My name is Bob Fleming, and I am very interested in seeing a greatly improved transportation system for Seattle and other improvements to make this area a better place to work, study, and get around.

I have several sites about various modes of transportation and certain local areas that are being developed. This “Greater Seattle” site is a new one that I plan to use to show how the various projects would fit together and interact to make Seattle and the surrounding area better.

The word “greater” can have several meanings, three of which could apply in “Greater Seattle.”

The usual meaning of Greater Seattle is the larger area centered on Seattle as a core. Greater Seattle includes Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, south King County, Shoreline, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, Lake Forest Park, and south Snohomish County. By expanding the area a bit it could also include the Everett area and the Tacoma area. I am considering this whole expanded area in my visions.

Greater Seattle could also mean a better Seattle, and that is my dream in coming up with these ideas.

Finally, Greater Seattle could mean a more important Seattle, and I think that with the ideas I have, Seattle could become better known throughout the World because of better transportation systems, better facilities, and more world-famous events. It would become an even greater tourist destination than it is now. The Seattle area would attract more conventions and major sports and cultural events. More businesses would set up operations in this area.

The menu at the left provides a list of links to sites with my ideas.
