It's amazing that for all the years before "South Lake Union" became the place to be, the Seattle Center was an oft used and well loved (and financially sound) institution.
The place was always crowded on weekends.
The food court busy.
The entertainment...hoakey, but loved.
Once again the Density Scam Artists, the "Real City" Scamsters, and Transit Bandits have walked through and taken the furniture and left us with the bill.
Cienna, I'm not getting your argument. The rent arrears means fewer dollars to the Center. The Chihuly Monument means more dollars to the Center. Why wouldn't the ongoing financial pressure of late renters, like Crosscut says, cause the Center to look for paying tenants? Your argument is simply passing on a PR talking point of Center management, not making any sense in the real world.
So according to Cienna's logic, she would not be helped by a steady check of say, $10,000 a month writing for, say, The New Yorker (ok, that's a joke). ย Her shitty salary from The Stranger is all she needs, even when they fail to pay her on time and she would in no way ever be helped by that extra $10k. She would obviously turn it down.
Brilliant!
I can't wait to watch this astro-turf campaign if yours go poof.
I don't follow #1's specious argument. I'm guessing that those three non-profits are having financial problems because the COUNTRY is having financial problems and attendance is down and there's less government/corporate funding out there for them. (Also, at least in the case of Intiman, some alleged mismanagement).
Not sure what urban density has to do with a crappy economy.
And, bus service from the Hill to Seattle Center, IS kind of crappy. Especially at night when most of those venues have performances. (though, the #8 is better than it used to be.)

Yeah, we know and some of us even agree, but here's the big rub: He pays his bills on time.

Make a wild claim. Be called out on it. Backpedal and move the goal posts.
Rinse. Repeat.
You must be new here.
