August 2008
Seattle Parks has reached preliminary agreement with Cornish College of the Arts to purchase an 8,722 square foot property at 2100 Westlake Avenue (currently leased to Enterprise Rent-A-Car) for a new neighborhood park. Legislation is pending City Council approval to purchase the site. Acquisition, subject to the existing Enterprise lease, is expected to be completed no later than December 2008.
In November 2003, King County approved $900,000 to $1 million in matching funds through the Conservation Futures Tax towards this acquisition.
In 2001-2002, the Pro Parks Levy Oversight Committee conducted a public process for the first funding cycle of the Levy's $10 million Opportunity Fund. The Committee recommended designating $3 million for acquisition of land in three urban center villages: University District, Denny Triangle, and Pioneer Square/International District. In August 2002, the Mayor and City Council approved the Committee's recommendation.
The Denny Triangle Urban Center Village is roughly bordered by Denny Way on the north, I-5 on the east, and 6th Avenue on the southwest.
