Again, the idea being to develop some comparative data, even if it is

Public comment from House Transportation Committee, reviewing Karen Kaiser’s Senate Bill SSB5370.

Time, Windows and Churn
I saw those guys at The Gorge in ’83. 😀 Preface With the passage of time, the problems created for residents by Sea-Tac Airport get forgotten and this works to the advantage of The Port Of Seattle.

Highline highlights: It’s a technicality
Contrary to my expectations, today’s Highline Forum was the most ‘content-rich’ affair I’ve been to in quite a while. If you weren’t there you shoulda been there.

A Letter To Mayor Jimmy Matta re. Port Package Problems
