It's like Yogi Berra (I think) said: "No one goes there anymore -- it's too crowded." I share your distress at the difficulty of walking through the grounds and even seeing anything. I am short, and have a hard time in large crowds since I can't see over anyone! I have just returned from two-plus weeks on a road trip through the western part of the U.S. -- Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, etc. I enjoyed the "wide open spaces"and was impressed at the lack of population in many parts of our country. I, too, remember when Seattle was a nice little town, having lived here for more than 30 years. I was interested in your comments about the crowds at Folklife this year.
