Over the last 40 years, our region has emerged from a little-known, backwater company town to a metropolitan area of global importance. These days, it’s hard not to come across a mention of Seattle in some newspaper or magazine discussing such subjects as technology, outdoor recreation, bicycling to work or urban development. Over the last 20 years, we have seen a distinct shift towards urban living.
I am pleased to be one of the writers who has frequently commented on aspects of the regional urbanism we are experiencing. Fortunately for our region, Crosscut has a whole cadre of people who make keen observations about this part of the world, and they need your support.
