Never underestimate the ability of Reichardt Conlin in sabotaging what the voters want to act on behalf of his Billionaire and Millionaire masters.
That said, pressure's mounting, and the DC/beltway crowd are noticing. If this keeps building, it could take down US Senator Patty Murray with it, because Seattle voters are NOT happy.
Is Will paid to comment on all Tunnel mentions with a near-instant "Billionaires' Tunnel!" shout out? What did he do before the Tunnel option was proposed?
@3 Before this, there was a different comment repeated ad nauseum on a different topic, and after this there will be another comment repeated ad nauseum on yet another topic. I don't know if you've figured this out yet, but Will is apparently incapable of NOT commenting on every single Slog post.
@9 - I didn't comment on about 2/3rds of the posts on SLOG today. You notice me because we have similar tastes. And because I'm right and it's really irritating how right I am.
It seems disingenuous that the Sierra Club seems to care about the funding sources. Why don't they just file a something to the effect of "on behalf of the Mayor, we won't build a thing."
It really amazes me what does and doesn't get people riled up around here. This tunnel will screw over just about everyone except maybe Paul Allen. In fact, it might just screw over everyone including him...and yet, somehow there is just about zero people yelling and screaming about it!
I thought Washingtonians were these independent Swedish types who held their own opinions, but really, you're all a bunch of sheep.
What Will in Seattle and his buddies hide is the alternative would be MORE expensive for Seattle citizens. The cost to put in the Mayor's preferred street option would be borne exclusively by Seattle as the state has indicated they will NOT contribute to such a plan. This plan puts three lanes of traffic within 50 feet of Pioneer Square, effectively destroying the atmosphere of the #1 tourist destination in the area.

I just finished watching yesterday's meeting, remarkably sparse crowd at the end, WSDOT was talking about their tunnel contract.
File it.

Not just the Billionaires Tunnel and the resulting $10,000 each and every Seattle household will have to pay for its cost overruns.
That's a car, by the way. One of those cool hip hop hamster ones.

Lord knows before I moved here, all I pictured when I pictured Seattle was Pioneer Square.
Damn.
