Let’s float an idea to meet the challenge: Using WSU’s statewide footprint; UW’s iconic presence; A strategic partnership with State leaders, business and National Labs could leverage our two great research universities into a “PNW Research Triangle”transforming, the region.

🚨 ICONIC COLUMBIA TOWER CLUB SHUTS DOWN AFTER 41 YEARS 🚨 Seattle’s legendary private club — perched atop the city’s tallest building with 360° views where billion-dollar deals were sealed — is now dark. Furniture cleared. Lights off. Doors locked for good. The Columbia Tower Club, a downtown staple since 1985, closed its doors on April 30, 2026 (restaurant area April 24). Members are being shifted to another club in South Lake Union. Why? Downtown Seattle’s office vacancy rate is crushing it at ~36-38% — highest in the nation. Companies fleeing. Amazon cutting space. Starbucks shifting major ops to Nashville. Even Howard Schultz eyeing Miami. And Seattle’s Mayor Katie Wilson’s response to the millionaire/business exodus? “If they leave… like bye.” 👋 (with a laugh and wave) This isn’t just one club closing. It’s a glaring symbol of a downtown hollowing out under extreme policies, high taxes, crime, and uncertainty. Is this the beginning of the end for Seattle’s core? Or can it bounce back? Drop your thoughts below 👇 What would it take to save downtown? #Seattle #ColumbiaTowerClub #DowntownDecay

Walla Walla and Palouse still look strong. North of Snake has a chance. Have not been along Highway 2 for a while. We are all fighting rust, but emerging heads look decent so far.

I enjoy fresh eggs; a local family has a classic wagon parked near a road - their “store.” Honor system, eggs in the wagon; drop box for money; and eggs not stolen, and neither the cash: Try that in Portland . No need to mock folks who choose peace and honorable neighbors.
