"Seattle's transportation politics have been a story of woe, an ongoing saga of missed opportunities, frustrated plans and blown budgets. But there's a new breed of bureaucrat working at the City's spanking new City Hall, a newly named Planning Department, a new attitude to ideas, and some new Council members. Initiatives are flowing under a strong mayor who is leading the way to a denser downtown, with a web of transportation services. After a long, bitter season of economic and social reverses, there's a sense in Seattle that maybe things are finally coming together for the Emerald City."
