We have no desire to appear in a pessimistic role or | to have questioned our thorough belief in Seattle's future and its ability to finally build up a city second only to New York on the Atlantic and Chicago of the Middle West. | But we do believe we have been setting too fast a pace We have allowed the real estate boomer and the grasping | contractor to lead us into water that is dangerously deep.
