//We will follow the will of the people of Seattle, not the dictates of Olympia.// Prediction: 1. Will be brought to voters. 2. Tunnel option will win by about 1%. 3. Gregoire will reiterate that the state will not be paying for a tunnel. 4. City council will go ahead with tunnel anyway. 5. Taxes. 6. Cost over-runs before the project begins. 7. Taxes. 8. Breaking ground. 9. Taxes. 10.More cost over-runs. 11.Taxes. 12.Scandal. 13.Project scrapped. 14.Taxes. 15.Ugly elevated freeway constructed.

Oh, God forbid the Viaduct replacement be anything but another cheapjack, ugly elevated freeway (we could call it the "Christine Gregoire Memorial Viaduct"). Or maybe we should just replace it with another useless sculpture garden so that the entire downtown waterfront looks like the front lawn of an office park in Dallas, instead of just the northern tip. Seattle is so fucking stupid sometimes. I'm so glad I moved outside the city.
