Can't Miss It: Monday
There aren't any pictures of the Wawona that are findable on the web. We looked when we posted something about the boat a few weeks ago. Recent pictures, not some artist's representation of the ship in its prime, carting timber and city forefathers around the Sound. Go ahead. Try to find them.
Actually you don't have to because we took some lately and now we can all see why there are so few current pictures of the Wawona in circulation. They're lame. You'd have to climb up inside it to get something that was actually interesting, it seems, but then we would run into a Heidelberg situation wouldn't we? The act of climbing aboard for a few pictures would sink the thing. Look at it - Seattlest does not envy whatever local salvage operation eventually gets the contract to pull that thing to MOHAI land and haul it out. Good luck, guys. If you want to have your say or listen in others having their say Peter Steinbrueck's hosting a public hearing today at 2pm at City Hall.

The helpfull folks at Steinbrueck's office wrote to inform me that today's meeting is not an official public hearing on the Wawona.
Sink it, let the divers have it for a play-toy.
Save Wawona, let children have it for a play-toy. :P
BTW, check out my July 26 MHN blog entry on a proposed city historic district for the wooden piers. It's all part of Mayor Nickels' big vision for the downtown waterfront, post-Viaduct.
