MICHAEL SWAN: SCANNING OUR RUSSELL PROPOSAL COPY >>>

This is without doubt the fastest we’ve ever seen this community’s power players move. They’ve come up with $40 million in direct investments, including more than $70 million in local, state and federal tax breaks, and more than $80 million worth of infrastructure and cash.

The big news for everyday Tacomans?

Investment of at least $66 million to turn parts of downtown into a financial services sector, and development of a “grand entrance” to the city. Tacoma Partnership officials promise a fast track development of a “world class” downtown, which won’t be so embarrassing to Russell executives when visiting investors come to town.

We hate scanning. Thanks News Tribune.

Bonus Russell coverage
Police activity went down this afternoon at the proposed Frank Russell relocation site on the Marcato property at South 15th Street and Fawcett.

End result. Dude walked away without his passengers and car.
