Seattle vs. Vancouver


A battle of minds: which is the best city?

It's the argument of the century: which is better, Seattle or Vancouver?

It's an issue near and dear to many of our hearts. And this week, two of Cascadia's most provocative thinkers (and friends of Sightline) will duke it out in a no-holds-barred, anything-goes debate.

OK -- that might be an exaggeration. But I bet they will have some interesting things to say on the issue. Gordon Price (from Vancouver) will be arguing for Seattle, and Peter Steinbrueck (from Seattle) will be arguing for Vancouver.

The details:

Vancouver debate:

  • When: Tuesday, June 16 7:00-8:30 (debate), 8:30-9:30 (reception)
  • Where: Simon Fraser University at Harbour Centre, 515 West Hastings Street

Seattle debate:

  • When: Thursday, June 18 6:00-7:30 (debate), 7:30-8:30 (reception)
  • Where: Seattle Public Library, Microsoft Auditorium, 1000 Fourth Ave

Both are free, so check it out. Read more on Via Architecture's blog.
