Wow. Susan Hutchison is polling VERY HIGH for King County executive - and we're just two weeks from getting our ballots in the mail.
I'm friends with both Susan Hutchison and Ross Hunter. Though I would say, Ross has much more relevant government/political experience. We love him as our state rep - and he's become one of the top leaders there. It pains me that he's down at 6% (at the bottom of the pack).
Quoted: Former KIRO-TV news anchor Susan Hutchison holds onto lead in latest SurveyUSA poll for King 5 news.

Much of Hillary's speech last night was repeat for an audience at Microsoft today. I was able to attend and must say I was very impressed with her. It's refreshing to hear from a presidential candidate that's intelligent and not afraid to state her mind.

Mark's Letter to the Editor was published in the PI last week. He's "Pro-Tunnel". Interesting about financing options taken from his experience living in Chicago.

Another "virtual account", this one creates weekly dots from the King 5 TV show, Up Front with Robert Mac. If you're interested in Seattle Politics, this is a great show to watch - or read his blog.

King County is "swapping" Boeing Field for the 33 mile Burlington Northern rail line from Renton to Snohomish. The plan is to convert the line to a trail!
This looks like a sneaky way for King County to sell an asset and then go on it's own spending spree. The Port of Seattle will pay $169 million for Boeing Field. Then King County will turn around and buy Ron Sim's pet project - the BNSF rail to trail project. Aren't there OTHER uses for $169 million than to add another eastside trail???
And why are we not retaining this rail right-of-way, and working train track into a transportation system on the eastside.
Coincidentally, this right-of-way would be perfect access from Bellevue to Renton (where the new Sonics Arena could be). And then, link that up to light rail to the airport for eastsiders!
Quoted: Al Runte of the pro-rail group All Aboard Washington called the plan "a colossal mistake. It's the dumbest idea this region has had."
...
Runte said he had walked the entire length of the proposed trail and found, "It's not a dilapidated rail line. It's a beautiful track."ShareViewed: 3 Times - mike | Shared With: Everyone - Feb 22 2007 | seattle, transportation, vote, politics, wa, dot, viaduct, tunnel
