re: UPDATED: Yes, Wal-Mart is Eyeing Hayden Island for New Stor
I live on Hayden Island. No way could the island handle Walmart traffic. It would be like Christmas, year round, when it takes up to two hours to move a hundred feet in a car. Interstate 5 from Lombard up to and over the bridge is done--over cooked. The city would really have to out-dumb themselves to allow Walmart to build here. The only thing that would console me if Walmart lands here is if Walmart paid to expand MAX to Vancouver now--paid for all of it. Because it will be mostly tax-saving Vancouver shoppers clogging up I-5 worse than it already is. And it's intolerable now because of Vancouver commuters. The problem is I don't see Walmart shoppers using Max. How would they transport all their super-saver items? I give up. Never mind.
