denied Medicare claim? —Frustrated Retiree

If you think that your plan’s refusal is jeopardizing your health, you can ask for an expedited (fast) request, where a Part D insurer must respond within 24 hours, and Medicare Advantage health plan must provide an answer within 72 hours. If you disagree with your plan’s decision, you can file an appeal, which like original Medicare, has five levels. If you disagree with a decision made at any level, you can appeal to the next level. For more information, along with step-by-step procedures on how to appeal Medicare, go to Medicare.gov/claims-appeals and click on “File an appeal.” Also make sure to keep photocopies and records of all communication with Medicare, whether written or oral, concerning your denial.

ORIGINAL MEDICARE APPEALS If you have original Medicare, start with your quarterly Medicare Summary Notice (MSN). This statement will list all the services, supplies and equipment billed to Medicare for your medical treatment and will tell you why a claim was denied. You can also check your Medicare claims early online at MyMedicare.gov, or by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. There are five levels of appeals for original Medicare, although you can initiate a “fast appeal” if you’re getting services from a hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health agency, outpatient rehabilitation facility or hospice, and the service is ending.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY JANE W.

Dear Frustrated, f you disagree with a coverage or payment decision made by Medicare, you can appeal, and you’ll be happy to know that many appeals are successful, so it’s definitely worth your time. But before going that route, talk with the doctor, hospital and Medicare to see if you can spot the problem and resubmit the claim. Many denials are caused by simple billing code errors by the doctor’s office or hospital. If, however, that doesn’t fix the problem, here’s how you appeal.

You have 120 days after receiving the MSN to request a “redetermination” by a Medicare contractor, who reviews the claim. Circle the items you’re disputing on the MSN, provide a written explanation of why you believe the denial should be reversed, and include any supporting documents like a letter from the doctor or hospital explaining why the charge should be covered. Then send it to the address on the form. You can also use the Medicare Redetermination Form. See CMS. gov/Medicare/CMS-Forms/CMSForms/downloads/CMS20027. pdf to download it or call

800-633-4227 to request a copy by mail. The contractor will usually decide within 60 days after receiving your request. If your request is denied, you can request for “reconsideration” from a different claims reviewer and submit additional evidence. A denial at this level ends the matter, unless the charges in dispute are at least $190 in 2025. In that case, you can request a hearing with an administrative law judge. The hearing is usually held by videoconference or teleconference. If you have to go to the next

level, you can appeal to the Medicare Appeals Council. Then, for claims of at least $1,900 in 2025, the final level of appeals is judicial review in U.S. District Court. ADVANTAGE AND PART D APPEALS If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage health plan or Part D prescription drug plan the appeals process is slightly different. With these plans you have only 65 days to initiate an appeal. And in both cases, you must start by appealing directly to the private insurance plan, rather than to Medicare.

NEED HELP? If you need help filing an appeal, you can appoint a representative (a relative, friend, advocate, attorney or someone else you trust) to help you. Or contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which has counselors that can file your appeal for you for free. To locate your local SHIP, go to ShipHelp.org or call 877-839-2675. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior. org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

The Aunts at Amelia Wynn

his happened years ago, before I lived in the Northwest, but it was one of those moments that made me want to live here, and it’s a story that is perfect to retell this time of year. Christmas is a time when it’s easier to miss certain members of my family, especially my two favorite aunts: Aunt Connie and Aunt Josephine. The whole strength of their characters comes to mind in December. When I was a kid, “the holidays” Mary Lou and all the Sanelli work they Falling require in a Awake family like mine, was taken seriously by my aunts. I can’t begin to tell you every food they made during the holidays, but there was always an overabundance of just about every Italian delicacy you can think of, everything made from scratch. Compared to them, I am a total slacker. I remember my Uncle Tony once telling Aunt Connie that her table setting was nice (salad and dinner fork on the left; salad knife, dinner knife, and soup spoon on the right; bread plate to the upper left; apéritif glass, wine glass to the upper right; ceramic centerpiece, napkins, napkin rings), and she said, “Nice? I tink dis is like saying the Mona Lisa is nice.” And then she slapped her palm against his forehead. I just loved it when she did that. It could have been a slap on his cheek, or to the back of his head, but what always came next was a kiss. She’d slap my sisters and me, too, then she’d hug us to her ample, aproned, belly. Picture it. I mean really picture being slapped (lightly) and loved (strongly) at the same time. It’s such an Italian thing. And I can almost feel me wanting to censure myself, fearing these slaps will sound like some kind of physical abuse in the here

and now. But trust me, my aunt didn’t have a mean bone in her plumb body, and I’m here to tell you, we wanted one of her loveslaps before the holiday was over - besides, I

“I mean really picture being slapped (lightly) and loved (strongly) at the same time.” care so little about what others think of me these days, and more about what I know is right, and defending my aunt’s slaps feels absolutely right. It sounds so weird, maybe even a little unbelievable, but we knew those slaps were love. And no one tires of love.

Aunt Josephine, on the other hand, never love-slapped anyone. She liked to say our skirts were too short, our jeans too tight, our hair too long or short, because she loved to complain, but she wasn’t mean either. Overly attentive, I think, is the best way to put it. She also liked to complain about Aunt Connie’s food, closing her eyes as she tasted, and shaking her head. It was a silly competitive game they’d play in the kitchen, because to each of these women, the kitchen was theirs, and theirs alone. But she always ate the food. She ate it like a horse. Well, the funniest thing is that one day I was walking through Winslow on Bainbridge Island (when the island was still a weekend getaway for me), when I saw two women sitting at a cafe that had red umbrellas set up on the sidewalk. They reminded

me of my aunts - the way they dressed from a bygone era; the way their handbags made me think pocketbook; the way they talked and talked and talked. Of course, I know now that the cafe is called Amelia Wynn Winery Bistro. But at the time, I knew only that it was the kind of place I wanted to return to with my friend Stephanie. She and I always look for the sort of place that lets us feel our best, and red umbrellas, I knew, would do that. That a vision of my aunts from Italy should come to me on a Northwest island may seem a bit strange, but life is like that. It’s like that all the time. I was rushing to the ferry so I was unable to stop and really take in the women, to enjoy them the way I would have if I was sitting at the next table. Not all of life’s surprises are meant to be written about. This is what I told myself. So I wouldn’t miss my ferry. But I couldn’t stop thinking of these women. They reminded me of who I am in a distinct way. I did pause long enough to notice how they leaned toward each other as they talked, and I remember thinking that my aunts would never dream of updating their wardrobes either. I might have even stared a little longer than I thought because they started to look at me. And I admit, I liked being noticed by these women, these aunts. Neither of them got up from the table to walk over with an openhearted look on her face or anything quite that movielike. But I wish they had. What I really want to say here is who can help remembering family this time of year? Even if it brings to mind your dad swearing his head off because he can’t untangle the lights, your mother driving herself crazy making pizzelles, your Uncle Tony smiling his wide, open smile before getting so drunk he falls asleep at the poker table before dinner is even served. My god, Uncle Tony. He always meant well.

Fewer Bags, More Plastic: The Unintended Outcome of Washington’s Bag Ban Staff Report

hen Washington’s statewide plastic bag ban went into effect in October 2021, the goal was clear: reduce the plastic entering landfills, waterways, and neighborhoods by eliminating lightweight single-use bags at grocery stores and retail checkouts. Yet more than four years later, plastic waste linked to shopping bags has not declined - and in some ways, has grown. A 2025 evaluation by Washington State University (WSU) shows that while the number of plastic bags in circulation dropped significantly, the total plastic used actually increased. FEWER BAGS, MORE PLASTIC BY WEIGHT According to the WSU report commissioned by the Washington Departments of Commerce and Ecology, the number of plastic carryout bags distributed by retailers fell by about 50% between 2021 and 2022. But because the law required that plastic bags be thicker and stronger, the result was a 17% increase in total plastic used by weight compared with the thinner bags previously in circulation. Under the ban, stores may no longer provide the ultra-thin 0.5-mil bags once commonplace at checkouts. Instead, they are allowed to sell “reusable” plastic bags with a minimum thickness of 2.25 mils - roughly four times heavier by material. The law also requires paper and plastic bags contain at least 40%

recycled content, and mandates a minimum bag fee of eight cents for plastic (and paper). Starting January 1, 2026, that fee increases to 12 cents for plastic bags in an effort to further discourage their use. EXPERTS WARN BAGS AREN’T BEING REUSED ENOUGH One of the central assumptions of the ban is that reusable bags must be used many times to justify their higher environmental cost in production. But the WSU report found that consumers are not reusing heavier bags at rates high enough to offset those costs, leading to greater overall plastic use rather than less. Eric Jessup, co-author of the WSU report, explained the policy disconnect: “We completely stand by the study we completed for the Washington State Departments of Commerce and Ecology… the findings show that thicker reusable plastic bags, unless reused extensively, increase plastic consumption compared to the thin bags they replaced.” The report authors noted that a thicker plastic bag would need to be reused many more times than most customers actually reuse them in order to produce a net environmental benefit — a threshold that, by the available evidence, is not being met.

remains valid, even if the evidence is incomplete. A departmental cover memo attached to the WSU report expressed reservations about whether available data truly reflects statewide behavior, citing insufficient measurements on bag usage, reuse, and litter patterns. A spokesperson for the agencies stated: “We need more information on bags used, reused, and littered in Washington before and after the bag ban took effect, before we can have a strong opinion based on data.” They also argue that eliminating all bag regulations could worsen environmental outcomes, and reaffirmed support for the current policy framework even while questioning the study’s analysis.

from stores for years. Since the statewide law took effect, many Seattle retailers have reverted to offering thick plastic bags that meet state standards but resemble the forms once banned locally. Maggie Yuse, Senior Policy Advisor at Seattle Public Utilities, said: “Thick plastic bags create unnecessary plastic waste and pollution, pose challenges for our recycling program, and undermine our city’s success in building a culture of waste reduction and reuse.” Yuse and Seattle officials argue that a loophole in state law — which exempts thicker reusable plastics — has allowed this backsliding, even though these bags were intended to be used many times yet often are not.

LOCAL CONTEXT: SEATTLE, RECYCLING CHALLENGES, AND LOOPHOLES Seattle implemented its own plastic bag restrictions in 2011 and saw thin plastic bags disappear

THE BIGGER PACKAGING PROBLEM REMAINS The plastic bag ban addresses only a narrow slice of Washington’s broader plastic-pollution challenge. Plastic waste from produce

STATE AGENCIES PUSH BACK, BUT DATA GAPS PERSIST Officials from the Departments of Commerce and Ecology emphasize that the bag ban’s intent

bags, product packaging, food service containers, and online retail shipments continues to grow, and none of these categories are covered under the existing law. Numerous environmental analyses suggest that without comprehensive approaches that include producer responsibility, minimum recycled content mandates, and packaging redesign, incremental policies like bag bans have limited impact on total plastic waste. Furthermore, research from other regions shows the policy design matters: bans that eliminate all plastic bag types tend to reduce bag litter more effectively, while partial bans with exemptions often blunt measurable progress. WHERE THE POLICY GOES NEXT As lawmakers review the 2025 WSU report and adjustments to Washington’s bag law take effect in 2026, the central policy questions are shifting. Should the state tighten definitions of “reusable”? Should fees be higher to discourage plastic bag purchases? Or should the law evolve to encompass broader categories of plastic packaging? For now, Washington’s experience illustrates a fundamental lesson in environmental policy: well-intended regulations can produce surprising consequences if their design does not align with how people behave and how materials are measured. The number of bags used is only part of the story - the weight and lifecycle impact of the materials themselves matter profoundly.

Drive Sober This New Year’s So Everyone Makes It Home Safe Submitted

s the New Year approaches, celebrations across Seattle bring friends, family, and neighbors together to mark the start of a fresh calendar year. But while the season is meant to be joyful, it is also one of the most dangerous times on Washington roads. State officials are urging drivers to plan ahead, drive sober, and take advantage of free public transit options available on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Impaired driving continues to be a leading contributor to fatal crashes in Washington. Each year, hundreds of families lose loved ones to crashes that could have been prevented. During the holidays, those losses are felt even more deeply, when traditions and gatherings bring reminders of empty seats and missed milestones. One such loss is still felt by the family of Stacy Gammons-Ankerfelt, a dedicated elementary school teacher who was killed in July 2012 by an impaired driver. Stacy was on her way to pick up supplies for her students at Scenic Hill Elementary in Kent when she was struck and killed in front of her own home. Her sister, Ashley Bonus, remembers Stacy as an educator who gave everything to her students and community. “She ensured each and every student felt safe, loved and knew she was invested in their future,” Ashley said. The impact of that loss continues, especially during the holidays. “The holidays changed for my family the day Stacy was killed by an impaired driver,” Ashley said. “I carry her with me every day — not just in sadness, but with purpose. Please drive sober, so no other family has to face an empty seat or a lifetime of remembering someone the way we do.” To reduce the risk of impaired driving crashes during one of the busiest travel periods of the year, law enforcement agencies

across Washington will conduct extra DUI patrols from December 12 through New Year’s Day 2025. “Stacy dedicated her life to helping students and supporting her community,” said Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste.

“In 2024, 346 people were killed in crashes involving impaired drivers in Washington.” “Her loss underscores the devastating impact impaired driving has on families across our state. Our troopers work every day to prevent these tragedies, and we urge every driver to make safe, responsible choices.” The urgency is backed by sobering data.

In 2024, 346 people were killed in crashes involving impaired drivers in Washington. Research shows that drivers with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.05 percent or higher are twice as likely to be involved in a crash compared to sober drivers, due to reduced reaction time and impaired judgment. For Queen Anne residents heading out to celebrate, there is a simple and safe alternative to driving. Public transit is free across King County on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, making it easier for people to get home without getting behind the wheel. Buses, light rail, and other transit services provide a reliable option for those celebrating locally or downtown. “Safe roads rely on the choices each of us makes before we get behind the wheel,” said Shelly Baldwin, director of the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. “Planning a

sober ride takes only a moment, but it can prevent tragedies that families live with for a lifetime.” Officials encourage residents to plan ahead by using free transit, arranging a sober driver, using rideshare services, or staying overnight rather than risking a drive while impaired. Friends and family are also urged to speak up if someone plans to drive after drinking. As Queen Anne rings in the New Year, officials emphasize that celebrations should end with everyone arriving home safely. Choosing not to drive impaired — and taking advantage of free transit — is one of the simplest ways to protect neighbors, families, and the community.

Family-Friendly Ways to Celebrate New Year’s Eve at Home Staff Report

or many families, the best New Year’s Eve celebration happens at home. Skipping crowded events, late nights, and complicated logistics can make the holiday more enjoyable for everyone, especially families with young children or multigenerational households. Staying in does not mean missing out. With a little creativity, celebrating at home can feel festive, memorable, and far more relaxed. CREATE A COUNTDOWN THAT FITS YOUR HOUSEHOLD Midnight is not a requirement. Many families choose an earlier countdown that works with bedtime routines and energy levels. Pick a time that makes sense, whether it is 7, 8, or 9 p.m., and treat it like the real thing. Turn on music, gather everyone in the living room, and count down together. Sparkling juice, cider, or hot cocoa in special glasses can make the moment feel official. Younger kids get the thrill of the countdown without the meltdown that comes with staying up too late. Some families even celebrate multiple countdowns throughout the evening, especially if guests include children of different ages. Each countdown becomes a small celebration, keeping the energy fun and inclusive. TURN THE EVENING INTO A THEME NIGHT Themes help structure the evening and

EV ADOPTION

From page 1

This business led expansion has created a more consistent charging experience across neighborhoods. Chargers are visible in convenient locations where people already shop and work. Because many of the stations are operated by private companies that treat charging as an amenity or a value added service, the network grows even when city budgets are tight. Seattle has not pursued that strategy on the same scale. As a result, public charging remains concentrated in a few dense corridors and is sparse in many residential districts. GROWTH WITHIN SEATTLE, BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH Seattle has added chargers through City Light projects, City owned parking lots, and a small number of curbside pilot installations. Newer developments are beginning to include EV readiness as part of construction. Private networks such as Electrify America and EVgo have begun to expand in the region, but the rollout is slower than what neighboring cities and states have seen. The city is also preparing for the federal investments connected to the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, which will bring new stations to major travel corridors. These additions will help long distance travel but will not solve the shortage of neighborhood chargers. Even with these improvements, demand continues to outpace supply. During evenings and weekends, many public

give everyone something to look forward to. Pajama parties are a popular choice, especially for families leaning into a cozy night at home. Other ideas include decade themes, favorite movie nights, or dress-up evenings where kids raid costume bins or closets. Letting children help choose the theme gives them a sense of ownership and excitement. Themes can be simple. Matching snacks, decorations, or music are often enough to make the night feel special without creating extra work.

MAKE FOOD PART OF THE FUN Instead of a formal dinner, many families opt for interactive food that feels celebratory but low pressure. Build-your-own pizza stations, taco bars, Korean BBQ, or snack

chargers are either fully occupied or temporarily unavailable due to maintenance or communication issues. Drivers without home charging rely heavily on these stations, and the lack of availability has become a barrier to broader EV adoption. WHY BUSINESSES NEED TO JOIN THE EFFORT Experts and transportation planners emphasize that Seattle cannot meet its EV goals through public investment alone. Business participation is essential if Seattle hopes to match cities like Los Angeles. Grocery stores, mixed use developments, parking operators, and employers hold the keys to large scale growth because they control the spaces where drivers naturally spend time. For many residents, a workplace charger is the difference between owning an EV and staying with a gas powered vehicle. For shoppers, a charger at a local business can turn a quick errand into a meaningful recharge. For renters, access at apartment garages is often the only way to charge at all. Installing even a small number of chargers can attract customers, improve employee satisfaction, and provide a revenue stream for property owners. Yet many Seattle businesses have been slow to participate, often citing installation costs or uncertainty about long term demand. THE ROLE OF THE CITY City policy makers have acknowledged the need for faster expansion. Several initiatives aim to make EV infrastructure more accessible, but permitting complexities, limited curbside space, and high

electrical upgrade costs continue to slow progress. Seattle’s efforts to create EV ready building standards are promising, but the benefits will arrive gradually as new buildings replace older ones. Transportation advocates argue that the city could accelerate adoption by streamlining permitting, offering clearer incentives, and partnering directly with businesses. Others suggest that Seattle should pursue a large-scale curbside charging program similar to what New York City has begun. NYC began with 100 curbside Level 2 chargers placed directly on neighborhood streets, then committed to building more than 10,000 curbside chargers by 2030. These stations let apartment dwellers charge near their homes without relying on private garages, and they are used heavily across all five boroughs. LOOKING AHEAD Seattle is not falling behind in enthusiasm for electric vehicles. More residents want to make the switch, and EVs are becoming a familiar sight in every neighborhood. What is missing is the charging network that makes widespread adoption practical for all drivers, not only those who can plug in at home. As Seattle prepares for its next round of transportation and climate planning, the solution will likely require collaboration. The city can continue building public chargers, but the real growth will happen when businesses, property managers, and employers invest alongside public agencies. Seattle has the demand. Now it needs the infrastructure to support it.

boards allow everyone to customize their plate. Kids enjoy being involved, and adults appreciate the flexibility. Dessert can become an activity as well. Decorating cookies, assembling sundaes, or sharing a special treat saved just for New Year’s Eve adds a sense of occasion. If there happens to be leftover holiday fudge or a certain newspaper’s recipe making the rounds… it fits right in. PLAN ACTIVITIES THAT BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER Board games, card games, or simple party games help keep the evening moving. Rotating activities ensures younger kids and older family members stay engaged. Cooperative games are especially useful, as they encourage teamwork rather than competition. Craft stations are another popular option. Making party hats, noise makers, or simple decorations gives kids something to do with their hands and creates keepsakes from the night. Older kids might enjoy creating playlists, trivia games, or video montages from the past year. REFLECT ON THE YEAR IN AGE-APPROPRIATE WAYS New Year’s Eve offers a natural pause to reflect. Families can share favorite moments from the past year, talk about what they are grateful for, or acknowledge challenges they worked through together. For younger children, this might be as simple as naming a

The result is a celebration designed to be enjoyed without tickets, barricades, or a long night out. That accessibility is part of what makes the event so widely loved. While some people gather outdoors to watch, many others celebrate from home, hosting small gatherings or counting down in pajamas with family and friends. The live broadcast allows people to participate whether they are in Seattle, elsewhere in Washington, or hundreds of miles down the coast. It is a rare moment when everyone is watching the same thing at the same time. Of course, this is Seattle, and one variable always looms large: the weather. Each year, residents glance anxiously at the forecast, quietly hoping that the precipitation behaves just long enough for the Needle to shine through. Clear skies offer sweeping views from Queen Anne and beyond, while low clouds and rain can soften the spectacle. Even so, longtime viewers know that a little mist has never stopped Seattle from celebrating. In many ways, the uncertainty is part of the tradition. Umbrellas are kept close, jackets stay zipped, and optimism remains intact. Whether the night is crisp and clear or damp and gray, the countdown still carries the same energy. When midnight arrives, the mood is less about perfect visibility and more about the shared moment itself. Public safety and planning remain central to the event. City agencies coordinate traffic management, emergency services, and transit operations well in advance of New Year’s Eve.

Wilson’s incoming chief of staff, Kate Brunette Kreuzer, previously served as director of external affairs at Futurewise, a statewide land-use nonprofit focused on housing affordability. Kreuzer left the organization on Nov. 15 after seven years. During her tenure, Futurewise partnered with Seattle City Council offices on housing and comprehensive planning efforts.

favorite memory. Older kids may enjoy writing down goals or hopes for the year ahead. Some families create a tradition of writing notes to their future selves or making a small time capsule to open the following year. These quiet moments often become the most meaningful part of the evening. BALANCE STRUCTURE WITH FLEXIBILITY One of the advantages of celebrating at home is the freedom to adapt. If kids lose interest in one activity, move on. If energy dips earlier than expected, wrap up the night without guilt. New Year’s Eve does not need to follow a strict schedule to be successful. Parents often find that lowering expectations leads to a more enjoyable night for everyone. The goal is connection, not perfection. GIVE THE CELEBRATION A SOFT LANDING Planning something small to look forward to on New Year’s Day can make the evening feel complete. A special breakfast, a family walk, or a relaxed movie morning helps extend the celebration without requiring a late night. It also gives everyone permission to wind down instead of pushing through exhaustion. Celebrating New Year’s Eve at home allows families to focus on what matters most: being together. Whether the night includes crafts, games, reflection, or simply shared laughter, welcoming the New Year does not require going anywhere at all. Sometimes the best memories are made right where you are.

While the Space Needle is not a public viewing venue, surrounding areas often see increased activity earlier in the evening. Officials encourage residents to plan ahead and take advantage of public transportation, especially with free transit available on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. For many Queen Anne residents, the best seat in the house is close to home. A short walk, a familiar overlook, or simply staying indoors with a clear line of sight can be the perfect way to experience the event. The Needle’s role as a neighborhood fixture makes the celebration feel less like a distant production and more like something happening right outside the door. There is something undeniably uplifting about the experience. As the lights climb the Needle and the final seconds are counted aloud, the city collectively exhales. Cheers erupt in living rooms, glasses clink, kids stay up a little later than usual, and for a moment, optimism feels easy. It is a rush of joy — a brief but powerful reminder that shared celebration still matters. New Year’s at the Needle has become a ritual of release and renewal. It invites reflection on the year that has passed and excitement for the one ahead. For longtime Seattle residents, it is a comforting constant. For newcomers, it is often one of their first shared traditions with the city. For viewers watching from afar, it is a glimpse of Seattle at its most vibrant and welcoming. As 2026 arrives, the Space Needle will once again do what it does best: bring people together. From Queen Anne to San Diego and everywhere in between, the countdown marks not just the turning of the calendar, but a collective moment of happiness — one we are all hoping comes with just enough clear sky to see it shine.

Staying on Course with New Year’s Resolutions PLAN FOR TREATS, NOT PERFECTION. Avoiding every indulgence is not realistic, especially during winter. If your neighbor proudly drops off a plate of Festive Fudge and insists the recipe is foolproof, it is okay to enjoy a small piece. What matters is not letting one treat turn into an excuse to abandon your goals entirely. Balance always beats restriction.

Staff Report

he start of a new year brings fresh motivation and good intentions. Whether the goal is eating better, moving more, saving money, or simply slowing down, New Year’s resolutions often feel achievable in January. The challenge comes a few weeks later, when routines return, motivation fades, and temptations appear. Sometimes those temptations are literally printed on the page next to you. If you are reading this alongside a rich fudge recipe, you are not alone. Many resolutions do not fail because people lack willpower. They fail because expectations are unrealistic. Staying on course is less about strict rules and more about building habits that can survive real life.

START SMALL AND STAY SPECIFIC. Vague goals like “be healthier” or “get organized” are easy to abandon because they lack direction. Instead, focus on actions you can repeat. Walking three times a week, cooking one extra meal at home, or setting aside ten minutes a day to reset your space are realistic starting points. Small goals are easier to keep and easier to build on. MAKE YOUR RESOLUTION FIT YOUR LIFE. A plan that ignores your schedule will not last long. If mornings are chaotic, evening workouts may work better. If cooking every night feels overwhelming, aim for two planned meals a week instead of seven. Resolutions succeed when they work with your routine rather than fighting it.

TRACK EFFORT, NOT JUST RESULTS. Many people quit because progress feels slow. Instead of focusing only on outcomes like weight, savings, or productivity, track the actions you control. Did you move your body today. Did you make a thoughtful choice. Those habits matter more than instant results. EXPECT SETBACKS AND KEEP GOING. Missing a day or slipping up is not failure. It is part of the process. The most successful resolutions are not perfect. They are persistent. Getting back on track quickly is far more important than never straying. New Year’s resolutions are not about denying joy or skipping every sweet thing in sight. They are about building habits that support the life you want. Enjoy the fudge. Read the recipe. Then turn the page and keep moving forward.
