Or at least not visionary. Seattle is the LA of the North. If our governator gets her way, Seattle's carbon hugeass -print will only get bigger and smellier. Any time I spend in Portland or Vancouver, BC, I feel like I'm in utopia. Oh for the bikes, the public waterfronts, the frequent light rail and buses. Sigh. Poor Seattle. Home to some of capitalism's grestest institutions -- Microsoft, Boeing, WeyCO, Starbucks. Yet the city can't ditch the auto or open up the downtown waterfront for a little park. Seattle has its head stuck in its hugeass, sadly. Seattle is the least hugeass of the major NW cities. Or at least not visionary. Seattle is the LA of the North.
