The full faith, credit, and resources of the County have been irrevocably pledged for the annual levy and collection of those taxes and for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due.

The comments submitted during early scoping are being considered by Sound Transit to identify and develop alternatives for the Tacoma Dome Link Extension and Operations and Maintenance Facility (OMF) South. Early Scoping Process The early scoping notice for the Tacoma Dome Link Extension and OMF South was published in the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) register on March 28, 2018, with the early scoping comment period beginning on April 2, 2018. Sound Transit also mailed postcards to properties along the corridor, placed print and online advertisements, and posted notices to social media sites. An agency meeting and three community open houses were held during the comment period. Sound Transit asked for comments on: • The route (alignment), stations, potential alternatives, benefits, and impacts for the Tacoma Dome Link Extension • The potential location, benefits, and impacts for an OMF in the south corridor (South King and Pierce counties) • The Purpose and Need statement The representative project from the Sound Transit 3 Plan was used as a starting point for comments on potential alternatives.

  • 12.4.19 Edge Sign on Letter
    December 4, 2019 Bob Pekenpaugh General Manager Edgewater Hotel 2411 Alaskan Way Seattle, WA 98121 Dear Mr. Peckenpaugh, Seattle, King County and the State of Washington have long been proud leaders of advancing the rights of workers in our communities. From raising the minimum wage, to passing a statewide paid family leave program, to protecting hotel workers from injury and harassment, we have shown a deep and ongoing commitment to ensuring that workers are treated with dignity and respect in this region. As a premier downtown hotel, and one located on publicly owned land, we expect the Edgewater to set a leading standard for employers in our city. This is especially important during a time when increasing housing costs are forcing more and more workers out of the city. We support your workers as they seek to settle a contract with wages that more closely meet the increased cost of living in Seattle, secure year-round health care and provide assurances that they will keep their jobs in the event of a sale or transfer of the hotel to a new owner or operator. We believe that the workers, who are the backbone of your hotel’s success, should share in your hotel’s success and prosperity, as evidenced by your 70% increase in revenues since 2010. We are dismayed that you have responded to your workers’ contract campaign by hiring Modern Staffing & Security, a self-proclaimed nationwide “leader in strike staffing and security.” We have received reports from workers at your hotel that guards have been stationed throughout the workplace and break areas in the hotel and that workers and union leaders have been followed and harassed by these guards.
