Dear Editor,

I don't get it.

Elevated SR 99 in Downtown Seattle would perish in an earthquake, but the multimillion-dollar, eight-lane planned elevated Sodo SR 99 over Spokane Street is an engineering triumph that would overcome any series of vast earth tremors.

Do earthquakes only demolish road structures that obscure great views of the Emerald City waterfront?

I really do not understand.
