uberxUpdate: Seattle legalizes Uber, Lyft to operate without caps

We’ve just settled in here at City Hall as Seattle’s lawmakers prepare to set regulations that will legalize transportation startups like Lyft, UberX and Sidecar.

You can read more about today’s meeting in our report from earlier today, but here’s the low-down: Councilmembers plan to discuss and potentially vote to approve a revised ordinance that came out of a negotiation process organized by Mayor Ed Murray.

You’ll notice lots of orange shirts in attendance today at the Council Chamber, but those wearing them aren’t related to the TNC issue. Instead, there’s about 100 or so here in support of elephants suffering at Woodland Park Zoo.

Anyways, the TNC issue is up first on today’s agenda, so follow along with our live blog below:
