It looks like toxic waste. Credit: Jon Brock

We just received a tip from an irate caller that Clearwire has dyed the fountain green in Westlake Plaza. He wanted us to investigate. A call to the city’s Parks and Recreation office confirmed that they did, in fact, issue a permit for this event. Big deal. You can go about your business now.

It looks like toxic waste.

  1. They should just turn the fountain area into a big parking lot to encourage ridership on light rail …

    oh, wait, you meant Green, not Mean.

  2. The Clear service was out on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday this week in Seattle. Is this what they’re planning in lieu actual working WiFi? Their customer service is like dealing with the front desk in a third world country. Every time you call it’s like they don’t recall a word of the last 14 calls, “what? no water in your room. this is the first i’m hearing of this.” Believe me, this is indicative of how ass-backwards that company is run. It’s all sizzle and no steak.

  3. They set up heeeeeeeeella green shit. All the signage says “CLEAR IS HERE”. I wanted to go up and ask them what exactly has arrived, since I’m pretty sure it’s still the same shitty clearwire service it’s always been.

  4. Did the Parks & Rec person say how much they paid to deface public property with their advertising?

    I assume they covered Westlake Park’s budget for the rest of the year, minimum.

    Right?

  5. i’m on cap hill and i didn’t lose service this weekend. . . have you traded in your old modem for the new wimax modem yet? maybe it has something to do with that.

  6. yep- had the new wimax modem for a month or two now. called tech support 6 times, nobody could tell us anything except “there might be an outage” and then twice we got a recorded message. I’m currently on hold with a manager, trying to cancel my service without paying the cancellation fee. I think 4 days without internet + shitty customer service = no fee to cancel.

  7. 12: westlake really counts as a park? huh.

    In Seattle, yes. There was an opportunity to create a large (or at least larger) urban space there but, instead, we got the ugly Westlake Center squatting on most of the area. And then, in typical pathetic fashion, Seattle couldn’t even keep one block of Pine street closed.
