Fundraising Update: Week 2

A million thanks to everyone who already gave to our fundraising drive. Thanks to your generosity, we're over 1/3 of the way towards our $10,000 goal. Over 70 of you have donated already, in numbers small and large. So thank you.

Several of you have generously done recurring monthly donations as well, which is fantastic. A few dollars a month goes a long way. For those who haven't given yet, we hope you'll consider doing so by the end of the month. We want to move on hiring our reporter and getting the ball rolling in August. Every little bit helps.

We're not generally ones for horn-tooting, but here's a really nice quote from Bellevue Councilmember John Chelminak, on the occasion of David Lawson's investigation into Bellevue's Transit Master Plan:

After reassurances from staff that the city wouldn't move forward with a running project without the most up-to-date ridership projections, the council approved the transit master plan unanimously.

"If you can convince the Seattle Transit Blog you've done really good work on transit, you have," said Councilmember John Chelminiak.

Can we get to 100 donors this week? It's up to you! Thanks in advance for your support.
