At least Seattle is used to tough love. Remember the 80's Boeing bust, or was it the 70's Boeing bust, when the slogan was "would the last person out of Seattle please turn out the lights?" Maybe they can stop the boom-bust cycle, just do the bust from now on -g-

Wish all cities were this realistic:

We had all the money, all the fame, all the answers. We'd perfected the modern version of alchemy, turning financial dross into pure gold by selling stock in companies with no revenues, no profits, no clue. We took a mundane, truck-stop and diner beverage, made it tony and persuaded the world to pay several bucks for a cup of it. Our civic leaders, having completely and permanently solved all of Seattle's problems, felt at leisure to lecture the rest of the world on their ills and how to fix them, like telling Eastern Washington to tear down those nasty Snake River dams.
