As the total estimated cost for new facilities at Harborview sails past the $3 billion mark, the 700-stall garage at Ninth and Alder will be the first project to break. At a County Council meeting Tuesday, the question of that phasing was put front and center.
A bill amended to give SDOT more authority to implement changes relating to traffic safety within Seattle's eight historic districts currently sits in limbo. Without a final vote scheduled, preservation advocates have continued to push against the change.
Central Puget Sound is ahead of its overall established growth target by around 16,000 housing units, according to data from earlier this year. But that regional target was eclipsed thanks in large part to homebuilding happening in just a few cities, with 26 out of 40 cities falling short.

More than four years after receiving a state commitment for $50 million to upgrade Seattle's deadliest road, planning remains underway on any potential overhaul. A recent email exchange involving Rep. Julia Reed brings frustrations around the city's approach to the project fully into the open.
