Neat interactive feature from the Seattle Times on development around MLK light-rail stations.
It will be interesting to watch how MLK evolves differently than Rainier Avenue going forward. The two streets parallel each other, of course, but Rainier was developed auto-centrically, with the big Lowe’s and QFC stores with their massive parking lots out front. MLK was largely undeveloped in recent years, and so now it’s going to get re-developed in a transit-friendly way. Let’s check back in 20 years and see how different the two thoroughfares are. I think you can guess which one I think will succeed.
