King 5 News had a piece late last week about the Winslow Way reconstruction project.
Reporter Eric Wilkinson found only discontent among the shoppers, tourists and business owners he spoke with.
One woman went so far as to call Winslow our “little Beirut.”
Another voice noted that shoppers would need the help of Sacajawea to navigate the maze of construction work.

King 5 News has a story about Grow Community, a large housing development set to take shape along Wyatt Way and Grow Avenue.
It’s aim is to be fully solar powered and to foster an earth-friendly lifestyle that’s oriented toward walking, cycling and growing food.
I had a story about it earlier this month, which you can read here.
Unlike most big developments on Bainbridge, Grow Community has drawn little criticism (so far). At a recent public meeting, most of the concerns were about traffic impacts. The development’s designers gave assurances that they’d actually be improving the area’s transportation infrastructure by adding sidewalks and bike lanes along Wyatt and Grow.
Grow Community will begin building an eventual 137 homes in May.
King 5’s Eric Wilkinson had a report Friday on Bainbridge’s declining groundwater supply.
Water level declines reported in a USGS study released last week confirmed what earlier studies and anecdotal data have hinted at for years.
