No Jumping On The Viaduct: What We Would Do With 30 Minutes On SR-99
During the Viaduct's nine-day closure, WSDOT is giving the populace a chance to say goodbye: by walking all over it. In addition to their public, three-hour-long viaduct walk and subsequent party on October 22, they're offering one lucky person a chance for them and 24 of their closest friends to be thefirst to die in a horrible earthquake have the viaduct all to themselves for half an hour!
KING asked some folks at Pike Place what they'd do, and came up with a carnival and a kitten parade. That's all well and good, but we have some ideas of our own:
Hanna: Make a miles-long hopscotch board. But not use it, for fear that it would fall down.
Sarah L.: Assuming this means me being on the viaduct for 30 minutes straight with all the echos and the thinking, then probably pee my pants about 30 times.
Everett: Re-enact the episode of Seinfeld where they're stuck in traffic.
Alex: It's going to be the best hot pants roller-disco rollerskate sprint race in the history of time. Or like, a hella awesome Facebook profile pic photo shoot.
Annie: I'd bring a Moon Bounce.
Morgen: Worlds longest water slide!
AJ:
Jose: Get together with local art-rock troubadour Jose Bold and cover the Talking Heads' Road To Nowhere.
Got ideas of your own? Leave them in the comments. Or better yet, if they fit the list o' rules, email them to WSDOT before Sunday, October 16 for a chance to make your viaduct dreams come true.
