Welcome to the Save Our Zoo blog, dedicated to saving Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo from a massive, mall-like parking garage and other commercialization ventures. We love the zoo but feel the addition of a four-story, 700-car steel structure covering more than an acre, or more space than the zoo's beloved elephants, is a huge step in the wrong direction. It deprives animals of much-needed space, it encourages the car culture at a time when Seattle's Green Ribbon Commission and Comprehensive Plan direct the city in just the opposite direction, it will lose money at taxpayer response and will create untold traffic congestion and transportation bottlenecks in the neighborhood.
The Save Our Zoo blog will supplement the Phinney Ecovillage's Save Our Zoo Web site, which has tracked the garage mess over the past two years. We'll have frequent news updates and will invite comments from all parties involved in the ongoing controversy. Thanks for visiting, and don't be shy about weighing in with comments!
