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.
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.
While I sympathize with those who don't have houses to sleep in, as a disabled person, I will point out that blocking the sidewalk at all makes it unusable for many disabled people. Not just "completely blocking" the sidewalk, as is mentioned in this article. It does constantly feel that the city and the country care more for the homeless than they do for the disabled. It sure would be nice if they really cared about either.
