Another chance to opine about neighborhood plan Wednesday

(Our unscientific, quick impression from looking at the posted comments at the open house on Sunday: North Rainier residents seem to strongly favor redevelopment and density around the pedestrian wasteland that is Mount Baker Station. Othello residents are unhappy about planned new density in their neighborhood. Beacon Hill residents seemed to be somewhere in the middle — wanting improvements but skittish about some of the possible changes, particularly the “tower” zoning option.)
The Asian Counseling and Referral Service is located at 3639 Martin Luther King Jr Way South.

You mention North Rainier supporting increased density and development around the Mount Baker station. If that happens, it would benefit BH residents via upgrades to shops, services, jobs, etc. If you attend the Wednesday session, add your voice to those supporting more density around the Mount Baker station.
Thanks for including these pictures, it really helps get a sense of what people want when you can read the comments first hand (and compare to the plans themselves)
As always keep up the great reporting work!
