Did you know our Sand Point Housing campus was once the site of major milestones in aviation history and innovation? It's a fascinating story, and one that was recently brought to colorful life by several Sand Point teens and the Friends of Magnuson Park: https://bit.ly/3hEFKT2

Private businesses and local governments can still enforce their own mask mandates, should they choose. https://twitter.com/GovInslee/status/1498373784381755394
In light of new [CDC] guidance and continued decreases in hospitalization rates, WA – along with OR and CA – will be adjusting the timing of our statewide mask requirement to end after March 11.

Fate of old Fire Station 38 to be decided by City Council; public comment period begins
Now that the new Fire Station 38 (4004 NE 55th St) fully operational, it’s time to determine the fate of the old one (5503 33rd Ave NE).
Your new house?
From today’s press release (from the City of Seattle’s Department of Finance and Administrative Services; emphasis mine):
If sold, the Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy Fund (which paid for the new fire station’s construction) could be refilled to the tune of a million dollars — the property was appraised at just over a million dollars in 2009, according to King County property records.
The building itself was granted landmark status in 2004; therefore, changes in the structure are limited and the city’s Historic Preservation Program must be contacted prior. (Read the full Seattle Fire Station No. 38 Landmark Nomination Report (pdf; 26 pages!) for more information on the history of the Fire Station 38 and the surrounding neighborhood.)
Comments about the sale of old Fire Station 38 are due by May 18, and will be incorporated into documentation presented to the City Council. Send your comments to Rich Gholaghong via phone (684â€0701), by eâ€mail (richard.gholaghong@seattle.gov) or by regular mail (Rich Gholaghong, FAS Real Estate Services, P.O. Box 94689, Seattle WA 98124â€4689).
