The 2008 Parks and Green Spaces levy is expiring. In its place, a park district is being proposed for Seattle. If passed, Proposition 1 will authorize the formation of citywide Metropolitan Park District that would have taxing authority. This would provide a stable stream of funding for the Department of Parks and Recreation and would be governed by the Seattle City Council, which would serve as the district’s board.
Our walking tours are free and open to the public. There is no need to register, just meet us at the starting point at 10:00 a.m. This year we hope to continue on to nearby coffee shops to continue the conversation started on the tour while we rest our feet. Email FSOP at friends@seattleolmsted.org if you have any questions.
Hope to see you there!
