On Dec. 5, Nancy Scurlock, a resident of Merrill Gardens Retirement Community, 805 Fourth Ave. N., presented Seattle City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen with a thank you letter for his role in getting a crosswalk at the site repaved.
An 89-year-old resident of the retirement community, Jim Thompson, contacted Rasmussen for help with the crosswalk used by nearly 200 seniors each day.
In response, Seattle Department of Transportation repaved the crosswalk and increased the safety factor for Merrill Gardens residents and others.[[In-content Ad]]
