What's on the minds of TNT editorial writers

By the time the 2008 Tall Ships Tacoma festival begins in July, a 400-foot-long public esplanade will be open on the water side of the historic Balfour Dock Building on the Foss Waterway. That's an architect's rendering shown here.

This good news comes in the Foss Waterway Seaport's spring newsletter, Seaport Today. The esplanade project began last summer when the Foss Waterway Development Authority took out a deteriorating wharf that supports part of the 107-year-old building. The building will be the home of the Seaport, formerly known as the Working Waterfront Museum.

Go here to see progress on the wharf work. A couple more tidbits from the newsletter:

Former Weyerhaeuser executive Bill Holland has taken over as board president, and the Seaport has hit the $1 million mark in its two-year, $12 million capital campaign.
