Polite Seattle once obsessed about a celebrity couple's sex life

Posted Thu, Mar 1, 12:16 a.m.

Excellent article, Knute. I was just a tot when Bobo died but did have the chance to go see him at the zoo. My grandmother took me and my brother there a few times a year and he was her favorite. Later, we used to go see him at MOHI ...

Arena or Amazon: Does Seattle know what's important?

Posted Mon, Feb 20, 12:19 p.m.

I totally forgot the most important question (according to the author). It's found in the sub-head "Does Seattle know what's important?" Ughhhh Two independent private groups want to initiate project within city limits and the author asks "Does Seattle know what's important". Ridiculous.

Arena or Amazon: Does Seattle know what's important?

i have criticized Judy Lightfoot for writing articles like this. Was she involved in writing this piece or is the tendency to pose a bunch of unanswered questions and pass this off as journalism something the publisher condones, encourages and/or enforces?

Arena or Amazon: Does Seattle know what's important?

Posted Mon, Feb 20, 11:53 a.m.

The mostly unanswered questions posted by the author: 1. What does this say about us? 2. ...how does this reflect how we will negotiate with the NBA, the arena ownership group, and others in the coming weeks? 3. Will we be optimistic while at the same time maintaining a healthy ...

Arena or Amazon: Does Seattle know what's important?

Posted Mon, Feb 20, 11:45 a.m.

I think this is a silly and foolish article. This piece is based on some premise that the city has to choose between the two proposals. The title says it all: "Arena or Amazon". Creating a fictional conflict between two unrelated proposals then asking a bunch of questions about them ...

KUOW Ices Cliff Mass

Posted Sat, May 21, 1:59 a.m.

KUOW has gone too far this time in shielding the public from intelligent commentary which might include critiques of the University of Washington educational failings. Removing Cliff Mass in this way and for this reason is beyond offensive. I won't rant nor rage. I will simply remove KUOW from consideration ...

The story of psychiatric meds is all about progress. Isn't it?

Posted Mon, May 16, 5:46 p.m.

Judy, You are an excellent teacher, so my brother says. I certainly take him at his word. However, this publication and you, yourself, seem to confuse asking open-ended questions as reporting the news. It seems every time I come to this site, the headlines are some inane open question regarding ...

This is my letter to the editor regarding this piece. ---------------------------------------------------- I've recently run into energetic criticism of the tunnel project downtown. Having long a...ppreciated the curious nature of well-funded political initiatives in the region, I've become more attuned to the quality of the arguments being thrown around. Today I ...

Transit train wreck: Revealing bus-route ridership

Posted Tue, Jun 24, 11:52 p.m.

Planning Growth or Throwing Marshmallows to Hungry Developers: This article was rather shrill which makes me question whether I'm being misled. Upon reflection, the arguments seem pretty flawed. The Puget Sound region has been designed around highways, strip malls, and the whims of developers. This leads to higher growth in ...
