A lot is changing on a daily basis as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, and it’s difficult to keep track of all that’s going on and how our lives are being affected. Check here for news and updates about the Pioneer Square neighborhood and our broader community.

The post I did about the new banners for P2 was recently highlighted in The Stranger (link). My first reaction to it was a negative one. Instead of the usual sarcastic commentary about "what are the banners going to do" or "maybe banner will help...
