Two years ago, the Wallingford Community Council and Seattle Public Utilities conducted months of negotiations regarding the rebuild of the North Transfer Station in our neighborhood. As a result, SPU and WCC entered into a detailed contract governing a wide range of issues concerning the construction and operation of the new facility. In an unprecedented process, the contract was not only signed by SPU, but was specifically approved by the City Council.
The contract requires that SPU investigate and analyze a wide range of topics, and then report to and consult with the WCC. SPU has some of its analyses ready to share with WCC and the community on subjects relating to the control of particulate matter, odors and noise. SPU has requested a meeting with WCC this Wednesday.
WCC will hold its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, December 4, at 7:00 PM at the Good Shepherd Center. Everyone is welcome.
In addition to the Transfer Station update, WCC will consider ongoing land use issues in our community.
