McDonald’s wants to put a new store in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID). Almost nobody thinks that’s a good idea. They are decidedly not loving it.

On Lake Union and Portage Bay, longtime floating home residents are moving on, and young families are taking their place. For many newcomers, the draw is as much the close-knit community as the uniqueness of the homes. Neighbors see each other daily, stopping to chat on shared docks, and that sense of community is part of the appeal. Inside, though, the homes are private and quiet, and docks are usually silent by 9 PM.
