I don’t live in Seattle anymore, but some of my favorite movie going experiences were at this place. Was my favorite theater of all time. I really hope it makes a comeback.
The 1.3-acre park will now regularly have games, food trucks, concerts and art installations, according to a city release. Two park rangers will also be staffed during all open hours.
A 1.3 acre park needs a regular staffing of 2 rangers during all open hours? Kind of seems like special treatment for this park.
I went today and it seemed fine. It was clean, there were no lines, and the app thingy worked. We had a good time and looked forward to going again next year.
I used it today and it seemed fine. The setup was a little cumbersome, but I think it was a one time thing. Obligatory, I don’t work for whoever owns it and was up from Puyallup.
I bought food from three or four vendors, there were no lines, and there was no pressure. The conversations I had with the vendors while collecting my items were more natural and I was able to learn about the festival rather than just transacting my business.
They want the housing to be built around it and the tree preserved. A perfectly reasonable compromise at a time when we need both more housing and more green space/canopy cover.
And anyway, having that tree there will increase those property values.
