The Stranger rang the warning bell, and it was not heeded.

However, I get equally fed up with West Seattlites hand-wringing over their "unique and special" neighborhood. Remember their bruhaha over the proposed monorail?

Love West Seattle, but sometimes feel they need to get over themselves.

But terrorism? West Seattle is spawning snob terrorists. Didn't see that one coming.

Makes you wish the sea level would hurry up and rise.

I thought people lived in West Seattle cause they couldn't afford to live closer in. I rarely go there (why would I?) but it looks like one step away from suburbia to me.

I'm betting on a builder cutting his losses with a little insurance fraud.

I live in West Seattle and hate all the new townhomes too but I'm sad that someone did this on purpose for whatever reasons because people were hurt, not just the crappy townhouses.
