The controversy over development on the isthmus is heating up, with battle lines being drawn and opponents facing off at public forums, in the Letters to the Editor section of the Olympian, on the internet, and with signs, stickers and pamphlets distributed around town. In one corner is the developer, Triway Enterprises, along with his allies the current City Council, the Olympian, and the “grass roots citizens group,” Oly2012. In the other corner is Friends of the Waterfront, led by former Olympia Mayor Bob Jacobs, the Washington State Capitol Campus Design Advisory . . .
