Q: Mr. Federal Way, I’m not the only person in Federal Way that’s upset with all the new multi-family construction. The city’s poor planning makes it madness. What is the city going to do to stop this?

A: Mr. Federal Way has said how unfairly apartment-dwellers have been treated recently. A City Hall hug-it-out after our three murders turned into a yell-about-apartment-folk bonanza with shocking speed (despite certain empty suits saying that didn’t happen), with the folks who were there implying that renters were somehow responsible.

It was dumb then and it’s dumb now. That said, Mr. Federal Way sees your point here.

Smearing apartment folks is very different from saying the buildings they occupy were poorly prepared. Adding 300 units in 15 buildings to South 320th Street is, in a word, really freakin’ stupid. Mr. Federal Way has given up on 320th already, going beneath it instead (something that gives Mr. Federal Way the chance to say “hi’ to the sewer kids, which he’ll do as soon as he sees them – and he will, because how can the national press be wrong (check waaaaay at the bottom)?). Our leaders passed a moratorium long after the train had left the station. It’s something, Mr. Federal Way guesses, but it’s like someone sweeping up the ashes of a building they torched: It’s nice they’re helping, but it’d be nicer if they hadn’t walked away from an open flame to begin with.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, were you happy with the Seahawks’ season-opener?

A: None of your business.
