Back on March 19th, Seattle declared war on potholes. (Exactly one week after we submitted a little policy paper on the topic, so draw your own conclusions.)

We became a pothole snitch this morning. We turned in the huge holes alongside Cal Anderson, in front of Vivace, thanks to "encouragement" from a commenter on an earlier pothole post:

instead of complaining about the potholes in a blog posting maybe you should fill out the online form and report them so they get fixed. but that might be too easy and would give you nothing to whine about.

We apologize, Greg. We got a little hot under the collar last week, after hitting one pothole too many, and we became...intemperate. The Pothole Rangers are not hiding out; they're working hard and filling potholes whenever you notify them. This weekend we were biking along, ready to dodge this one (pictured), when we were startled to see it had been filled, just three days after our post about it. Point for Mayor Nickels and the transportation crew. Our high-mileage 1970s 3-speed thanks you.
