Parking is going to get a whole lot tougher on Broadway and in the Pike/Pine corridor. First, the city is planning changes to how the parking rules work in the area. Now, Seattle Central is proposing a plan to replace the school's parking garage at Pine and Harvard with a new science building. It's not clear from the notice whether SCCC is planning to replace or only utilize the open space near the garage. Looking into it. Stand by.

Science trumps parking... again!
From the land-use notice:
Land Use Application to allow a new 1,800 sq. ft. structure (Greenhouse/ Plant Sciences Building) for existing institution (Seattle Central Community College) in an environmentally critical area. Project includes minor amendment to the major institution master plan. Determination of non-significance prepared by Seattle Central Community College.
Comments are being taken through November 12th. We side with the greenhouse on this one. We're hoping those SCCC students produce bumper crops of Capitol Hill tomatoes. All in the name of science, of course.
