Anonymous construction worker: "I was just on the Great Wheel with my girl over the weekend. I never get over the views of this city...When the tunnel's up, it's going to be beautiful. I love this project and I feel lucky to be here... I've worked in construction for the last 10 years. There's problems on every single project, especially on bigger projects. But that's construction: you're finding solutions."

Patrick: "It's one of those things that needed a fix, but I don't know if that's the fix they needed. If they could get it finished, it would be kind of cool to have done. I've been on that thing [the Viaduct]... It's scary for me."

Joy: "The ultimate goal is a good one. I'd love for the Viaduct to be gone. I'd love to have that beautiful waterfront again. They obviously had a plan and it's not going to plan."

Marty: "I can't wait until they're done convincing us that they're done. Then it's going to be the 'amusement park' we always thought it was going to be... I'm going to miss my Viaduct. I live on Vashon—I see the water enough!"

Lucas: "I can't believe it got passed to begin with. I didn't vote on it and I should've done more before it happened... It was inevitable that it would cost more than they say, and that it was going to go over schedule, which was obvious anyway...It's time to really change the way we go about fixing those problems. I don't even want to drive on it. I hate tunnels — they make me claustrophobic!"

Jessie, hot dog stand worker: "On game days, these [construction] guys are here around the clock. We have to get here at 6 a.m. to even get a parking spot because of the construction... We had to buy this plastic screen just to keep all the dust out. It's custom-made."

Brian, owner of Seattle's historic Triangle Pub: "Apparently, they said it can be completed...No one knows. I don't know if they know what's going on."
