To the editor:
Thank you for the front page story you ran on Waldo Hospital in Maple Leaf. I'm one of the volunteers who have worked so diligently over the past year to save this property, and really appreciate the article. It helps to keep this in the public eye. Please convey my thanks to Alisa Furoyama. Overall, I find the article to be objective and well written; however, there are a few minor corrections I would like to mention in passing.
First, we have to date some 2,000 signatures. We had approximately 1,400 by the time of the landmark hearing in June.
Which brings me to the next point. That 'infamous' hearing was June 20, not July 20. And it is worth pointing out that the first the Maple Leaf Community Council knew that the property was up for sale was in July 2006 when it was announced in the Puget Sound Business Journal.
I, in turn, learned from a member of the council. Campfire never contacted the community to ask if we knew of a buyer who would save Waldo. Ever since, we have been trying to save this historic property.
Respectfully;
Marjorie Rhodes, Seattle
