Draft Environmental Impact Statement: Kudos to the Hospital team in working quickly to include Alternative 7 in the Draft EIS, which is now available on the Hospital's web site.
Comments: Please submit your comments on the Draft EIS to Scott Ringgold at the Seattle DPD and the members of the Citizen's Advisory Committee. The comment period last 45 days, so please comment before July 28, 2008.
Mark your calendar: The DPD will hold a public hearing to gather comments on the Draft EIS on Thursday, July 10, 6 – 8 p.m. at the Center for Urban Horticulture, Northwest Horticultural Society Hall, 3501 NE 41st Street, Seattle, WA 98105.
Update on Bald Eagles at Talaris:
- Looks like they won't be featured in the EIS because Talaris is considered a sufficient buffer.
- Great news on the chicks -- rumor has it that a neighbor up the hill has spotted two chicks in the nest using a spotting scope. If you want to go see the family, the best spot to stand is next to the first light post east of the intersection of Surber and 41st Street (on the south side of the street). Stand just to the east of the light post, look north and you'll see the nest in the tall trees at Talaris.
