Although Slide the City was able to acquire the right permits to operate its massive urban waterslide in 30 states in seven countries, Washington state was another story.
KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson asked Slide the City organizer Amy Gessel why Seattle couldn’t make it work.

“That is a great question, one I would like to know the answer to myself,” she said.
Fortunately, Gessel isn’t harboring any ill-feelings toward the Pacific Northwest.
“They are just doing their job,” she said. “They want to make sure the slide is as safe as possible. We are excited to keep working with them and make sure this event happens … Hopefully next year all of our dreams will come true.”
