Re: “Seattle Marathon reroute a hit for runners, headache for new neighbors” (Dec. 1, Native Information):
Expensive Magnolia residents, welcome to Seattle. After I learn concerning the new marathon route I used to be excited that it went by Magnolia. What a good looking loop, and a possibility to convey the children to cheer the runners, see what was taking place, perhaps even run or stroll that quick loop your self.
I don’t stay in Magnolia now, though I’m continuously there having grown up on the bluff and having relations who nonetheless stay there. Magnolia is in my blood.
Mount Baker and Rainier Valley are inundated a number of days every year for Seafair. It actually impairs entry to your complete neighborhood.
Husky video games block site visitors, Seahawks and Mariner video games block each neighborhood having mild rail. Sure, sure, I do know you moved to Magnolia as a result of it was distant and that’s the sweetness. However severely, that is at some point a 12 months. And never even a complete day at that! The route change was properly publicized. Hopefully town will study from any errors it made on signage, and so on.
You now have a complete 12 months to arrange for this excellent annual Seattle neighborhood occasion. Be prepared subsequent 12 months to cheer on these courageous sufficient to run.
