Doomed Alaska Way Viaduct:
My esteemed governess, Christine, has made it clear that she’s going to knock down the viaduct by 2012 whether there’s a plan to replace it or not. I thought you might like to see some of the reasons we think it’s too shaky.

The thing that looks like ivy growing up the support is actually the Nisqually Earthquake. I didn’t know it but apparently earthquakes can grow like vines. If we cut that off the support it might fall.
The old Fremont Troll (sometimes called the Montlake Troll) has moved to the viaduct in hopes of scaring away the next earthquake. Hope it works.
The main viaduct is dark gray in front of the buildings. Notice on the lower left is a parking lot sign that says you have to pay to park under the structure. No liability if it falls on your car.
The South Lake Union Streetcar (SLUT) blue car is shown here even though it doesn’t go to Alaska Way. It’s just a fun thing.
