The Metropolitan King County Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, June 24, 2013 to take testimony on a proposed ordinance that would authorize the execution of an agreement for the sale of surplus King County property to the city of Shoreline.

The public hearing on the proposed sale will be held before the full council at the King County Courthouse, Room 1001 on Monday, June 24, 2013, at 1:30pm.

The city of Shoreline is acquiring a 2.87 acre surplus parcel commonly referred to as the Brugger’s Bog facility from the King County Roads Services Division. The site was previously used as the North maintenance site for the Roads Services Division.

After the city of Kirkland annexed the Juanita/Kingsgate/Finn Hill areas, the Roads Services Division declared the property surplus to its needs and an agreement to sell the site to the city of Shoreline was developed.

This property is located in the city of Shoreline at 19547 25th Avenue Northeast in District 1. Shoreline plans to continue to use the property for maintenance purposes.

Copies of proposed ordinance 2013-0155 are available upon request from the Clerk of the King County Council, Room 1200, King County Courthouse, 516 Third Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104, telephone 206-296-1020. The ordinance is also available online.

The purchase was recently approved by the Shoreline City Council.
