No one was charged here, precedent set, so maybe someone will step up to the plate a take that one down.

The statue isn’t downtown, but in an area called Fremont, which borders the ship canal that bisects the city. It’s right down the street from the funeral home that handled my mother’s funeral, and it’s near a café or tavern called the Red Star.

Actually, John W. Pinnell put Seattle on the map. He ran a string of brothels on the Barbary Coast of San Francisco in the 1870s and expanded his operations into Seattle when it was just a sawmill town. He quickly turned it into the Las Vegas of Puget Sound. It was the place for a lumberjack or sailor to have himself a good time at a reasonable price.

lumberjacks is an est coast word inappropriately applied to men who do not make lumber.

Logger is the correct word on the west coast because they make logs not lumber.

it went up in the late 70s or certainly by 81

Lenin is perfect for WA State. Guy kills 20 million of his own people to keep the USSR safe for Communism. There is a statue of him right in front of everyone, and nobody cares one bit about the history.

But hang the Stars and Bars outside your watering hole and get ready for the monkeys to start the poo-flinging.

Now the city needs a Karl Marx statue. Later, one for Che, then.....
