OMSI could play a role in creating a similar synergy.
One thing that really helps the OMSI area is the fact that it is pretty easy to get to with having a streetcar, light rail, bus, and having an easy pedestrian bridge located nearby. Plus combine that with if they are able to add residential to this area, along with all the residential going on along the SoWa area, it could really work out.
