Dominic Holden opines on the proposed Viaduct Tunnel, in my opinion framing the current issues exactly right on this tough subject, and **moving** target.
I lived around the block from Conlin in the mid 90's, leading up to his election sitting with him on the Madrona Council.
He is a good guy, but I fear he's doing a bit of an Obama on this issue - supporting the downtown Seattle 'business' folks with good intent, just like Obama supported the folks who Enron'd the mortgage market with enough foresight to short their own scam.
FWIW, the public money folks HQ'd in Downtown Seattle are why Olympia hates Seattle, and rightfully so.
Great piece Dominic, and I hope Conlin is using his vacation time to realize this isn't a situation with a completely positive outcome.
