We've lived in Pt. Woodworth, across the Hylebos up the hill toward Federal Way, since Pt. Woodworth was developed 25 years ago. So, it's rather astounding that it appears toxic waste has been seeping into the waterway for all this time and is only ...↓now starting to be addressed.
Some thoughts: Can we PLEASE keep in mind Climate Change (yes, it's real, science proves it's real, and we have to do everything we can to protect ourselves from FURTHER deterioration). So can we PLEASE include some trees or other appropriate groundcover in the eventual plan (for instance cover the North Boundary Area with trees as well as the Existing Habitat Area next to it).
Secondly, the housing development in which I live is right above the land being cleaned up....and prepared, I suspect, for some eventual industrial use ("future land use goals"). PLEASE keep in mind that there are NO sound barriers between the cleanup project and our Pt. Woodworth housing development (184 homes, I believe). So, no loud night or early morning work on the project. AND, once complete, please don't add a commercial project on the space that will send noise straight up the hill all day and night.
And while I'm at it, how about planting trees wherever possible and feasible down on the tide flats, which at one point was ALL trees. It will add a little to the climate control fight and likely help a little in noise reduction. Seems a reasonable thing to do at not a tremendous cost.↓
