 Lake City Floodplain Park Update – this is the property north of 125th that had the red house down below:
Demolition
Demolition of the site’s existing structures is expected to be complete by early November 2022. Seattle Parks and Recreation’s metal shop fabricated a temporary bridge crossing for access to dismantle the back structure and the demolition team is currently onsite completing the work. The smaller structure, closest to NE 125th Street, was demolished in June 2022. Sewer odors
There were community observations that the site had a sewer odor smell. King County Wastewater sealed their maintenance hole lid and investigated upstream and downstream to confirm that there are no leaks into Thornton Creek from the King County sewer line. Seattle Public Utilities has also performed dye tests and confirmed that there are no leaks into Thornton Creek from the shared side sewer. Participation
Seattle Parks and Recreation, Seattle Public Utilities, and Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group are working toward their third community online workshop scheduled for this winter. We will be asked to help further refine park design options to a preferred design. Community participation is critical in designing the proposed Lake City Floodplain Park. Updates

Kids-at-Heart Art in Pinehurst Pocket Park – It’s leaf raking time, so November’s art in the pocket park is this autumn-ish linoleum block print. Actually, to be transparent, it’s an enlarged photo of the print. And made by an adult (me) – because we’ve run out of kids’ art, help! It’s in the kiosk at the pocket park – NE 117th St & 19th Ave NE.
If you would like to submit your child’s artwork (or yours!) for the Pocket Park, please email nancy@pinehurstseattle.org.
  This November, Seattle Public Utilities is again providing FREE extra yard waste collection for household customers, up to 10 extra bags for every collection throughout the month. Simply set out your extra yard waste next to your food and yard waste cart on your collection day.
Extra yard waste must be contained either in kraft paper bags or placed in an extra container that is clearly marked to indicate it contains extra yard waste. Please make sure your extra yard waste collection bags or container only contain yard waste, not food waste. Fallen branches and twigs can be set out for extra collection as well. These can be tied into bundles up to 4 feet long by 2 feet in diameter and tied with fiber twine. Do not use wire, nylon cording, or plastic banding. Learn more about setting out extra yard waste.
Here’s the scoop on home sales in Pinehurst in the last 30 days. Red dots are sold and black dots are for sale. In our area (98125, I think) August to September, median prices for sold homes were down 13% at $700K, and active days to sell were up 13% at 52 days. Data from our neighbor John Lombard, Windermere RE.

 Beginning September 1, riders 18 and younger can ride for free on many transit systems across Washington, thanks to millions in funding included in the Move Ahead Washington transportation package approved by lawmakers earlier this year.
