I would like to thank you (Rebekah Schilperoort) for your piece on saving Sunset Bowl (Wednesday, Jan. 30 "Petitions circulated to halt loss of Sunset Bowl"). Letting capitalism decide what to build and what to tear down resulted in the loss of a cherished gathering place, filled with history. Seattle would lose a piece of its history if we allow Sunset Bowl to be knocked down to build more condos/apartments. Your reporting of efforts to save Sunset Bowl have inspired me to get involved and see if we can save that wonderful bowling alley.
