IN CASE YOU MISSED OUR APRIL NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
You can view the meeting HERE on our youtube channel. Highlights were info about the return of the Farmer’s Market, meeting reps from PCC which will open next Fall, discussions about our frequent beach closure from Seattle Public Utilities Nathan Hart, Emergency HUB workshop and much much more.
On the beach closures, SPU, Parks and Rec and King County Public Health are working with us to find solutions to control lake water bacteria at our swimming beach. Foremost, please do not feed the ducks and geese, dogs are welcome at the beach (in fact encouraged by SPU since geese do not like the dogs) but please pick up waste; Parks inspected the side sewer line for the Bathhouse (all fine). SPU will be inspecting the overwater structures for any leaks, same with businesses and the two drainage areas bordering the beach. Updates will be provided as we get them.
The schedule for One Seattle Plan meetings at City Council is posted on their website HERE and we encourage neighbors to submit emails and attend the meetings to voice your views of the plan.
