Wellington Hills Park, Woodinville Washington - What is it that everyone wants?

As I see it, there are three players in the Wellington Hills Sweepstakes.

1. Snohomish County Government & assorted special interests & lobbyists

2. Northshore School District

3. People
 

What is it they want?

Group No. 1 wants the money associated with development.

Group No. 2 wants more land for more schools.

Group No. 3 wants a park.


How does each group view the greater Wellington Hills area - including the park?

Group No. 1: Development

Here is what happens when there's fast-paced development and not much else.

 Group No. 2: Land

Northshore School District sees Wellington Hills Park as a site for two new schools.

The next photo is from the Everett Herald. Imagine the pickup truck is driving on 240th Street with the proposed high school located on the south side of street. (another school would be on the north side of 240th)

Group No. 3: Park

Everyone who's stopped at Wellington Hills Park understands its value as a natural green space - an open space.  There is no other natural park like it within the swirl of this region's expanding development.
