The vast majority of the people at the meeting last night were from West Seattle so we get calling effin cry babies for that? Nothing more than concerned citizens - the unconcerned ones didn't show up....

Switchbacks on the north and gentle trails to the south connect a mile of seawalled, rocky beaches to a bluff of grassy forests and meadows with play and picnic areas galore.” Amazingly diverse for its size, Lincoln includes 4.6 miles of walking paths, 3.9 miles of bike trails, five picnic shelters, acres of playfields, and an outdoor heated saltwater pool and bathhouse.” (Excerpt from "Enjoying Seattle's Parks" by Brandt Morgan) Lincoln park is already a multi-purpose park. If you don't like what the park has to offer, find another place to go that does. In my mind putting a zip line in the park is the same as putting bike lanes on all the major streets - something for the few to use at the expense of the majority, Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:13:41 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Angry-residents-come-out-against-proposed-Lincoln-Park-zip-line-162027955.html#IDComment399813165 http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/Slow-motion-video-shows-intricate-dance-of-lightning-strikes-161819545.html#IDComment398628465 those are spectacular!

Violent crime happens everywhere. There may be more in one area than another but it's not isolated to an area.

I have worked in the "CD" as you choose to call it for over 20 years without incident. I don't leave in fear of violence here anymore than the neighborhood I live in. Wake up, this is happening everywhere.

I drive up Jackson M-F. Between 4th and 5th at the bus stop people dart our from behind the buses without looking to see what traffc there may be. When it's dark or raining it's even harder to see them. I have never understood why it's worth injury or worse to catch a bus.
