Ten years ago the state put on a massive campaign to raise the gas tax to pay for tearing down the viaduct because it was damaged and engineers said it would collapse any minute
...ten years ago.
When you dig through the fill of the Glacial Till,
It jiggles and wiggles ‘neath the tide.
A Hollywood Terror Film it sure would make,
When the tunnel is filled: SPLASH! after a ‘quake!
Oh who wanted to dig ‘neath Puget Sound?
Was it those of “Seattle Street” or the anti-profit crowd?
Or was it “Shovel-Ready” dollars that turned it around?
A Waterfront Park might best replace,
The planner’s pet project that treadmills taxpayers cash.
To copy Vancouver BC would harm civic pride,
So Seattle must keep on digging to save face.
