This is what the Seattle Times thinks of you

by Goldy — Saturday, 3/20/10, 10:08 am

The Seattle Times editorial board has, of course, come out in favor of handing over a couple acres of the Seattle Center to a wealthy local family to build a for profit museum. Much more on this editorial later, but…

Seattle Center officials should have opened to all comers the possibility of siting a project on the south side of the Fun Forest. That would have made Chihuly’s glass house a cleaner proposition.

The way forward now is to seek proposals for other privately funded ideas. Exhaust the possibilities, sate the process hounds, then proceed with this promising upgrade.

Honestly, how fucking condescending can they get?

The same ed board that pees its pants over sunshine and open government advises to simply make a charade of it when it comes to a private deal with one of Frank Blethen’s Rainier Club drinking partners.

I think with these two paragraphs the Times has pretty much written itself off as a serious contributor to this particular conversation.

    Well….what happens when this glass house requires its owners to infuse cash to keep it going? EMP needs Paul Allen to fund it. He has the deep pockets.

    This is supposedly a for-profit enterprise. How does it get funded, if the profits they are counting on simply are not there? Do the Wrights have a plan to fund this out of their pockets ala Paul Allen? Or will the city end up bailing them out somehow with another sweetheart deal of some kind?

    How come the Times isn’t asking about this? Oh…sorry…I forgot that the editorials are a product of the Blethen mindset.

    Is the Suburban Times a serious contributor towards any conversation? I mean, with the exception of what section to use to wrap up the fish guts?

    Is there any sentient person left in this city who doesn’t realize Frank Blethen’s rag is nothing more than a shill for wealthy interests? Hell, you can read better copy in the Little Nickel.

    Who’s needs a Fun Forest when you can have an artsy fartsy museum?

    I’ll support the Chihuly International House of Glass only if the one-eyed glassblower will agree to do a recreation of the “Flight to Mars” ride entirely in glass.
