Sorry to see him go. Met him a few times. Nice guy.
Besides, he has done a lot of good things in Seattle area, including a few museums, one of which I took my grandson to a few weeks ago.

Bad timing. More tax revenue to help Trump's Administration.

If I were a betting man, I’d bet Mr. Allen has paid significant professional fees to avoid sending Trump much in the way of estate taxes.


Edit: actually this is so much better than figuring out ways to leave more to your kids:

Great admiration for the man.
