    How are the shoplifters going to get to the malls?

    I don't find it concerning, I think it's a bit strange that the rest of the city seems to be functioning. Sucks if you depend on the bus to get to work!

    does anyone find it concerning that UW has not closed their campus today even after the buses have canceled their services?
