Selling the par 3 golf course a big mistake

The reasons for selling are the same reasons for keeping the par 3. The money from the par 3 will soon be gone, then what valuable asset will Kent then sell?

The par 3 sits on the Green River with stunning views of Mount Rainier. Do we need a better reason for keeping it? The City Council should be working for the community, not developers. Let’s make the Riverbend Golf Complex part of the park system and protect a beautiful area for the citizens and future residents.

Kent does not need an (18-hole) golf course. We have more than enough of them without it, even if it is such a (financial) loser. That is something Kent could sell rather than a slogan.
