Today's Seattle Post-Intelligencer contains the strongest newspaper editorial to date on the Woodland Park Zoo parking garage controversy. An excerpt:
The zoo has applied limited creativity to its current parking problems. A sunny day such as Saturday already brings many more cars than zoo parking can handle. But people seem to find a spot, often immediately or with a bit of circling, or they head to the abundant street spots nearby.
One point the editorial makes that is often overlooked in the heat of the garage battle: "The zoo has an interest in getting along with the city, which owns the property, and neighbors, who have a rather better record of support for the institution than zoo leaders seem to think."
All along, we at Save Our Zoo have emphasized that we love the zoo but feel a massive parking garage, besides taking space and funding away from animals, steers the Zoo Society down a path of financial disaster.
