Somethings building

Monday, January 12th, 2009

The grass field on the east side of the Federal Way Transit Center, which was once the candidate location to replace the 320th Library, is now dug up for construction. Unfortunately, neither the city nor Sound Transit websites had any information on what’s going there.

An email to Sound Transit’s Capital Projects department revealed that the construction is for Senior City, a low-income senior housing project undertaken by the Korean Women’s Association. According to the KWA’s fall newsletter (pdf), the project will house 122 low-income seniors, plus provide office space for senior services and meeting space.

There’s not a lot more information out there on the project, such as what it will look like, but I did manage to dig up this landscaping chart:

Elsewhere… The Fred Meyer in Twin Lakes is building a gas station, and construction is well underway. (Maybe one of the Safeways in town will get the hint and follow suit. The 320th store has plenty of room.)
