Those should be some of the first things replanted. If anything will grow there again.

well, it is a relief to know that the only reason that burg is a ####hole is because it was logged 150 years ago.

Yup, another thing to blame on logging.

Now, how far does Alder seed blow? We'll start with that species because it will start up on its own if the seed can blow far enough in. We may need to plant it!:msp_scared: Not to worry, my transplanted alder is doing very well.

There's a coyote in my neighborhood I would also like to send there. It has a most annoying yap, and drives the dogs crazy.
 
Okay, here are the steps...

1. Clear out all of the citizens in the suburbs.
2. Clear out all of the citizens in the city.
3. Removal of the Space Needle is optional.
4. Plant trees and such, and let nature reclaim the city and suburbs again.

:popcorn: Waiting for videos and pics... :popcorn:

Bad Promac610! BAD! Go sit in the corner.

Leaving the Needle intact would surely attract the most heinous of scavengers... Eco-Tourists! I can see it now... amid the massive timbers sits a veritable strip-mall of kiosks where visitors can buy organically-grown Space Needle replicas. The rotating restaurant deck? Powered by exploited native Sasquatch, laboring in sub-human squalor! Worst of all? A Starbucks in the crown of every tree! It would be just like it is now, only without the honest street beggars, buskers, and drug dealers. Do you really want that? Do you?

Didn't think so.

The Space Needle would easily be remodeled into a lookout tower-- the trap door can be kept shut. No power for the rotating part not even bigfoots--remember we're returning it to a wilderness state.

lol...

I personally would take the Needle out. :)

Like I said, kick the people out, put them on an island in the Pacific for all us barbarians care... then get to work and make Seattle a forest again... all buildings would be obliterated... logging would resume... :cheers:

Might have to move a few big redwoods in with 200+ Chinook helicopters handling each one, since most of the forest will be little saplings. Not worth cutting them little trees down... so go big or go home...

I'm hearing the song of the PM850 in my left ear right now... been noodling maple all day...

(Puts dunce hat on and sits in the corner)
 
Logging cannot resume. It'd turn back into....Seattle, and the whole idea is to turn Seattle into the pristine, old growth forest it once was.
Make the treehuggers who live there walk their talk! Restoration of forests should start at their door. After all, they are living in a huge clearcut with nothing but a few wildlife clumps.

I want to see it restored to a wild, scenic forest where I can go and play and see the wolves and grizzlies in the wild. If I want.
If we want a working forest, we'll just convert Tacoma. Tacoma is more of a working class town anyway.
 
SlowP,

When you get done with your re-forrestation, and ridding Seattle of the invasive Parasites, I need you to assist with our project here.

Re-introduction of Wolves, Cougars, Bison,Bears and Badgers in the Greater Chitcago and Detroit areas.
Not even gonna bother with Re-forrestation as it will happen naturally as soon as the Limo liberal yuppies and Hippie freaks get eaten.

Where I need your help is in how to plan for errosion to naturally close the Chitcago canals faster, and before the Chitcago flying Carp vote thier way into the Great lakes, and ruin things. Your experience in the matter and help would be appreciated.

Stay safe!

This has nothing to do with Liberals vs Conservatives. This is simply forming another environmental group to save our giant wetland, Puget Sound. In fact, the National Park Service will take over management of the wilderness we create. Let's keep the nasty politics out of this thread.
 
Problems

I don't think I like the way this thread is headed. If you guys, and gal, de-populate Seattle where are all the people going to live? A lot of them probably moved up there from California and their natural reaction to being displaced might be to move back here.

We don't want them back. We don't want them at all. For years we've been encouraging our malcontents, our perpetually dissatisfied, and our politically liberal Californians to move north. It's been working, too, as a lot of you found out. We've managed to ship great numbers of stuck-in-the-sixties ,Volvo driving, organic food eating, natural fiber wearing, college educated but basically clueless, middle aged slaves to whatever social causes happen to be fashionable at the time, up north where they'll be happy. Well, maybe not happy...but out of our sight and sound anyway. And we don't care, okay? They're your problem now. We like it that way. I know that's a selfish attitude but we seem to be dealing with it.

So...you need to figure this out. Work on it a little. Give it some thought. Where are the people going to go? Maybe a nice island in Alaska? Northern Nevada? The Antarctic? Cleveland?

Just don't send them back here. Please. :laugh:


I'll bet my PNW passport is about to be revoked.

They can go to Texas. There's jobs there. Perhaps they can improve the coffee?

Yes, the native Texans can use them to beat out the fires there. A fine idea.

Tell them there is free coffee and aura readings. Give them a piece of sisal rope to tie around there necks with an ID card to assist in identification, and for use as a handle when they get there.
 
kinda grew up in the Seattle area, rural mostly. as a kid, in the 60's, there was a lot to like about it. 'bout all of my family (parents and a bunch of uncles) worked at Boeing. Seemed like a lot tougher town then. Still some industrial hold out there, fact probably more industry than the phony sheite that it's become known for. Maybe we could just blow the foam off the top and have it be a real city again. I'd visit, it is a stunning setting, same for Vancouver.

The Old Gastown and Pike's Place were the best memories of those cities.
Hotel Vancouver was laid back easy going then (50-60 bucks a nite), Bet that
has changed and much more spendy.
All clean up and just trinket town stuff now.
Old Town in Portland has probly been beauified by now.

Got my vote to cut and fill....:laugh:
