The new bourgeois performance hall at center; how much more outstandingly inappropriate could it be? It is a monstrosity, totally out of keeping with the architecture of the neighborhood.

Was it meant to be a cathedral to the fine arts? It overshadows in height the other churches on the Island. Could it have been located on the Eastern side of the lot lowering its profile with park like landscaping street side?

How long will it be before the other corners get the prices they can’t refuse and we have retail on the first floor and 3-4 stories of condos in a high rise for Vashon ghetto?
