New law would require 'all-gender' bathroom facilities at Seattle businesses - Puget Sound Business Journal

It applies only to single-occupancy restrooms, so there is not much reason to object to this. But is this why Seattleites pay Mayor Murray $180,000/yr?

Seattle has a history of failed restroom initiatives. We had high-tech self-cleaning French restrooms that we bought for $5 million and auctioned of on ebay for $12,000 when they did not work out.

City hopes eBay auction will shut the lid on toilet debacle - seattlepi.com

There was also a $4.2 million public restroom project at Mt. Rainier, just a few mile south of Seattle.

"It applies only to single-occupancy restrooms"
Makes sense, the women's restroom often has a line-up while the guy's restroom is empty.
I can see women however not reacting well to the pee on the floor left by men in public restrooms.

Just go to the bathroom before you leave the house and hold it until you get back home.

Of course not! Don't forget he also had the crosswalks painted rainbows, because Seattle doesn't have any other problems to deal with. Mayor Murray unveils rainbow crosswalks on Capitol Hill | www.kirotv.com

It's so much easier to just deal with social issues. The Progressives are all about quality of life.

In my experience there is often 1 for men and 1 for women.

so the mental illness of libberals

so more cost of ADDING a both gender SINGLE bath when most businesses already have separated baths that ''usually'' have more than one stall

more costs because of SH/SA(sexual harassment/sexual attack) lawsuits

There is no requirement to ADD a single occupancy restroom. The only expense is changing the sign on the door of single occupancy restrooms from Male or Female to both.
