Last I saw it was still stuck.

There have been some settlement possibilities on the table.

The "donor wall" was reported to likely be moved to Tollefson Plaza which would mean the area could be opened up for direct pedestrian access to the bridge of glass.  Hopefully, that will occur.

The wall is now a Fence. It is being fenced in by another fence. :(

Thanks Julie Anderson, way to pull through on this one buddy!

Below an excerpt from Regena Kowitz's (WSHS) response to an e-mail from me. Personally, I think trying to force people to buy could back-blow.  Entice me in, don't push me!

"And, yes, we do have an obligation to look after our business interests.  The current path does not route pedestrians directly past our front door, but it does bring them in proximity where we can place signage to promote our offerings and those of the museum gift shop and café.  The success of those two businesses contributes directly to the financial support of the museum.  Our decision to replace the fence was not purely monetary, but it was a consideration.  We are a non-profit, state agency; it is not only in our best interest to manage our resources wisely, it is also our obligation.  Without financial resources, we would find it difficult to run this museum and offer high-quality exhibits and programs that tell stories about the wonderful and diverse people and places of the state of Washington."

They do this at Children's Fairyland in Oakland.  Mostly, the house makes irritated parents.

The current path does not route pedestrians directly past our front door, but it does bring them in proximity where we can place signage to promote our offerings and those of the museum gift shop and café.

I have to give them credit for their honesty.  Their motives are laid bare now.  At least we know that the "donor wall" was never really an issue.
