maybe Oly can put a plan together that will work. A surface option is a detriment to the state as a whole. This is not just about Seattle. If we can't solve this, other forces will.

I admire Mayor Nickels' efforts to "green" Seattle, but the regional economy will continue, if Seattle chooses not to be the engine, then that mantle go to the city that can deal realistically with transportation issues.

If that economic action goes elsewhere, then there might be no traffic problems here in Seattle.
