Bickendan:
Partisan politics. Ugh.

The Legislature isn't picking on WashDOT in particular, they haven't been able to get much of anything done on quite a few issues due to a partisan split and unwillingness to do anything except shoot down the other side's ideas.

It's not going to be late, it's going to be on time, instead of a year early. All of us are wondering what Bertha hit, because I haven't seen anything that says they found a culprit.

It was a pipe. That DOT knew about. :banghead:
KEK Inc.:
They're already gentrifying Downtown Seattle, so whatever. Obviously the old viaduct is a liability, but I don't think the tunnel will help anything (particularly since it's 2 lanes instead of 3).
Bruce:
The area that is currently occupied by the viaduct is going to be re-developed into a series of plazas and parks down Alaskan Way, supposedly by 2020. (Link from WaterfrontSeattle.org)
