WELL, YOU HAD plenty to say about my June 25 story, 'What do tourists ask most about Seattle?' What comes across is how much you love this city, and this state. You get emotional when it comes to downtown Seattle and its well-publicized woes. Something else comes across: Whatever problems we're facing, we'll get through this. Back in 1969, Perry Como had a hit song called ' Seattle ' that included the lyrics 'the bluest skies you've ever seen in Seattle.' Not during our falls and winters, but, for sure, in the sense that the Seattle we know is there.
