Haha.
Really though, sorry for folks who have to live and work in that hell hole of a city. Just try not to kill anybody. |

The tunnel will be a failure and the viaduct will be condemned, both will happen simultaneously. City leaders will claim that this was unexpected, maybe declare a state of emergency, and request federal funding. Then Tutor-Perini will sue the state (just like they do every time a job goes wrong) and probably win.
Everyone said this would happen, and they should just tear down and rebuild the viaduct. Cheapest option, and best results for everyone who lives and works in/around the city - EXCEPT the waterfront developers. Well, look who won out on that fight, and will ultimately end up fucking everyone - even themselves. |

ETA: Vote NO on Sound Transit 3. |

The tunnel is a toss up. Maybe they get through, maybe they don't. The deeper they go the less man made bs.
The people who live in Seattle got a vote. Those idiots had a chance to stop this stupid shit. SDOT is the worst enemy in this debacle. They could have repurposed an incoming and outbound street. |

It wasn't too bad. Took me about one hour from Harborview to West Seattle (at 15:00), but it was Friday. I expect it to be much worse by next Thursday. I deliver packages and from my subjective POV, Thursday has the worst PM rush hour traffic. I think it's all a ploy to get people to vote for ST3. Yes, I'm paranoid and conspiratorial minded about the ST3.

Sorry to be a bit off topic here, CavVet, but WashDot wants fewer people on the freeway by 2020 than it was in mid 1990s. Statewide tolling, GPS in our cars (pay by milage) they're on the table. |
