In addition to needing a school (and supermarkets and drug stores), center city needs one or more new parks that are large enough to play frisbee. Such a park could be combined with, be a part of the new school's playground A downtown (excuse me, “center city”) school must also include a playground/park of more than postage-stamp size.

It's two large blocks, probably five acres -- it could fit not only an elementary, but a limited-enrollment K-12, or a full-enrollment K-8. It's available -- in fact it might be an equal trade with the stadium site. There's an existing skybridge to take gym classes to the Center. It's within walking distance for a sizeable percentage of the Greater Downtown population. It fits the Seattle Center's mission of becoming a more active center. In fact, the two blocks might be extravagant given land values. It could be one block. My suggestion is the Mercer garage site at the Seattle Center.
