The comments in the article actually do a pretty good job of conveying various points of view: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.seattletimes.com&#x2F;seattle-news&#x2F;transportation&#x2F;bertha-restarts-after-two-years-of-delays&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.seattletimes.com&#x2F;seattle-news&#x2F;transportation&#x2F;bert...</a><p>I live north of King County, so I don&#x27;t have any personal insights beyond what I&#x27;ve already posted.  My main concern is how much responsibility the state will have to bear for cost overruns.  SR99 is technically a state-level project, even though it has little relevance to anyone outside Seattle.  It&#x27;s safe to say Seattle will try very hard to make the rest of us pay for their mistakes.
