Questions raised at recent public hearing

Michael Taylor of the Friends of the Monorail group estimated that the system would reach capacity west of the West Seattle Bridge within five years because the bridge would carry a single rail...

Queen Anne neighborhood residents were concerned that price negotiations meant stations would be "cookie-cutters," not fitting their neighborhood...
