Westlake Park is packed. And I just walked through the Market, and couldn't see a single outdoor dining table unoccupied. Don't let the haters know that Downtown Seattle is thriving.

The kiosks will help guide visitors to our city, highlight community events, and showcase local businesses which will be great for hosting the World Cup. Emergency buttons and free wifi will provide additional community benefits. Plus, they will provide revenue for streetscape improvements! 2/2
