I think the WSFs are far more iconic and attractive to tourists.  They offer many more perks such as fresh air, a more leisurely pace, snacks and wifi....and space to move around.  There are far more runs offered as well.   As attractive as the POF may be to a limited number of commuters, raising our sales tax to 9% makes us a full 1/2 % above  Gig Harbor's 8.5%, which is less than supportive of retail.  I would be far more supportive of efforts to encourage our city officials to put into effect guidelines to prevent dereliction in our downtown and to encourage storefronts that are occupied, such as the efforts Portland has made to fight vacancy.  As it is now, the hours of the POF are commuter oriented only...all to the tune of an average of $50 per every man, woman and child in the county every year....perhaps if they just spent those dollars here, it would be a win, win!
