The community needs to support the local businesses impacted by this violence. Being a long time resident of South Seattle, I am concerned that we will lose some long established businesses. In particular, Mayas restaurant is mostly empty since the shooting took place there. It was not their fault. The ...

Knute, Thanks for putting into words what I was thinking when I first heard about this "controversy". I have spent almost my whole life in Seattle and I reguraly curse at our lousy weather during the grey months and bad mouth for their piculiarities (e.g., driving, voting, dress code, etc.) ...

Wow. When will you guys get over the fact that the tunnel is a reality. You missed the whole point of this story. What are we doing to be ready for a 7.0 quake here in Seattle? Is your home quake proofed? Do you have large appliances strapped to the ...

Mayor McGinn has finally figured out how to define his one term legacy. Up to now, his biggest success was the passage of the school bond issue on the last ballot. Of course, that passed in part because he did not actively support it. Now he can claim that he ...

I am still looking for something in this story to substantiate the headline - "Natural gas devastates communities". I see truck traffic on rural roads, water usage by an industry and workers filling up hotels in a town. Nothing that suggests that the community was devastated.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that editor selects a comment as an "editor's pick" when the editor wrote the story?

On Thanksgiving Day, a relative of mine commented that Christmas was a secular holiday. I have to admit that this comment bothered me more than a little. It is true that we spend a lot of time and effort on non-Christ like things during the season, but I truly feel ...

As much as I dislike the baggage fees, it would be a mistake to pass a law to force carriers to allow 1 free bag. Consumers are not being "damaged" by the charges because it is part of the cost of flying. If you do not want to pay a ...

One of the reasons I voted against the car tab ballot measure was the inclusion of street car funding. I don't understand the infatuation some people have with street cars. We built one that connects south Lake Union to downtown, but other than giving us a few laughs over the ...

There are many aspects of the TMP that are questionable at best. But I can't see the value of a "master" transit plan that only considers travel within the Seattle City limits. This plan ignores that fact that many people travel across the city limits daily to get to jobs ...

I can't believe that Occupy Seattle is taking credit for the surge in accounts at BECU. Did they not notice that Bank of America announced that they were going to start charging customers $5/month for customer's debit cards? Do you think this might have had an impact on the customers ...

There are so many reasons that I oppose this Proposition it is hard to know where to start. While anyone who drives around Seattle will agree, our streets are a mess. But this is not the solution we need. 1. Why are we in this mess? This author says the ...
