The city of Kent has sold Pine Tree Park. This is a small property that has been a park for many decades.
Residents of Kent need to put a stop to this land grab by the city’s developer cronies. There is plenty of private land that can be bought for development. A park should be something that will be there for future generations.
Unlike other properties the city has, this one was given to them for free with annexation from the county. Upkeep costs were minimal; they mowed the grass a few times a year. As more properties in the city are subdivided and developed, this small park will be a very valuable asset. But once it is gone, it’s gone.
Please write the council, show up for meetings and make an official comment about this planned development.
