Environmental design benefits:
The project will help lessen the amount of untreated stormwater entering Puget Sound/Sinclair Inlet (4 blocks away) by removing unnecessary paving and filtering stormwater generated from the remaining paving by installing raingardens to capture runoff from the new sports court, restroom roof, and a portion of the existing Senior Center roof. Below are bullets summarizing the project's environmental improvements:
