After decades of political debate, Seattle is testing a car ban this summer
Some car drivers are angry. They want to drive through here
At the center of the controversy is Mayor Bruce Harrell’s transportation plan, which includes a proposal to make the bustling market more pedestrian-friendly.
However, this proposal is met with staunch opposition from newly elected Seattle City Councilmember Bob Kettle, who argues that eliminating vehicles could have detrimental effects on the market’s vitality.

Looks to me like that market has plenty of vitality
Yup. Every time I’ve visited it’s been very busy.
Its impossible to drive through there. The market is literally inside buildings with tons of foot traffic. Do they just want a picture with the sign?
I never understood why anyone local drove through it. Tourists I can understand, but it’s a drive it once and “holy cow that was a bad idea” experience
