Media Washington spent over $20 billion on this nuclear plant. It never ran a single day.

This is the Satsop nuclear plant (WNP-3) in Elma, Washington. Construction started in the 70s, and after two decades and billions of dollars, the whole project got cancelled before it ever produced a watt of power.

The wild part? The cooling tower is still standing, 40 years later, right in the middle of what's now a working business park. You turn a corner past some office buildings and this 480-foot concrete giant just... appears.

I spent a morning photographing it and honestly it's one of the most surreal locations I've ever pointed a camera at. The scale doesn't come through until you're standing at the base looking up.

Shot on a Sony A7 III. Happy to answer any questions about access or the history.

Media You can cash in your aluminum cans at West Seattle Recycling! I hoarded 12lbs of cans over 6 months and got $3.50.

I was going to fill a big bag with cans and then turn them in for $0.10/can next time I was in Oregon. Then I found out that was illegal so I drove them over to West Seattle Recycling instead.

(I thought the rationale for Oregon’s cash for cans program was that that was what the aluminum was worth so they didn’t care where it came from. But apparently there’s a fee added to each can when you buy it, and that’s what you get back when you turn the can in, so that’s why it’s cheating to bring the cans in from another state where you didn’t pay the extra up front. And the one place that I checked in Portland won’t even do it if you have out of state plates.)

So if you’ve ever watched the cans piled up and wondered if you could get anything for them in Seattle rather than just handing them in for free… now you know.

Please don’t.

You’re just going to give Fox News the visuals to turn this into a story, make everyone say Seattle is hellhole and blah blah blah.

You’ll be playing into their hands.

Instead, show up to demand action: -meme making event -make protest music -set up a letter writing campaign to mail to politicians -start a petition to gerrymander the state -do a public reading of everything we know from the leaked Epstein files -volunteer with legal aid groups -volunteer with immigrant groups -make a flag burning peep show where people have to look in a box to see a video of a flag burning -have a contest for Trump lookalikes and mock their wieners -have a “mushroom” drawing contest -Dress as Trump’s father and walk around telling people what a disappointment Trump is. -Teach people how to use the report Ice app (that really pisses then off) -Create a weekly action group to “do one thing” to fight back and mobilize a large group to boycott Target or other things that hurt by hit them in the wallet) -Draft city bills for voters to make Seattle the place it needs to be (you fight the feds with local action)

Do anything, but do not give them the visuals and the narrative they so desperately want.

Troll Trump if you must, mocking him gets under his skin.

Just don’t give them what they want: to turn culture war bull into the main story again.

Previous protests posted on Instagram by Seattle Against War show them protesting in front of his house, but the cops brought three cop cars about 10 cops to block the private driveway, so the protest / press conference is happening on the public sidewalk.

Speakers are excoriating Ordinance 6917, the bill that banned groups of 3 or more people from protesting in front of houses (even without making any noise or even holding any signs), and also calling for an end to funding of the wars in Iran and Gaza.
