They stand immovable, tall and silent sentinels; reminiscent of the
fictional Martian invaders in the movie, War Of The Worlds.
The lights in the photos are located at the downtown Woodinville fields … a good location for such bright lights.
On the other hand, the Snohomish County Invaders have proposed similar field-stadium lights for Wellington Hills Park.
Can it be said enough …the area surrounding Wellington Hills Park is residential and the tall, light pole sentinels will have a terrible and adverse effect on the local community.
It takes a certain kind of mindset to say with a straight face: "Live with the lights for a few years, you'll come to like them."
Sorry, not on this planet. Martians go home.
