Seattle's tunnel quandary: not a perfect vote, but a vote

Posted Thu, Jun 2, 4:06 p.m.

Just a gentle correction, "initiative" versus "referendum". This article about the vote in August used the word "initiative" throughout it. It is a "referendum" however that is really being talked about. Knute, you are hardly alone in conflating the two, I see it constantly in the media. The thing to ...

Seattle's tunnel referendum: hot war or cold?

Posted Mon, May 23, 10:02 a.m.

The problem with Brewster Denny's assessment (see below), is that it is an uninformed understanding of what has gone down, the real meaning of Section 6, and its legal implications, that it is a vital to ensuring that the tunnel is built. Without this notice, the tunnel project is going ...

Waterfront Park: Courted by Corner

Posted Fri, May 20, 4:05 p.m.

Whoops! One little problem - no SEPA compliance in this matter, again by the City of Seattle, and another little legal problem - to engage in this is to pre-ordain the outcome of the EIS for the AWV Replacement EIA - The City lost a similar case last year by ...

Godden: Thanks, Sen. Cantwell, for grilling Locke over NOAA's move

Posted Sun, Jul 4, 9:51 a.m.

Dear Jean, While you’re excoriating NOAA over the relocation of the survey ships, why don’t you turn the same indignant/self- righteous fury on WSDOT over the deep bored tunnel? Come to think of it, why don’t you take a look at what you’re doing, your part in virtually a similar ...

Handmade pies tell a story of our evolving food culture

Oh please, what a lot of hokey narratives. What is the evidence of all this psychological opinings? There is none, there is no empirical evidence that these "childhoods", either the yearnings or the fantasy ones that are written about as if they existed, existed; the same with these "grandmas" that ...

Once envied, America's aging infrastructure is in alarming shape

Posted Thu, Apr 1, 7:13 p.m.

mhays, really, you're full of baloney. Talk about "semantic" - sure thing that the AWV is a series of roadways. Man, WSDOT and company sold you a bill of goods. SR99 is a roadway, not a series of roadways. It's called segmentation, and it's about avoiding a full environmental review ...

Once envied, America's aging infrastructure is in alarming shape

Posted Thu, Apr 1, 8:53 a.m.

Mhays, I am sorry but the vision you have of the tunnel project, which is part of a total project, is just way off, and it is I'm afraid because of the misrepresentations and lack of representations by WSDOT that has created such a misconception. You're not alone, many people ...

Tunnel worries

Posted Wed, Jan 20, 3:38 p.m.

It's gotten quite tedious the disingenuous Cary Moon and her carping about her great concern about the environment of the City Waterfront, her jargon laden pontificating about “the best solution” for the waterfront. People should take a look around and check out just how much Cary has not done towards ...

Updated: The Viaduct issue looms in Seattle races

Posted Wed, Jun 17, 11:42 a.m.

Ben, The urban mobility and bicycle plans were wrought without the input of and consideration of the commuters and other motor vehicle operators of our city. They are the product of special interest groups and City policy makers which have an agenda that seeks to eliminate as much as possible ...

Updated: The Viaduct issue looms in Seattle races

Posted Wed, Jun 17, 9:51 a.m.

The only mayoral candidate that is opposed to the tunnel and that is for retaining the capacity of the present Viaduct and Alaskan Way corridor is Elizabeth Campbell, www.c4seattlemayor.com I have been a consistent leader against the tunnel and for the solution that retains the capacity of the Viaduct. That ...
