I am sure it must seem speedy to those who don't happen to live nearby and haven't been able to enjoy seven months of Monday through Saturday demo, excavation, framing, and construction traffic. Anyway, we'll see about that July date. From some of the December milestones the project manager gave us that they did quite appear to hit and how important Exxel Pacific felt it was to work on the Christmas holiday (which we reported to the DPD as a violation of SEPA noise control, and who confirmed directly to the builder that it was a violation) - it gives me the impression they need to move fast.

We have email listserves where we periodically email out information relating to specific topics. We haven't yet put together an email list for our Echo newsletter. That may happen down the road. We'll look into putting an email subscription tool on the website so you can see new posts in your inbox.

]]> Comment on Congratulations to Gerry Pollet, 46th District Newest House Representative by Gerry Pollet http://wedgwoodcc.org/congratulations-to-gerry-pollet-46th-district-newest-house-representative#comment-380 Gerry Pollet Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:20:37 +0000 http://wedgwoodcc.org/?p=2420#comment-380 Dear Neighbors, Thank you so much for the congratulations. I am already busy representing the District in Olympia, having gone down for the Special Session the very next morning after the King County Council vote. My commitment is to be easily accessible to you and all residents of the 46th. During the regular Session I will be holding weekly drop in office hours here in the District because I believe that you should be able to see your Rep without going to Olympia during the Session. I know what it is like to organize a carpool of parents or concerned neighbors to drive to Olympia for a 15 minute visit with a legislator. Please watch for notices of those times for in district drop in meetings. And, let me know if you'd like me to come to a neighborhood, PTSA or other meeting. As a schools and neighborhood activist, I believe it is very important to know what your concerns are, and how we can make a difference on those concerns from the Legislature.

It helps Wedgwoodians wherever they may be to keep track of what's happening back home. I'm disappointed about the lack of retail, having envisioned local businesses there adding to the street life. I'm also curious what kinds of work will occur in the live/work units... maybe someone can share some examples of live/work elsewhere in the city? Thanks very much for sharing the update and photos.

Going north from there you don't enter Wedgwood until NE 85th St (?) Strictly speaking, the Wedgwood boundaries do not enclose the several blocks near 77th & 18th Ave NE, correct?
