The FoS Party (Slog)

Friends of Seattle is in the news.

Erica C. Barnett, "The FoS Party," Slog: The Stranger's Blog (7 Feb 2007)

Not to be contrary, PartyCrasher, but last night’s Friends of Seattle party was much cooler and less old than you made it out to be. Yeah, the drink specials were cheesy, but the room was packed (I would guess 300-plus people, including neighborhood activists, city officials, and campaign veterans) and the energy was incredible. And their policy goals are specific (read ‘em here)— they don’t include anything on education because, well, they’re an urban-planning and transportation-centric group. Transportation Choices doesn’t have anything to say about the estate tax, but that’s because they’re a transportation group. And the viaduct is FoS’s main concern right now because, well, we have an election coming up in a couple of weeks. As FoS steering committee chair Gary Manca put it (somewhat hyperbolically), “what we do with the viaduct will determine what kind of city we live in for the next 100 years.” (The Stranger supports a “no/no” vote, by the way.)
