A final decision approaches for the Ward building
At 6 p.m. this Monday in Room 1-E of City Hall, the Lakewood Parks and Recreation Advisory Board may decide what to recommend for the fate of the Ward Building in Fort Steilacoom Park. The decision could have huge implications for how history is commemorated within the park; I'd certainly recommend people stop by if you are at all interested.
The gathering of public feedback on the park followed a very familiar trajectory. A ton of people showed up for the first meeting.; not as many showed up for the second. If you want to know what was discussed during the second meeting, check out these helpful and very detailed minutes from the city.
There is a very nice write-up in The Suburban Times about the various options. (I'm indebted to their earlier article and Ed Kane for the photo with this posting)
