And you were very kind to the nice young men who showed up at your door.

I am impressed. :) <br />This is a great post. I just finished writing about my own encounter this past Friday (http://www.veganinbellingham.com/2012/07/intentions-adjustments-and-unexpected.html) and then discovered your awesome write-up. While we did not talk about jobs, there were some other interesting points that came up. A highlight for me was when the GPT Rep told me how they planned on leaving so many trees, "you won't even be able to see the terminal!" Looks like that is a common theme they are promoting... :)Clarissa Mansfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982051385939165447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257022282747854387.post-77969806366694656572012-07-07T21:26:50.061-07:002012-07-07T21:26:50.061-07:00Actually you can see the coal dust on the tracks. ...Actually you can see the coal dust on the tracks.

It is some of the only heavy industry land in the county. I think 1400 acres and the associated deep water port. It would seem that even a grain shipment facility would create more jobs. Or more likely literally anything else would create more jobs. The Seattle Port moves about 22 million tons of product each year, I bet it employs a LOT more people. <br /><br />Has anybody analyzed that aspect of this project?<br /><br />FrankFrank Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146759199243658295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257022282747854387.post-77127744611102106812012-07-07T20:30:27.545-07:002012-07-07T20:30:27.545-07:00Great information, Jean!

Because it's just so easy to visualize all these half-ships per day that will be crossing through our salmon fishery. And the American grain being shipped out through the Westshore terminal? Makes for a crunchy cereal, that's for sure.<br /><br />By the way, if anyone is interested in doing something like this (going door to door) for the good guys, we could really use your help. Call or e-mail me and I will get you set up!
