Put high rises along Columbia St.

To the Editor - The Olympian, January 30, 2008

An article on more high rises on the isthmus begs comment. They would be a disaster in that location, destroying the priceless view to the north from the Capitol Campus, Capitol Lake and Heritage Park.

I favor the city's desire for market rate housing downtown. There are a number of excellent sites on and east of Columbia Street that would not compromise the view over the isthmus.
