Yes, by all means, the globe should return to its original perch at the corner of 6th and Wall Street. Context is fundamentally important in historic preservation, and the cylinder that was the entrance to the PI's headquarters for nearly 40 years was the globe's first and most legitimate home. ...

Your 6 bullet points are fine, but you've missed the one most important principle that dictates the success or failure of any public open space. What happens in the midst of a park or plaza or courtyard is not nearly as significant as what happens at its edges. The perimeter ...

Indeed, Ronald Reagan "changed the trajectory" of America, just as faulty "O" ring seals changed the trajectory of the space shuttle Challenger.

Right - BlueLight says the UW's new College of the Environment "is nothing but a political organization." That would be a political organization comprised of the following UW core units: The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, the Department of Earth and Space Sciences, the ...

The Seafirst Tower (as it was known from 1969-1986) was an excellent example of the goodwill a corporation can cultivate in its community by investing in fine public art integrated with fine architecture. Don Winkelmann of NBBJ (only 29 years old at the time) was the design architect of the ...

Those of us living in Queen Anne / Magnolia still marvel at the shortsightedness of the decision to squander QA High School, but what's done is done. Now that Seattle has turned the corner in establishing truly mixed-use urban neighborhoods in Belltown, Uptown, and South Lake Union, it's time to ...

Nice piece, TM. The question that's been nagging at me is this: When Washington State negotiated $billions in incentives to compel Boeing to assemble the 787 in Everett, I assume the expectation was that we'd see all of the 787s built here. Now that Boeing has decided to send +/- ...

While it is counterintuitive to think that losing an eastbound lane on Mercer will not result in a loss of capacity, I do believe that reestablishing the grid will take a great deal of east-bound traffic off of Mercer. As a Queen Anne resident, I can't tell you how often ...

Two points I'd like to add: First, Local ownership is particularly meaningful when you consider the economic impact to our community. If I head across town to buy my copy of Spector's book at Barnes & Noble, the profits are shipped off to the corporation's headquarters on Fifth Avenue in ...

David asks for suggestions of other candidates. How about the Magnolia Bridge replacement project, which is partially planned, still several years from construction, and looking right now like a big lost opportunity? (See www.seattle.gov/transportation/docs/magnolia/mb_Open_house_boards_Oct07_v3.pdf) This is a great opportunity for a great pedestrian experience and greatly improved urban connections: 1. ...
