The P-I reports what should be good news to any resident of Roosevelt and Ravenna: Hugh and Drake Sisley’s multiple-block slum on 65th is going to be razed for denser development. As the newspaper notes, concerns remain about the density of the upcoming construction (will 10 stories really fly in Roosevelt? are North Seattlites really ready for density? ), but the article seems to take most of its assumptions about project height from Sisley’s template-ware website, which has been been around for years and doesn’t necessarily represent the details of the current project.

More creepy, and actually grounded in fact, is that the upcoming buildings will remain the property of the Sisleys under a 99-year lease. Are the folks who hired a white supremacist as their enforcer really who you want managing retail next to Whole Foods?
