Will the Last Blade of Grass Leaving Fremont Please Turn Out the Lights?
It was sad to see Fremont's last remaining green space churned into a giant hole this week. It's been fenced off for a while now, but the earth-movers have finally arrived. This was the grass hill that contained a large part of Fremont's Octoberfest in recent years, or, for the rest of the year, the place where Adobe nerds went to sit and eat lunch. Seattlest couldn't be bothered to read any signs when did a quick drive-by for pictures yesterday, so we really have no idea what's going in. A lot of dirt has been moved, but it's looking kind of foundation-y so another tech building doesn't seem unlikely. True, it's not the neighborhood's last remaining green space--there's still that tiny strip of lawn between the Burke-Gilman and the canal, but that's about all we can think of.
