Seattle Plans on (short) leave
Yesterday Seattle Plans went on an unannounced, last-minute vacation. Sorry, this sort of thing happens during the summer. Posting will continue on Monday with the news links.
Hey, Charles (at The Stranger's Slog) finally picked up on the tiling at 5th & Madison. Did you think he would not have thoughts? His big question:
Hey, Charles (at The Stranger's Slog) finally picked up on the tiling at 5th & Madison. Did you think he would not have thoughts? His big question:
Why did the architects choose something that opposes, that works against, that almost undoes the modernistic sleekness of the tower? Most of 5th and Madison appears to be rational (the best type of architecture—or ecotecture), and this considerable confusion of tiles appears to be so whimsical. It’s not entirely bad, just remarkably odd.

Original Content: Coming tomorrow!
Finally, you can expect some real journalism on Seattle Plans.
Tomorrow I'll be at the DSA's Annual Event. While I won't be live-blogging, I will provide you with a full report sometime afterward. I say sometime because tomorrow evening I plan on attending an early design-review meeting you care about to give you a second original report the following day. Bonus!

A reevaluation of the Seattle Plans plan.
Having now realized the time commitment necessary to blog, I'm going to need to rethink the focus of this blog.
I'd like to cover new development and provide some analysis and original content. But it's hard to do that without the time necessary for it. Until I have more time, then, I think you're going to have to expect a lot of links to other sites that are already devoting some time to this. It sounds like a recipe for blog-death, but I'm hoping that as this blog develops, someone out there will appreciate a clearinghouse of Seattle development news culled from a multitude of sources. I know it's something I've wanted for a long time.
To get this blog rolling, I'm going to try a regular feature every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday updating you on all of the development news since the previous update. I'll use this as a base and, time permitting, try to intersperse these regular posts with light analysis, market updates, construction photos, rumours, or whatever else might be interesting. Later today I'll do a live test.
Less talking about the blog and more actual blogging will commence now.
I'd appreciate any tips (about the blog or missed coverage) and feedback. You can email seattleplans@gmail.com or leave a comment below.
