What a sad but true statement: "Other regions (Austin, Denver, Philadelphia) are starting to far outpace Seattle in political leadership and strategic positioning. These are rising or rebounding cities, while Seattle is a complacent region..."

A vote is not a good idea in my opinion. More Seattle process is not a solution. The tunnel is a compromise solution that meets the important priorities of (1) creating a wonderful waterfront park and (2) preserving freight and transportation mobility and (3) replacing a viaduct that is an ...
