BAD NEWS: Of the four currently-being-debated plans for renovating Seattle Center, three of them (all except the “do nothing” plan) call for razing the Fun Forest. The slightly seedy but still functional Forest is Washington state’s last permanent, year-round (more or less), pre-Disney-style amusement park. It’s as close as you can get here to old-time “carny” culture. It shouldn’t be scrapped for an undefined “family activity area.” It should be preserved, even upgraded to compete with the likes of Wild Waves.
