Do we really need another downtown parking garage?
Editor, The Times:
How dare you, Seattle.
More than 60 years past a remarkable generation of Americans, our friends, fathers, mothers, grandparents and our youth, joined forces during World War II. Now 62 years later, our city of Seattle is planning to desecrate a war memorial dedicated to our youth, who gave their all fighting for our freedoms [“The end of Memorial Stadium?,” page one, Nov. 25].
Some of those youth never returned, and their resting place is Memorial Stadium.
How dare you, Seattle?
Seattle’s Memorial Stadium was dedicated Thanksgiving Day 1947 to honor this remarkable generation. How soon we forget the sacrifices our youth made going into war directly out of Seattle schools.
Shame on you, Seattle to even think about desecrating a war memorial honoring those youth and our future youth. Do we really need another parking garage in lieu of a war memorial? The Seattle Center and Seattle Public Schools staff have reached a tentative agreement to do just that.
