Mayoral candidate Mike McGinn is starting to mix it up with Greg Nickels over the deep-bore tunnel. (McGinn has been campaigning as anti-tunnel for a while, but Nickels has only now started to respond.) Now McGinn says that since the Seattle share of tunnel costs would nearly equal the total of every other voter-approved levy in the city, it's worth a vote.

Yesterday, Mayor Greg Nickels announced his plan for a six-year, $75 million levy to renovate Seattle's historic Pike Place Market. If passed by voters, the money would go toward renovating the Market's bathrooms, electric, ventilation, and heating systems, as well as seismic upgrades and new elevators. The century-old Pike Place Market has not undergone major renovations since the 1970s.
