Rep. Gerry Pollet, Wedgwood’s 46th District representative in the state legislature, has continued to monitor the radioactive contamination cleanup at Magnuson Park and has published this update. As previously reported here, the radioactive contamination at Magnuson was the result of activities at the site when it was the Sand Point Naval Air Station. The cleanup issues at Magnuson are a complicated interaction between the Navy, which is responsible for cleanup, and the standards of the State Department of Ecology.
The City of Seattle has approved a lease for two organizations to use Building 11 at Magnuson, a building which is undergoing renovation and for which there are unanswered questions as to safety due to soil contamination. Rep. Pollet and representatives of Heart of America Northwest have met with Seattle Waldorf School and Cascade Bicycle Club about these issues and their use of Building 11.

The holidays in Wedgwood is a giving season with opportunities to support local outreach. In businesses on 35th Ave NE clustered around the intersection of NE 85th Street you will find Giving Trees with tags for items sought by local charities. Take a tag, purchase a gift for a needy family and bring the tagged gift back to the tree. The outreach is through Meadowbrook Community Care (MC2) and includes help for children at Ryther. Giving Trees can be found at Homestreet Bank, Cafe Van Gogh, Wedgwood Hair Studio, Rite-Aid, Wedgwood Ale House, and Cafe Javasti.
