For many folks in Seattle it feels like the infrastructure isn’t quite there yet, but the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is working to install more charging stations in the city, and if you’re willing to follow some simple guidelines it’s actually pretty easy to charge vehicles at residences and on public streets.

The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA) has been reviewing Ash Grove's requested permit modification, which would remove the 30% daily limit of burning tires for fuel, representing a potential increase in dangerous emissions for the Duwamish Valley.
