PROGRESS MADE ON PROCURING SITE FOR NORTH PRECINCT POLICE STATION

SEATTLE - The city of Seattle is making progress on securing a property at the SE corner of Aurora Avenue North and North 130th Street for the new SPD North Precinct site. In December 2013 City Council authorized acquisition of 3 parcels of land for the new Station. Negotiations with the property owners and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments of two of the sites are under way. A surveyor has been hired to confirm the property boundaries prior to the City assuming ownership and a hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on March 28, 2014, in the King County Superior Court on the designation of Public Use and Necessity to allow purchase by negotiated settlement or, if necessary, using its power of eminent domain (condemnation). The project team will discuss the project and building concepts with the Seattle Design Commission on May 15, 2014. You can also visit the New North Precinct Station project website for more information and to sign up for the project's listserv.
