The vew from 240th Street SE - Wellington Hills Park to Route 9

This past Thursday I walked westward from the blocked Wellington Hills Park entrance to Route 9, it's less than 1/2 mile.  I did this around 2 PM.

The first photos are what you see as you drive through the park

Once you leave the Park boundary, 240th Street steepens and then goes through several businesses until the street ends at Route 9. On the opposite side of 240th St. is Costco.

Quite a difference - Wellington Hills Park and the commerce and traffic of Route 9.

Why the difference? The Urban Growth Boundary is a big, big reason.

Just as oil spreads on water, there are special interests wanting to spread eastward up 240th St.

Guess what they see as the prize?
