No. The skatepark would be free. It would be a way to draw families into the park.

After getting such an incredible deal on the property and displacing SeaSk8, it really seems like the Gates Foundation should be able to throw a few million dollars at this problem to solve it once and for all. Yes, realize that I'm suggesting that we steal money from Malaria-ridden children so that people in Seattle can skate, but I'm so sick of hearing about how hard it is to find a new skatepark.

Great. Because the thing that the Seattle Center needs is more skate punks wandering about.

How about a No-Fun Forest, simulating the experience of waiting to testify at city council meetings.

I don't understand it, but whatever it is has been drawing SRO crowds in Seattle for as long as anybody can remember!

I'm willing to pay if I want to buy food or coffee, but not to use the sk8park.

Bring back the bubbleator!

Turn the whole fucking five acres into a skatepark. It'll be insanely huge, and food and drink vendors in the adjacent areas can make a fortune. Do it! Do it now before insane dog owners like myself demand that it's turned into an off leash area!

Excellent idea, Gitai.

Best use of bolding. Ever.
