It's NOT Too Late !

The Landmark Designation was stolen from us, but that is
not
the end of the effort.

We can still have a dramatic effect on the proposed development at historic Waldo Hospital, located in North Seattle's Maple Leaf neighborhood at 85th NE and NE 15th.

Determining next steps

The loss in front of the Seattle Hearing Examiner was a disheartening example of how biased the process is against people who want to turn bad development into development that respects our environment and character.

Keep your kids safe from demolition toxics

The city failed in its responsibility to protect the health and welfare of their citizens by not properly researching the threat of toxic dust in the neighborhood. Neither City nor State law allow a municipality to delegate this responsibility to a third party like a developer. But that's exactly what Mayor Nickels allowed his executive branch to do.

The result was expected -- a "demolition plan" that has no plan to actually protect the children living nearby, the reservoir, or the kids from around the city who play at the neighboring playfields. In fact, city employees testifying under oath admitted the city does not do a good job of regulating toxic lead dust fall and looked to this project to figure it out -- in other words, they are EXPERIMENTING on our children with no detailed studies to provide safety parameters.
