Seattle Schools Signs MOU with City about Memorial Stadium
This event happened today at Memorial Stadium. (I would have been there but my invite got lost.)Representing SPS at the event was Vice-President Leslie Harris and Mayor Tim Burgess.
To understand, the MOU is not legally binding and, going forward, the public will be part of the process about deciding what happens to Memorial Stadium. This is a measure to get the discussion going.
To note, the district MUST keep this stadium because it serves as the home field for several high schools for football and soccer as well as hosting graduations. The district has no other place for these events. As to whether the stadium stays there, well, that's a good question to discuss.
I have not yet seen the MOU (I believe it will be released tomorrow). My understanding is that the district will keep 6 of the 9 acres it controls at Seattle Center AND the district will be part of the Fort Lawton EIS. I am so happy on the latter because it simply keeps the district in the mix for the use of that property.
Thank you to Lisa Reibin Evans and Valerie Cooper for their tireless efforts on that front.
The Memorial Wall will be protected and moved in its entirety.
The City had wanted some of the property to put the parking lot underground which would likely increase the number of spaces AND get rid of an ugly parking lot.
