NO!!!!!
A developer just bought a large chunk of land in Columbia City - one of Seattle’s coolest little neighborhoods. While I normally wouldn’t be very upset about this, I am VERY troubled by a statement the developer made in the Seattle PI. He wants Columbia City to be the next Fremont. If that means that the cool, local feeling goes away and in comes a yuppy, corporate feel, then I am TOTALLY against this. Fremont is such a joke in Seattle… all of the locally owned businesses have given way to frat-infested clubs and chain-ish restaurants.
I feel like I need to put a “Save Columbia City” bumper sticker on our car.
