Right on! If you don't support the Pike Place levy in a time of severe financial crisis, you must love Wal-Mart. If you don't support the renewal of a parks levy (a levy originally designed to expire this year), you must not like parks or farmers.

Good God. With logic like this, it's no wonder Seattleites (and our unfortunate carpetbagger neighbors, like ECB) never met a tax we didn't like.

I hate to say it, but I agree with joykiller. Now is not the time to be using tax dollars to support a commercial enterprise. Like the rest of us, Pike Place just needs to tighten its belt. And I don't hate farmers or markets.

It's called satire people...geez get a sense of humor.

in a city where once-quirky, diverse neighborhoods are transforming into a ginormous pottery barn, the pike place market is soon to be all that's left. it's $42/ year for 6 years...a small price to pay to save our civic soul.
