Seattle's goofy old-timey streetcars will have a new home. Maybe. Seattle PI reports the generous granting of $1M to the project to build a new maintenance barn for the little green death machines. We're told the project will top out around $9M with the Port, King County Metro and some parking lot scoundrel named Greg Smith kicking in the rest. All we know about Mr. Smith is that he owns the parking lot adjacent to the proposed barn and, presumably, will do ok on the transaction. The thought of a parking lot maven teaming up with the Port people and the find folks at King County Metro gives us a small case of the heebie jeebies. Really, though, we don't give a hoot. We're just happy to have the nuisance issue out of our backyard to make way for the glorious Olympic Sculpture Park.
