Regarding the article, “It’s the last go-round for Iron Horse Railway in Bothell”: I read with sadness about the departure of the unique and delightful one-of-a-kind roadside attraction. To be replaced by what? More wall-to-wall, look-alike apartments and traffic jams.
It reminds one of quite a few years ago when the then mayor of Seattle wanted to get rid of the Pike Street Market. He called it an eyesore and slum. Well, as we well all know this “eyesore” turned out to be a major tourist attraction featured by the flying fish.
Well, the Country Village offers the same thing with the Iron Horse Railway.
Oh, well, make way for eye-numbing, wall-to-wall sameness.
