Please do all that you can to stop Walmart from opening a big box store at Hayden Island. The traffic congestion already exceeds the highway's capacity. The I-5 bridge is the largest single bottlneck to interstate commerce on the West coast and any solutions to this are years and billions of dollars away.

In addition, Walmart is the best example of the worst business partner that a community could have. They make no investments in the local community (except minimum wage jobs with low benefits). They make no investments in schools, arts, local charities, or anything else of value. All profits are sucked out of the local economy and go right back to Bentonville, Arkansas and corporate shareholders.

And, WHY IN THE WORLD, doesn't the Yellow Line go to Jantzen Beach?? What were the commissioners thinking?
