Greg at Smarter Neighbors has a summary of a presentation that David Neiman of CORA Northwest made to Wedgwood Community Council last week. David Neiman will also be presenting on the same topic at our Monday, January 26th Pinehurst Community Meeting. Michael R Nelson/Nelson Development LLC recently purchased the Kohary property at the NE corner of NE 125th and Roosevelt Way NE for $1,165,675.

They have heard feedback from about every neighborhood in Seattle and from developers. It is likely that a lot will change as the result of a dialogue that is starting at the City Council level. This is your chance to be involved if you […] Sharon Chan gives some more perspective and updates regaring the townhouse and micropermitting issue. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004382129_townhomes30m.html Kohary has started to apply to subdivide the property at 125th and Roosevelt into 24 townhouse lots.
