Damn right, Josh.
Y'know, it also felt like a local story when the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor. I mean, look at all those Japanese immigrants living among the real Americans in Seattle at the time. People with Japanese genes = bad. Just like tunnels = bad. Fortunately, FDR had the good sense to round 'em all up and put them in the internment camps. Better to err on the side of caution.
Also, to err on the side of caution, I believe that WashDOT should immediately close the I-90 tunnels pending an investigation, and Sound Transit should discontinue all tunneling currently underway.
