    I might be in the minority but I’m a little disappointed to see that 42nd and 100th project reduced to 1 potential retail space. Do you know how I can comment without attending the meeting? The people I have spoken with would welcome some small local businesses in our neighborhood.

      Hi – until final permits are issued, comments can be sent any time to the SDCI planner assigned to the project. That’s Tami Garrett – e-mail her at tami.garrett@seattle.gov

        Thank you, WSB.

Sorry, comment time is over.
