Public comments and questions?????? How about simply doing what your supposed to be doing with tax dollars and there would never be chatter in your direction.
DESC is nightmare organization – its board of Seattle/King County elites that seem to really care about money. Washington state has far too many questionable leftist rings controlling entitys that are have been failing for years… and the residents are paying for it.
Am I reading this correctly, it is going to be open to business owners and neighbors at this meeting? Does anyone know if there is a way to get a “log” of how many times the BFD/Medics have had to go there since opening the doors and will this give them plenty of time to clean-up the inside and outside of the building??? Oh wait silly me they had this planned long ago in which gave them plenty of “secret” time to get cleaned up and get their answers all on the same page.
