"Richmond also advocated for preserving an existing open space in Port Peninsula. She suggested the city collaborate with the Port of Olympia to safeguard the remaining undeveloped stretches along the Port Peninsula waterfront from future development."
Excellent! Many of us have been advocating this for years, but the Port always seems addicted to development, as if that improves the quality of life for Olympia residents and businesses. The marine terminal loses money every year, pumps untold amounts of pollution into the air, and creates flooding from its impervious surfaces. It's time to terminate the marine terminal and turn the entire peninsula into a park. What a boon to downtown businesses and quality of life that would be!
Thank you Commissioner Richmond!
