Thank you, Councilmember Nelson.
My office has been trying for months to get more results from the executive departments (SDOT, SPU, SPD, HSD, Parks) in this location and so I’m hoping that your added voice to our ongoing calls for action will help keep this troubled area top of mind in the mayor’s office, which has the power to coordinate the departments and allocate personnel and resources.
As we know, there was already a recent murder near this location: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/lack-of-answers-is-excruciating-for-family-of-man-found-shot-to-death-at-seattles-gas-works-park/
Thank you for joining forces with all the park visitors and the many struggling small businesses in this Wallingford neighborhood.
Regards,
Alex Pedersen
