		Cogswell draws a second line, too, starting at the Green Line's downtown Seattle location, shimmying north through Capitol Hill to 520, crossing Lake Washington, moving through Bellevue (where it intersects his first line), and heading northeast to the heart of Redmond.
		Following the example set by Seattle's successful monorail effort, Cogswell is setting out to create a $20 million commission charged with eventually bringing the specifics of a countywide monorail plan to voters.

	DJC.COM: Why green buildings fatten your bottom line, provided by Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce
		Many longtime proponents of green building have always felt sustainably designed buildings would result in productivity improvements, but this has been a tough sell due to the difficulty in objectively measuring productivity on a very limited number of projects.
		From historical and case study data of green and high-performance buildings several rules of thumb have been developed to place the economics of high-performance green buildings in perspective.
		Another rough rule of thumb is green measures that reduce operation and management costs will pay back 10 times faster when the measures also improve productivity, which is the case for nearly all green measures.

		Seattle voters wised up and rejected an unworkable monorail plan, and statewide ballots appeared to favor keeping $5.5 billion worth of gas taxes for highways.
		Now the Seattle Popular Monorail Authority must dissolve itself, pay off tens of millions of dollars in debt, and sell real estate it has acquired—a process that could take years and require ongoing collection of tens of millions more in vehicle-excise taxes.
		Seattle and King County voters apparently are satisfied, meanwhile, that they are getting good value from their local elected officials.

	Don't destroy monorail to build another (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In building its new Green Line monorail, the Elevated Transportation Co. is debating whether to tear down the existing Alweg monorail or preserve it in some way.
		The Alweg serves as a link between Seattle Center and the Metro bus tunnel, and will help the Green Line deliver the surge capacity that is needed during Bumbershoot and Sonics games.
		If the ETC upgrades the Alweg columns, beams and stations as it builds the Green Line, it should at the same time add two new Alweg stations; the cost would be minimal and the increase in revenues substantial.
