Let’s not try to emulate Paris with “love locks” on Seattle bridges. Please.
IT is wonderful that couples want to commemorate their love in Seattle. The city’s beauty is a perfect backdrop to declare eternal devotion.
But there are more original and romantic ways to do so than hanging a padlock on a local bridge, namely the bleak pedestrian overpass along Marion Street that now has hundreds of these “love locks.”
With all due respect to the sentiment of those enchanted in the Emerald City, this micro-trend is a thin attempt to emulate a problematic fad emanating from Paris.
