A few days ago, idling away the time it takes to brush my teeth, I thought, Seattle Center needs to replace its now-defunct fun forest with an art park inspired by the carny world. Hence, this post, Replacing the Fun Forest At Seattle Center.
A version of that is poised to happen. Jen Graves noted today that a large Chihuly Museum is slated for the spot. In her reaction, City Council member Sally Bagshaw proves she isn’t living on earth with the rest of us:
“I took one look and said, ‘If that’s something you have to pay some money to go see, then that really isn’t right,’ because I want Seattle Center to be Seattle Central Park, where you can go even if you don’t have money.
Ever been to the fun forest, Sally? Many’s the time I’ve dropped $40 there while trying hard not to, as the children in my charge become more desperate to experience the fun they think they should be having.
Chihuly will be able to fill fun forest shoes with his own kind of carnival barker. More later.

What Seattle needs is a real roller coaster.
