The $5K goal was achieved, thanks to everyone involved! Please see Bricklin & Newman LLP to City of Kenmore for that work product. Legal’s next recommended steps to appeal the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) range from $3k to $10k depending on their involvement and both sides’ tenacity; leading up to JAN 5, 2016, signing of 62-year lease agreement between Daniels developer and WA State Parks.
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process has started. We need legal advocacy to help save St. Edward State Park from developers. Our goal is to raise $5K by OCT 1, 2016. Thanks for all your contributions! We want to keep Saint Edward WA State Park PUBLIC, as a 316-acre park in Kenmore and Kirkland, Washington.

The washington parks commission votes 9/22 on whether to extend the Deadline for developer Daniels to submit his plan to turn the seminary into his private hotel, Tell the commission keep the building for public parks use, not a hotel!! Please email NOW Commission@parks.wa.gov. Save St Eds!!
Future of St. Ed Park-Ing?
What happened to your alternative plan of turning the Seminary building into a Ruin? I can’t find any reference to it anywhere on this website. Do you have a new plan or will you simply keep obstructing any proposal for park improvements (yes…saving the building as a hotel is an improvement) that conflicts with your misperception of the park as a “sanctuary” rather than a recreational park?
