From the “you read it here first … long ago” department

Two citywide-media reports you can find in the More page roundup include stories first reported here a while back:

TOWNHOUSE “MICROPERMITTING”: Discussed here extensively in January (original report here; followup here) as well as in many previous individual development reports. Featured in today’s Times, including a spotlight for local activist Vlad Oustimovitch. The project he talks about is the one across from the former Gatewood Baptist Church (now Seattle International), which we documented here as it unfolded starting in November 2006, including the intensifying controversy when work began in February 2007, and the last chapter in the fight (plus a last look at one of those historic buildings behind the project) in July 2007.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY: The bogus bills that we told you about almost two months ago when they turned up at two Junction businesses have now also turned up in a tv story.

    Be careful, these counterfitters are getting tricky.

    We (at West Seattle Thriftway) received a fake twenty dollar bill BUT it was printed on a bleached and worn one dollar bill so those special pens didn’t work on it.

    If micropermitting is legal as Diane and others say in the news article, then why isn’t there just one type of permit? Micropermitting should be illegal. It is wrong. The error is made against the citizens and the city knows it but they look the other way for political and or financial reasons.

Sorry, comment time is over.
