Fire Station 35 Ground-breaking, August 21st, 2009

Fire Station 35 at 8729 15th Ave NW will be demolished to make way for a brand new fire station. The building is currently home to an engine company and a “reserve engine”. It was originally built in 1920, and is in need of replacement. The citizens of Seattle passed the Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy in November 2003 to fund the upgrading, renovation, and replacement of 32 fire stations across the city, including Fire Station 35.  The new station will be two stories, have bays for 3 vehicles, and will be completely up to date with the latest seismic safety codes.

Crown Hill School Site Sale Complete!

This wonderful news just in from Catherine Weatbrook:

Congratulations!
Congratulations!

The former Crown Hill Elementary building officially became the property of Small Faces Child Development Center today, June 30th, 2009, just after 2pm. The Crown Hill Project team, made up of representatives of 10 different groups and non-profit organizations, worked through a three year process to secure the building, and surrounding 2+ acres for perpetual community and park use. Seattle Parks purchased the majority of the open space, influenced both by the Neighborhood Planning Process ten years ago, as well as by overwhelming community support. The building, built in 1919 and added on to in 1949, will remain home to current tenants, as well as become the new home of Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society. This dynamic community asset, set next to an up and coming park, will serve as a hub in the Crown Hill Community.

Thank you to everyone who helped during this process and we look forward to the future.

-Catherine Weatbrook
Crown Hill Project Manager

Congratulations to all who have worked so hard and long to see this through. Looking forward to a really big celebration later this summer!
