What would you do if you had the Alaskan Way Viaduct all to yourself for 30 minutes, free of cars and people? Maybe celebrate a birthday, propose to your significant other or stage a flash mob? That’s what the Washington State Department of Transportation wants to know.
- WSDOT is sponsoring the One Last Shot Public Contest where one lucky person and 24 of their friends will win exclusive access to the Viaduct’s downtown section for 30 minutes on Oct. 22. The southern mile of the Viaduct closes for nine days for demolition starting Oct. 21.
To enter, answer the question “What would I do with 30 minutes on the Alaskan Way Viaduct?” in 100 words or less and send it to viaduct@wsdot.wa.gov by Sunday, Oct. 16. The winner will be escorted to a private section of the viaduct at a predetermined time to follow through with their plan. Check the WSDOT website for contest details, rules and restrictions.

Make a day of it at the Pike Place Market Fruit Festival, July 25, 2010. The fun starts at 10:00 a.m. Get there early to enjoy activities–be sure to catch the “Iron Chef” competition at NOON, and then break for lunch. In the afternoon, shop for the season’s best locally grown fruits and veggies before you head home. There will also be plenty of live entertainment. Look for tents lining the west side of Pike Place Market between Pike and Pine Streets.
The highlights of the day is sure to be the friendly “Iron Chef”-style competition between Josh Green of the Virginia Inn and Chef Ron Anderson of Etta’s Seafood who will vie for the title of “Master of the Market.” Each chef will be presented with two secret ingredients at noon. They will then have 20 minutes and $25 to shop from farmers in a mad-dash for ingredients. After the shopping spree they’ll return to the cooking tent to create, in 45 minutes, a dish of their choice. Upon presentation of each creation, judges will merit each based on originality, taste and presentation.
