I lived there for 12 years - Seattle has a "don't build it and that won't come" attitude, but they keep not building, and people keep coming.

- chihuahua 5y agoThat sounds about right. Moreover, even if Seattle wanted to build something (anything), it would play out like this: * 10 years of planning * 10 years of lawsuits * another 10 years of planning * 20 years of very slow building The famed light rail is supposed to reach Issaquah (from Seattle) in 2041. That's if everything goes according to plan.
