War, at home as abroad, was an inevitability the moment Trump regained power and our institutions largely began to fold in compliance - a violation of Timothy Snyder's 1st lesson on Fascism.

This is UW Tacoma’s long term plan. Not sure how feasible some interim uses for the land would be.

Nothing will remind you that we do not actually share One Seattle like riding your bike from the south end to UW along Lake Washington Boulevard.
