SCENARIO: Mariella was driving from Flagstaff, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada listening to her favorite radio station. As she reached Hoover Dam, the radio tuned out on her and Mariella was hearing nothing, but static. What do you think happened?

by Michael @ NW Lens

Seattle, home to such American institutions as Starbucks, indie music and Microsoft, is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest. Known as the Emerald City for the surrounding lush forests, the area is a unique mix of stunning mountain views and a thriving city-center. Cutting-edge culture and art venues rub elbows with elegant theaters and restaurants. At the heart of Seattle, luxury hotel suites provide a fantasy escape from everyday life.

Pike Place Market

A piece of Pacific Northwest history that should not be missed, Pike Place Market – or simply, the Public Market – is a Seattle landmark. Pike Place is one of the country’s longest continuously operating public markets and features several levels of shopping overlooking Elliott Bay. On the upper street level, you’ll find fishmongers bringing in the day’s catch, fresh produce, local artisans displaying their handiwork and the most gorgeous array of locally grown tulips available in practically every color of the rainbow.

On lower levels, the market offers a wide variety of shops and restaurants, including antique dealers, art galleries and the very first Starbucks location. Families traveling together will appreciate the kid-friendly restaurants and discerning shoppers may discover a hidden treasure in a dusty antique market. Whatever your passion, Pike Place Market has the answer.

The market opened in 1907, and today enjoys more than 10 million visitors annually, making it one of Washington’s premier tourist destinations. In addition to sightseers, Pike Place is home to some 200 commercial businesses, 300 farmers and artists who rent tables by the day, 240 street performers and 300 apartment units reserved for low-income, elderly residents.

The Space Needle

No trip to Seattle is complete without a visit to the Space Needle. Built in 1962 for the World’s Fair, today the Space Needle is home to Sky City, the revolving restaurant that serves up a spectacular view of the Seattle skyline along with superbly prepared local delicacies. You’ll gaze upon the vistas of the Olympic Mountains, Mount Rainier, the Cascade Mountains and Elliott Bay, all without leaving your seat.

Don’t miss the opportunity to take in the view from the observation deck, perched 520 feet above the city. On a clear day, the view of the surrounding mountains and islands that dot Puget Sound is stunning. On any day, the 43-second ride to the top in an elevator traveling ten miles per hour is alone worth the trip.

Wine Tasting and Tours

The Pacific Northwest is home to a large and successful community of winemakers and vineyards, and downtown Seattle sports more than 29 wineries and 21 wine bars. If wine is your passion, you’ll find many places to savor the area’s offerings. Local vineyards, wineries, and boutique hotels schedule tours and tastings, where you’ll have the opportunity to sample flavors you might otherwise miss.

Whether traveling on business or pleasure, take some time out to enjoy the unique sights of Seattle. Boutique hotel accommodations, modern musical fashion, the catch of the day at Pike Place Market, world-class wineries and more all combine to make Seattle an eclectic, exciting vacation destination.

Image by Michigan Municipal League (MML)
The Michigan Senate Finance committee Thusday, Nov. 4, 2010 took testimony on a package of bills that the League has been pushing for a couple of years. The League’s Summer Minnick, Director of State Affairs for the League, testified along with Shea Charles, City Manager of Howell and Chair of the League’s Municipal Finance committee as well as Beach Hall, Mayor of Rogers City on the importance of these bills. The bills, HBs 5550 – 5554 would, generally speaking, allow local communities the opportunity to refinance existing non-voted debt in order to better handle challenging fiscal times. Many communties have expressed an interest in these bills and the committee hearing is a great step forward in this process. The bills have already passed the House. There was a substitute adopted that made minor changes to the approval process and we now are optimistic that the bills will be passed at the next Senate Finance committee next week. This is one of the League’s lame duck priorities and we are hopeful we can get the legislature to provide some tools for struggling municipalities before the end of this session! For more about the League and what we do go to mml.org. For additional blog posts by Summer Minnick and other League staff go here: www.mml.org/advocacy/inside208

In the city of Spokane, and probably other cities in Washington, a street musician is required to have a business license or permit to play music. Some, but not all businesses oppose musicians from playing in front of their establishments, even if a person playing is over 10 feet away from doorways. Some private security patrols ruthlessy harrass street musicians. Some business along with the security , who oppose, say they own the sidewalks. Also in Spokane, with a business license in hand, a person is not allowed to play in the downtown Riverfront Park. A Seattle street musician recommended to get as much favorable publicity as possible to help embrace the music culture. Your views rather opinion, and/or fact, pro, and/or con would much appreciated.
Harpman Hatter Spokane Street Musician
Lets look at the question, What laws are there, is the main point of the question.
I am a spokane street musician, play the blues, and play it well. I also have a business license and do not oppose having one. I earn my money playing on the streets and the people here in spokane are supportive. The question is being asked is more for the sake of other musicians who are harrassed.
So any further comments with this extra info would be appreciated, but please if you could help answer the question, I just get the run around, or stumped on where to look for the laws.

Answer by raichasays
Sounds like you know the laws, but disagree with them and the method of their enforcement?

I have lived in areas with high concentrations of street “entertainers”. I agree that permits should be required and that local businesses should have a say in that process. Why? Because a lot of these “entertainers” are doing little more than panhandling and driving away patrons of taxpaying brick and mortar businesses.

Regulation also keeps competition on the street from becoming a turf war. In the last year, at least two fights have broken out on Hollywood Boulevard among the “entertainers” dressed as Wookies and other characters, who were battling over the photo opp with tourists. This is not good for tourism or local business and certainly does nothing for the reputation of entertainers at large.

What do you think? Answer below!
