Extreme Seattle

Posted Tue, Jan 5, 3:47 p.m.

You've all missed it. Seattle is unusual because it is beautiful.

In praise of 'Rotten Old Supermarkets'

I'm kind of mean to QFC now that it's been Kroger-ized.

Best of 2009: Enough about Seattle. What do you think of Seattle?

Posted Wed, Dec 30, 9:26 p.m.

Mhays, you make me laugh: We borrow ideas heavily from Vancouver, Portland, and San Francisco, among others. Those aren't different from Seattle, they are our kissing cousins.

Let's not fool ourselves about 'walkability'

Posted Wed, Dec 30, 9:22 p.m.

What is missing are the cross town small buses that ran all day long, back and forth, or around in a basic square/circle pattern. In the 1960's most mothers didn't work, nor did they have cars. If they lived in the City, they easily got around to Ballard or the ...

Let's talk economics, transportation and vehicle mobility and I might join the money funding.

Island Girl: The gift that keeps on taking

Posted Sun, Nov 22, 9:40 p.m.

I think there are too many non-profits. I don't knwo what they all do all day long, except ask for money for salaries ... perhaps more direct giving would be better. Boards should be made up of do-ers. A strong board member can easily add far more than $3000 or ...

Seattle Times puts some new land up for collateral

Posted Mon, Dec 15, 8:45 p.m.

PS I still want an afternoon/evening newspaper delivered to my front doorstep. Make it happen and I will pay more. Let me sit in my comfy chair, with my drink at hand, quietly for a half hour when I return home, reading my paper. It's not old-fashioned. It's what I ...

OK, at least make the ads black and white, so the reading isn't so distracted. Advertisers, you're forcing your own expenses to be wasted because you're not testing what works. Being able to respond to articles is nice. Will we still want to do it in 5 years, 7 years, ...

How Wall Street is destroying the timber way of life

Posted Mon, Dec 15, 8:39 p.m.

Sorry to be off topic. In reading this article, I was irritated and distracted by all the color ad-chatter all around. For that reason, I do prefer a paper paper. Made from trees, felled by loggers.

God I hate color ads. Very distracting, and I will never click on them. Ever. Make them be black and white and maybe I would.

We need new ferries. So why don't we get them?

Posted Mon, Dec 15, 8:29 p.m.

I don't know about everyone else, but Mr. St. Claire has a tone to his article and comments that is more of an agenda than reporters are supposed to take. What's going on with that, Mr. St. Claire? I'm not defending the ferry service or the State - but your ...
