We had a really great time and are very grateful to EBC for all they do for our residents and the…Read More Eastside community. Volunteering was a great experience and we hope other groups are inspired to help out!

Thank you so much for sharing this great event on Patch! What a cool thing to do--as an Issaquah…Read More resident, I really appreciate your involvement with EBC.

We too, love having our Farmers' Market return! Opening day was a bit weather-challenged. Thank…Read More you merchants for enduring the wet and cold for our new extended hours!
What a wonderful sight will return to the plaza when the sunshine calls back all the families with happy, giggling children.
Market day is a date of dinner out (side) & shopping (vegetables, fruits and now HedgeHog Toffee) with my husband. Doesn't get much better than that!
SEE YOUR THERE!

Agreed Mark,
Much as this solution seems crazy, some things are worth paying for (law and order, a…Read More decent safety net, good schools and yes roads). I do blame the tax hawks though. Washington already has a relatively regressive tax structure. The "choke the government" solution seems carried way too far.

I thank the author for his well thought out arguments regarding these important transportation…Read More issues in Washington state. While I believe some of the ideas presented are debatable, for example I believe that a vital and well used transit system ought to be part of our congestion relief plan in metropolitan areas, the lack of realistic funding options for this system cannot be ignored.
However, our legislature (both parties included) seems to place a higher priority on "no new taxes" than creating a sustainable future for the state in many areas, including the transportation system. More than that, though, we live in a state whose citizens have varied interests and priorities. Most of all, we need our government to set priorities so that citizen interests and needs can be reasonably served.
It seems we are pretending that we can base tax policies and tax rates exclusively on individual self-interest, as is often the consequence "no new taxes" scheme (e.g. if I don't get a direct benefit for myself, I won't support paying for it). This seems to me to be as much a part of this problem as current transportation system priorities.

It gets worse folks. I was part of a selected focus group a few weeks ago of people who live along…Read More I-405 conducted by a well-known marketing research firm and paid for by WSDOT. They are considering options that would charge commuters to use a new lane on I-405 & charge for the existing carpool lane too (even if you have two people in the car!)
