Parks meeting set in Carnation

Carnation is hosting a community meeting to discuss its new parks master plan and farmers market shelters and commercial kitchen project.

The Carnation City Council and the Parks Advisory Board meet 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 18, at the Carnation Library to talk about Carnation’s parks, trails and open space.

For the past year, the Parks Advisory Board has been working to create a master plan for the city’s parks. The community meeting allows residents to see the results of that effort and to provide ideas and feedback on the proposed plan. The plan includes improvements for Memorial, Loutsis and Riversedge parks as well as a trail system and ideas for future new parks.

The meeting will also be an opportunity to learn about and share input on the farmers market shelters and commercial kitchen project that is proposed for the city-owned lot across the street from Hockert Park. The project includes building two shelters that would serve the market and be available to the community for picnics, gatherings and special events. The proposed project also includes building a commercial kitchen that would be used by local farmers and others to make local food products.

County proposes

pet cemetery

A pet is a treasured member of families across King County, and its passing can be a traumatic and difficult time. King County Parks offers the perfect setting for celebrating your pet’s special place in your life — the Memorial Pet Garden in Marymoor Park.

Adjacent to the 40-acre Marymoor Park Offleash Dog Area, the Memorial Pet Garden offers a beautiful and peaceful place where you can memorialize your living, lost or deceased pet with a specially inscribed garden paving stone, bench or an inscription on the celebration wall, where a pet’s cremated remains can be interred.

“The Memorial Pet Garden has become an important part of the pet-owning community, and King County is proud to offer this beautiful and peaceful location,” said King County Parks Director Kevin Brown.

The 1.25 acre Marymoor Memorial Park Pet Garden is the first of its kind in the region, and is supported by donations made by pet garden patrons.
