No one in Capitol Hill should be surprised that this is happening. The amount of new stuff going up last year alone, as well as stuff down hill should have clued them in that things were changing fast.
Maybe they will all migrate down to Pioneer Square and sleep under the highway now.

Can't have them people in OUR side of town.
Seattle, I think, has proprietary Gay Gangs who "represent". Populations are centered, however, not that I care. Capitol Hill, Ballard.

If tech workers collectively complained about gay culture making Seattle unfriendly, a lot of people would get hit with a hate-crime charge. But this gay guy can rail against “men with girlfriends” daring to come to bars on Capital Hill and nobody bats an eye.

I guess the liberal techies and 21st century yuppies in the Democrats Big Tent don’t want gay people in it. Just another example of when it comes to intolerance and hate the left rules supreme in that area.

bars that were once reliably safe for the queer populace are filled with the neighborhoods new residents heterosexual tech workers and their girlfriendsBut if, as the meme goes, gayness is inborn, shouldn't there be techies of a similar disposition moving in? Or does this suggest that there is a de-linkage between the trait and techy-ness?

Apparently, they are re-starting the Alaskan Way Tunnel in November. Recall that the Super Awesome Tunneling Machine got stuck digging through glacial tailings (Seattle isn't built upon sand) last year.
Frankly, if the Viaduct pilings are still there, that's Seattle's safest Real Estate.
