The shoreline parks to the north (Elliott Bay Park and Myrtle Edwards) provide over a mile of strolling, reflection and nature opportunities, directly connected to the central waterfront. The Sculpture Park is a nice transition. I don't think the downtown area needs more quiet, unused open space. I like the ...

Oh this is music to my ears. Cuban food is one of the (few) things I miss about living in Florida. Hopefully the plantains make the menu soon.

I thought when I read this piece yesterday that it would whip people up, but wow! It's a factually accurate commentary, for sure. I appreciate the fact that Knute does not call for mass feline-icide though (who would?). Do a little research and you will find that there are all ...

More like, 'visionary' or 'highly competent'? Sims has generally come out unscathed from countless unwinnable political situations, not because he spins and plots, but because he's genuine and he wears his convictions on his sleeve, and he does what he thinks is right.

RE: Not an appropriate waterfront use.: That didn't seem to stop the Seahawks from building a gigantic training facility on the shoreline of Lake Washington. What's the deal with that? Also, didn't the city and port consider a long range plan for Pier 67 pitched by Nitz Stagen, supposed to ...

Seemed like an all ages rally to me...: I went and was too late to get in to the rally so went back to work rather than stand in the cold, although there were hundreds still standing outside to listen over the intercom. One thing that struck me while I ...

Just what South Lake Union needs: This is such a major development... one that will hopefully push South Lake Union over the hump from a somewhat awkward, mostly residential neighborhood to a real live-where-you-work center of town. And Crosscut gets the scoop!!

RE: Where Do I Start: The idea that rural areas and small cities (ie Carnation, Auburn, etc) don't benefit from transit in dense urban centers is questionable. The subsidies go both ways. I don't think economic and population growth in those areas would be as robust without the economic engines ...
