Letter to the Editor: Save Our Farms

Woodinville resident Robert Harriage writes that there is plenty of undeveloped land in the city for urban growth, so moving the Urban Growth Boundary is unnecessary.

 

Dear Editor:

The farms in the Sammamish Valley are special. Not only is the open space a big part of our city's beauty, the lands also provide opportunities for new farmers and help support our local wine-tourism industry.

Unfortunately, there's currently and allow sprawl into the valley -- losing our farmlands forever.  As there is plenty of land available within the city limits for urban growth, this is completely unnecessary.

Please support protecting our farmland and tell the King County Council to vote down the proposal. You can learn more at http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5127/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=11079
