Paul Allen will be one of the recipients of this year’s King County First Citizen award. He was picked for his support of numberous areas including health and human services causes, dedication to the advancement of science, technology and the arts, and generous donations to various foundations in Seattle. As a founder of Vulcan Inc, he is well known for his high profile developments in South Lake Union (2200 Westlake, Enso, Rollin and Veer Lofts) which created quite a buzz from 2004-2006. With his contributions to Seattle, I think he well deserves this award.
That is good news. Paul Allen has done so much for our city and should be recognized for this.
i agree. in fact, it seems like allen is more active in seattle than bill.
Well said – I agree. I know a lot of people like to criticize him, but without him Seattle would be in a much worse place. Hope to see more local involvement from Bill at some point, but I guess he is more outwardly focused.
