Article on the Mercer Mess created a lot of false alarms

Now that's a well reasoned response. Thanks for calling out Mr. Fox's rant for what it is.

Why we should stick to our consensus for a deep bore tunnel

Posted Thu, Aug 6, 11:04 a.m.

I'm tired of people like Richard saying the public voted against the deep bored tunnel. They didn't. They voted against a cut and cover tunnel, against retrofitting the viaduct, and that's it. Apples and oranges. They did not weigh in on the surface street option, so we can't compare their ...

Who gets my vote, and why

Posted Tue, Aug 4, 10 a.m.

If you're looking for a council candidate with solid and real-world business background, I'm shocked you didn't choose David Miller for position #8. He TEACHES people how to successfully start a business, and owns one himself that advises biotech companies. Seems like an easy choice to me.

I have been a park ranger in North Cascades National Park for five seasons, working along the Canadian border, along State Route 20, and throughout the wilderness area. Guns have no place there, loaded or not. A National Park is a refuge for both wildlife, plants, ecosystems, and people. There ...

The politics of the parks levy

Posted Fri, Oct 24, 4:36 p.m.

If only Seattle's weather had enough sunshine to make cvandy's concern about heat valid, we'd all be much happier people (and then I'd support that concern). However Seattle has more clouds and rain than not, and we also have many natural turf fields to address the need in the hot ...
