Isn't Seattle Center awesome? Sure, we might complain about its outdated retro-futurist World Fair design (cute!), its oft-deserted Fun Forest (spacious!), its lack of green space (grass is for hippies!), and its billionaire-nerd plaything/eyesore EMP (well-intentioned!). But for one long weekend a year, Seattle Center becomes what it dreams of being: a bustling, vibrant center for arts, culture, and recreation for residents and tourists alike. Plus, it's the only place serviced by that monorail this paper's so crazy about.
