In her reaction, City Council member Sally Bagshaw proves she isn&#8217;t living on earth with the rest of us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I took one look and said, &#8216;If that&#8217;s something you have to pay some money to go see, then that really isn&#8217;t right,&#8217; because I want Seattle Center to be Seattle Central Park, where you can go even if you don&#8217;t have money.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ever been to the fun forest, Sally? Many&#8217;s the time I&#8217;ve dropped $40 there while trying hard not to, as the children in my charge become more desperate to experience the fun they think they should be having. <\/p>\n<p>Chihuly will be able to fill fun forest shoes with his own kind of carnival barker.
