HELP NAME THE CRANE
Submissions, vote will add a name for the large machine
Residents have regularly paused along the fence next to the former Safeway site in upper Queen Anne to watch the progress of construction, in particular the enormous crane being used to do the heavy lifting. Now, people can help name the crane, which towers over the hill and can be seen from Interstate 5 and the ferries crossing Puget Sound.
