Asarco Property Development Deal Moving?

Ruston’s Asarco property, with its seventy years of industrial goodness, may be a few steps closer toward redevelopment.  A deal was announced today between the federal government, Asarco, and the developer, Point Ruston LLC, that would clean up the site and bring a mixed use project to the area.  Now we can get a few more $million condos in town…  You know, all I really want is a way to bike from Ruston Way to Point Defiance without going through that tunnel.  Let’s clean up enough so that we can get a bike path for crying out loud.

    sorry. exit133 has been so depressing lately… just can’t force myself to do it anymore.

    we need more daniel blue coverage. his king of diamonds song is the funniest thing ever. and the music video is soooo bad it’ll cheer you up. to be honest the only thing you can do about this thing called ‘tacoma’ is find the humor in it. then you’ll come around. just look at it through a parks and recreations filter. but yeah i know, i bet it’s been a long winter. i always run out just about now when living in WA. then the summer charges you up just in time for another cold and wet gloomy ass fucking. but that’s what alcohol is for right?? and after a few decades of that shit you’ll turn into a kathie lee gifford and find yourself applying to .gov job.

    hey well if exit133 was motivated to cover DB things would be different. Fur coats and ‘normal’ people in slow motion.. man.

    I’ve been waiting for the last City Council Meeting minutes… but lately this website has been about arts, only. I wouldn’t mind a little calendar-of-events on the side margin, but these perpetual articles don’t offer a lot of discussion-motivation unless you’re standing there in the gallery…

    maybe you fellows didn’t notice, but this blog is on auto-pilot with a collision course directly into the sun. I checked, all the escape pods have been jettisoned. Audios Amigos! (leaps out air lock)

    Which leads to the question if you have to jettison your escape pod and had to take one person or animal with you given the choice between Daniel Blue, a spitting cobra, Gary Busey, Michelle Bachmann, a rabid raccoon, or the guy who keeps annoyingly announcing the judgement day, who would you save? (Knowing it could take 3 weeks for rescue crews to find you.)
