There is a different alternative that the County and Cities should consider: using an extension to fund new public facilities. In particular, the expansion of the County trail network would be an excellent application of these funds. People come from all over the west to use our trail network. They stay in hotels, eat at restaurants, shop, and add to the diversity of users.
I always enjoy meeting visitors from other communities when I cycle on the Chehalis-Western Trail, the Woodland Trail, and the Yelm-Tenino trail. Yelm is trying to extent the trail into Pierce County, and Tenino is working to extent the trail down to Lewis County.
It's time for a community conversation about how this opportunity should be used.
