Ground broken in Greenlake
Spend some extra time on that bomb shelter project this weekend… T.F. Sahli broke ground on Lower Woodland this week, which is most certainly the 6th or 7th sign of the apocalypse.
Maybe the hole they’re digging will open up a gate to another dimension. A dimension where a group of people who live across the very busy and noisy street from Seattle’s most heavily used park, that’s brightly lit and often being used for multiple simultaneous sporting events until 11pm every night, would not be able to stall a skatepark project in that space for over a year-and-a-half; costing the taxpayers over $200K in inflation and administrative costs.
Perhaps in this alternate universe, the skatepark opponents would not have used ridiculous arguments like noise, and “skateboarders have been known to play with goat’s blood”, in an effort to shove the skatepark back away from the street – actually creating a more conducive environment for the anti-social behavior they fear so much, due to lack of sight lines and spectator exposure.
Who knows, maybe it’s just a place where skateboarders of all ages have a well designed, positive, and vibrant place to get their shred on.
