This is unfair to puppies and will make the neighbors sneeze! I demand a 5 year design review!

Actually Cienna, if you review the design, the Dynamic Fort Construction area occupies the -2 subgrade, -1 subgrade, and grade floor levels, while kitten adoption occupies only the grade level, therefore the kitten adoption area is roughly comparable in area to the dynamic fort construction area.

Also I think succulents such as cactuses would be dangerous so close to the Zeppelin landing area, lest they puncture the Zeppelin skins. So, can we append that to "non-prickly succulent adoption shelf and hypoallergenic kitten adoption kitty pool"? I think there will be ample space for both.

Also, where are the fire exits? Remember the Hindenburg.

Well, you certainly can't locate the Marshmallow Fire Pit next to the Zeppelin Parking Spot. Oh the humanity!

Why not put the Marshmallow Pit and the Hot Chocolate Kiosk within arms reach of the Pillow Pavilion? Seems totally obvious, right? Where's their common sense?

So we can use the fountain for a lake, where do we find the burlap bags?

What happens when kittens are lobbed in the direction of the zeppelin parking?

It'll be filled with twenty-somethings changing each other's diapers in no time.

I call for a public vote on this before we move futher. But only after the Seattle City Council has had the chance to have several public hearings. But if those don't go well we should petition Olympia and call a special session.

@4, you're right, how stupid of me. Of course I meant "non-prickly succulent adoption shelf." I like the your addition of a "hypoallergenic kitten adoption kitty pool," but maybe we could relocate that closer to the marshmallow fire pit as a safety precaution, given the lack of fire exits?

Speaking of safety, am I the only one who's a little distressed that there are no doors in this building?

Or is this a clever mock-up of those gay concentration camps that everyone was talking about last week? Because if so, it confirms my suspicion that they'd be pretty fucking rad (and great for property values in the area).

The Marshmallow Fire Pit has to be on the roof. It cannot be placed inside.

I like the idea of a public vote on this. However, I think the vote should be whether or not a review panel should be developed to investigate the feasibility of the design.

@11 - Actually, if you look a little closer at the map, there are two doors opening to the Zeppelin/rocket pack landing pad/kitten adoption area. I think it's implying you have to get in via rocket pack or zeppelin. A simple cost of admission.

But of course, it is a little distressing to see zeppelins landing in compounds without exterior exits. It is a little concentration-campy.

"Couch Cushion Tunnel"?! Oh christ, just what we need...it'll probably be a billion over budget...

Why?

Because kittens are cute.

You could stuff them in tube socks, but they mew and that would violate the noise laws.

The best solution obviously is to zipline the kittens in, using zeppelins and rocket packs only in emergencies, or for fast kitten snack hamster deliveries.

Why is the 800 # blurred out?

@12, what if it was more of a fireplace than a fire pit? I think that would suit our needs much better.

@17 - Because the people who made it put the 800 number for a blanket and pillow online retailer on the design review sign. He was very confused when we called him.

The kitten adoption center is a preexisting structure that with much insulation, sealant and a filtered air-exchange system could house kittens without contaminating the surrounding area. Used NASA equipment can transport the kittens in and out of the adoption center. I'm concerned about the missing code-required Chihuly installation.

Concentration camps certainly have come a long way since my grandfather's.

So much god damn government regulation. If you want to build a kitten adoption center, you should just be able to do it. All this RED (communist) TAPE is costing us AMERCIAN JOBS.

I can't wait for the Times editorial position on this, whatever it may be, so that Goldy can lose his shit about it.
