It’s worth hammering again and again on that point about how long the waits will be if all that coal moves through our area. 1-2 hour waits PER DAY, 365 days per year, is just incredible. I wonder if there is info available comparing this delay to the current levels in places like Marysville or SoDo? Would breaking the trains up into smaller chunks be feasible for the coal companies? Or would the additional overhead and train employees they’d need to pay ruin the economic story for them?
Also: Thursday, Dec 13th at the Washington State Convention Center from 4pm to 7pm is the Environmental Impact Meeting. More hammering!
thank you for this video. I learned so much. It would be a shame if this project goes through. This is one of those stories that deserves a lot of media attention. Is the Seattle Times and our local news outlets covering this story?
