I'd like to see an Earthquake Museum with scary, big screen, 3-D computer-animated scenarios of what will happen to visitors to the Earthquake Museum.

@Joey Veltcamp, Joey, the Colman Pool is just such a heated saltwater pool. Enjoy! http://www.cityofseattle.net/parks/aquat…

Hi Paul - Colman is great but it closes mid-September so you can't really enjoy it year round.

The ideas are idiotic and would cost billions we don't have and have no way of raising.

I say keep the area in front of The Market clear and sell off the rest for high rise development. That will bring in billions from the sale of the land as well as revenue from the new apartments, condos and businesses filling those high rises as well as help offset the cuts to public services.

Seattle has plenty of mostly unused open space now.

Wi fi kiosks? Absurd.

These ideas are idiotic will cost money we don't have and will bring in zero in revenue.

Keep the area in front of the Market clear and sell off the rest to highrise development. This woudl bring is billions from the land sale as well as continued revenue from condos, apartments and businesses.

With the money we can restore the cuts made to public services and fund a better and cheap public transportation system.
