Mother's Day and the four year anniversary of "It's A Done Deal"

Today is of course Mother's Day - but it is also a very significant Anniversary date for those living in Woodinville and surrounding communities.

It was May 8, 2012 when those "lucky" enough to receive the following mailed card from Snohomish County, sat in the Brightwater conference room - not certain about what we would be hearing - then with various degrees of being stunned - we heard the now infamous words:

"We (Snohomish County, Dept. of Parks) are building a sports complex on the Wellington Hills Golf Course ... "It's a 'done deal' and you're 'going to love it."'

And so began a citizen's effort to save a local park in order to keep a community rural and consistent with all the Quality of Life reasons that make this a wonderful place to live.

Lots of heavy reading ... here's 4 years worth of the accumulated documents relating to the Wellington Hills Park fiasco ... from various gov bureaucracies, attorney documents, petitions and, piles of CDs acquired via the Freedom of Information Act. (And this represents just one person's "collection"... other concerned citizens have their own document piles.

Happy Mother's Day and if you want to save our community from urbanization, sprawl, unwanted development and traffic snarl (among other things) while also saving the very unique Wellington Hills Park...
