His plan reminds me of the Seattle Center plan that the Disney "Imagineers" had concocted (remember how they proposed eliminating the fountain!). I like the charming old warehouses and wharfs on the waterfront, the 70's era Waterfront Park, the Aquarium, and the old banisters that still line much of the ...

What seems to have always worked is smaller class sizes, especially for k-3rd grade. Parental involvement is just as important. We don't need to redevelop education, the model that we have had for the last 80 years or so has worked fine, when properly funded. However, our community seems to ...

So, Mr. Licata, are you suggesting that health care reform will lead to Soviet drabness? That is how your article, in entirety, reads. I've always suspected that your vision for Seattle lacks the color that a robust business community could provide.
