In the Woodinville Weekly
I think that Linda Gray and Carol Welch have it right (Letters to the
Editor 3/3/14) with their concerns regarding Snohomish County’s
proposed plan for Wellington Park.
Their factual letters describe issues that raise difficult questions
for Parks Director Teigen. For example, as he has variously described
it, the park is a “Regional Sports Complex” and “an amazing buffer that
insulates you from any development.”
Further, it will only “host lacrosse/soccer tournaments once a year,
if we`re lucky” and “draw regional and national tournaments on a regular
basis.”
Director Teigen might be math challenged as well. He claims only 25 acres will be developed but 47 acres will be cleared.
What? Finally, somehow we get “an economic driver of the region” from low usage and minimal traffic. How does this happen?
Friends and neighbors, haven`t we seen all of this before.
Another slick politician with an agenda tailoring his message to his
audience, back and forth, spinning and weaving the story as he goes
along.
What`s wrong with just telling the truth for a change? Personally, I
love the idea of a community park and so do most of my neighbors,
however a park that remains true to the nature of the local community
with the emphasis on nature, as in NATURAL.
