Midday Scan: Gay marriage's econo-benefits; a resurgence of NW crazies; and an abortion-free North Pole

Posted Fri, Feb 10, 9:12 a.m.

And who is going to pay for all of those expensive, newly-mandated, pre-abortion ultrasounds - the taxpayers? Planned Parenthood? Since there is no medical reason for an ultrasound at that stage of pregnancy, doubtful the insurance companies will be stepping up to offer coverage.

Belltown and Brooklyn: How Seattle misses having kids in an urban center

Posted Fri, Jan 6, 2:27 p.m.

I think Mr. Royer makes too fine of a point. What makes Seattle unfriendly to families is not just the downtown environment but the entire City and its largely child-less by choice population. Most neighborhoods have a few "family friendly" restaurants but by and large we have a populace that ...

Madison Park: If fences make good neighbors, what happens when you take one down?

Sorry David. This piece not worthy of Crosscut and/or your objective of pursuing readers interested in (relatively) unbiased analysis.

City attorney's remarks hurt public safety

Posted Mon, Jun 21, 10:12 a.m.

Holmes was off base in his remarks, and I hope regrets them. Anyone who puts their hands on a cop should face and expect to face consequences. How severe I won't judge as I did not witness the episode. This particular cop appears to be calm, level-headed and already versed ...

Mayor McGinn pokes Microsoft's CEO in the eye

Posted Thu, Feb 25, 9:30 a.m.

I was cautiously optimistic of his term, but this is like watching a train wreck. McGinn is self-destructing as we speak. Who is advising this guy???
