The city never wanted to build the expanded monorail—despite four public votes, starting in ‘97, saying that the people wanted one. After the fourth vote, however, they did start to buy property for monorail stations on what was expected to be the new routes.
Then, a fifth vote, in 2005—where they explained how they…

Not sure I agree with you that Belltown used to be a “slum”—maybe by Seattle’s rather privileged standards, perhaps...but the strongest word I would use would be “shady.” By that, I mean...there used to be an outdoor basketball court beloved by both heroin addicts and Shawn Kemp alike down there...before it was turned…
Card Kingdom is now known as Mox Boarding House. (Card Kingdom is now just the name of their mail order store.)
And the best tip I can offer anyone visiting here is that Seattle is both a city of neighborhoods and a city of hills. When I moved here from the Midwest back in ‘92, I didn’t know that... I burnt out the…

DEAR Rich Juzwiak,
PLEASE fact check in the future.

I’ve seen it twice here in Seattle at the 5th Avenue Theater. I believe it only had a short run on Broadway.
You’ll get no argument from me on that!
FS1 and FS2 were specifically NOT part of the deal.
I grew up in Central Wisconsin, lived in the Twin Cities for a few years before moving to Seattle...and I hadn’t thought of anything as being “Minnesota-style pizza” until Zayda Buddy’s opened and described their pizza that way.
The pizza they served at Zayda Buddy’s reminded me a lot of the pizza they serve at Portesi…
The babe with the power!
A group of us from West Central Wisconsin all moved to Seattle in ‘92 (and not for the grunge, either)... One night, about a month or so after we’d moved, we were going out for the night with some locals...and one of our group said “Hey, if we’re going out, I’m going to have to hit a TYME machine first...”
And the…
“Battlefront 2's return, however, has so far been less a Return of the Jedi triumph and more an Empire Strikes Back series of unfortunate events.”
I’m sorry...what?
...the way I read It (and that was ages ago, so apologies if this is more how I interpreted it at the time than what is actually there)...there was a strong “We might forget things from our childhood, but you never forget your first time” meant as a “Why are we having a childhood sex orgy in a sewer?” explanation.

I am convinced that the NBA will not return to Seattle in my lifetime. And without the NBA team, I don’t think the NHL will come here.
And that makes it hard to be proud of our not getting “screwed” in an arena deal.
I would agree that in recent years the WWE has indeed focused on The Rock’s Samoan side—in an attempt to have the connection give the rub to Roman Reigns (...although it obviously didn’t work—as the tragic optics of The Rock raising Roman Reigns’ hand while getting booed out of the building after Reigns’ Royal Rumble…
I’ve always admired the ACLU’s “freedom, warts and all” approach. The idea that freedom of speech means listening to things that you might not want to hear is a powerful and American concept.
And sometimes it means, for the sake of principle, that the ACLU would defend horrific viewpoints—for that is the price that we…
One important factor that we need to remember. Working class Trump voters do want better and cheaper healthcare...FOR THEMSELVES. They’ve also made it clear that they are just as committed to not having to pay for other people’s healthcare.
(Actually, that’s probably what EVERYBODY wants...but at least Democrats…
People who have crashed a car still need to have car insurance, right?
Bada Boom...500-est guys in the room.
How you doin’?
