Three Opportunities Left to Learn about the Seattle Center Master Plan
The Century 21 Committee is planning to develop the Master Plan for the Seattle Center over the next 20 years in order to make the center more walkable and to conserve more energy. Meeting dates are listed below, but they’re locations are certainly not convenient for those of us who live near the center. Our guess is that they’re trying to get all the communities involved since they’ll be proposing another increase in taxes. Although nobody likes more taxes, this could be a positive plan to support considering the future expenses of maintaining current energy and transportation methods.
