Looking merely at the cities' populations isn't a full take. The Boston teams' market is all of New England except for the southwestern part nearer New York. The population base is about 14 million. Seattle/Portland is about 5 million - throw in Spokane and even Boise (a stretch) and a tad for Vancouver and take away a bit for the Blazers and maybe you have 6 million. In addition, I would venture that proportionately there are a lot fewer spectator-sport-oriented people here in the Northwest than in New England. Lastly, I would imagine the chronic out-of-contention status of Seattle's teams might be a factor in the difference of support. Somehow Boston/New England doesn't seem to have that problem - the Celtics, Patriots, RedSox and Bruins are all professionally run, win more often than lose as a result, and draw accordingly. Beaners wouldn't put up with the sports incompetence prevalent here, particularly if they were subsidizing it! Mariners management should be ashamed that more RedSox fans show up than Mariners fans when the Sox are in town!

"If you find yourself in need of rescue, get into an open area and stay where you are, making yourself as visible as possible," he said. Well, that's all well and good for visibility, but more visual exposure on ridgetops also means more exposure to the elements and at the higher elevation necessary, colder temps. They might find you quicker, but you also might be dead quicker. IMO, the advice needs to be tempered with wisdom about maintaining dryness, hydration and body temperature as the first priority and establishing visibility (perhaps with an arrow marking in a visible area) second.

SDOT." Typical SDOT - "We did not know that." What ARE you paying attention to? Poor signal coordination, major and dangerous "surf's up" potholes, parking signage irrationality, nothing seems to get corrected unless it's "called to our attention." And don't bother asking the Engineer a question - a plausible sounding but wholly fabricated answer will be pulled out of a hat and a BS snow job will be attempted. Is it a mandatory condition of SDOT employment that employees never drive a car in their work or personal lives, and never look up an actual record to know what they're talking about?!...
