Though the era of US economic and political superpower may be slowly coming to an end, the economic and political influence of the Puget Sound (i.e. greater Seattle) region, as well as a dozen or so other American metropolitan areas, may be at the beginning of a sustained period of ...

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 ...
