Dozens more tower cranes rising over Seattle in coming years

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Last weekend's crane collapse was a somber reminder of how quickly Seattle is growing. Cranes are not going away any time soon, as dozens more significant projects are planned for the coming years.

According to the Downtown Seattle Association, 35 developments are under construction in the city's core this year. There are 33 more projects anticipated for next year. And in 2021, 86 projects will be in various stages of development.

“I think it's part of the city, I think we just have to get used to,” said Chamaine Bekius, a hairstylist at 14th Ave. Hair on Capitol Hill.

The historic wooden building housing the salon is dwarfed by high rise apartment buildings, which are going up around it. Cranes swing over streets and sidewalks, hoisting rebar, glass, and plywood into the sky.

“I’ve lived here 30 years, and this is the craziest that it's been,” Bekius said, noting that all the development has brought a lot more customers into the salon.

1. Huh,gee wonder why,

oh it is a Blue State and just like California Oregon and Nevada,blue states seem to get er done. Have noticed a heck of a lot of Cranes north bound on 95,happened by the two Crane Yards along 15 north of the Strip,the yards are darn empty compared to before Xmas.

Las Vegas Workers Unions are competing with the Seattle area for Iron workers and Construction Workers. Sounds like we are about 6k short at this time. Several projects are being put on hold.

Damn nice living in a blue state once again.
