Investing in a facility when you don't own the land is not prudent, so Shoreline is looking elsewhere so they can build a new fancy rec center.<br />My question is why would the city want to build what is essentially another YMCA, just up the road less than a mile away from Dale Turner which is less than 10 years old? If they want to build it, it should be elsewhere in Shoreline. And perhaps in a location where they don't have to condemn a bunch of homes and a business. My guess is that the proximity to City Hall is a very big reason. I guess that falls under "Meets city development goals"?<br />Good luck getting voters to pass the humongous bond measure that will be needed to make this a reality!

Instead of spending it on buildings that are falling apart and not large enough for what the city needs they are going to build a new one. It sounds like they are being responsible with tax money and think to the future. Also the land the pool on 185th is on is a school. What do you think the odds are we may need to reopen it as the city grows? As far as cleaning up the garbage on the streets I am assuming you are talking about needles. Well we do have a larger police department now........Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301109546462455325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-41716343585159568072018-06-13T18:35:34.857-07:002018-06-13T18:35:34.857-07:00To Shoreline Council: What is the cost of this com...To Shoreline Council: What is the cost of this compared to remodeling the space at Shoreline Center and upgrading the existing pool? The facilities and parking are already in place. Thank you.
