There are things you can do right now that will make a big difference in protecting the park.

Comment on the Environmental Review before November 30

The Master Use Permit signs have appeared with a deadline of November 30 for public comment. (The deadline was extended by written request.) Send your comment letter to PRC@seattle.gov and be sure to reference Master Use Project # 3024753. You can also enter this number at this City web site to see project documents.

In commenting on an environmental review, it is helpful to reference questions from the SEPA Environmental Checklist such as:

  • What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed?
  • Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses?
  • What measures do you propose to avoid, minimize or mitigate for deliberate impacts to historic structures or cultural resources?
