It's true, out of the 82 entries the City of Seattle's Design Commission received, there were only 13 finalists, and WE'RE ONE OF THEM! Check out the PI's article below - inside there's also a link to the Design Commission's website, where you'll find SSH's narrative describing our idea of the Community Rink.


WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? MORE HELP IS NEEDED! Find the attached questionnaire:


This is due by Friday 6/25. Anything you can offer here in the comments will be helpful. I'll be submitting the completed questionnaire on Friday, will be working on most of it Thursday night, and I have fencing costs covered. You have info? Submit it here by leaving a comment!

One thing I'm really interested in: LOCATIONS! I know a few ideas have been tossed around already. I want that info again including: a pic or two, neighborhood, address, nearby landmarks, and property's owner/agent with contact info. That last bit is very important.

MORE TO COME
There's also a workshop coming up in the latter half of July where one of us will be making a short presentation about our idea. I will provide that info soon. Start thinking about who will represent our group then, as I and a few others have already done our share.

Can the dream be realized? Only you can help determine that.

Adam,

Due to the mention of Dodgeball and the increasing popularity of field lacrosse, it might be worth a pow wow with underdog sports, and the local lacrosse league to get them behind us.

Also, possibly the support of one of the local hockey associations. Payette and Peto know enough guys.

Showing up with a petition of support from these groups might be worth our while.

We can be up front that we want our regular time/day, but the more support the better, and if we represent more people it would be a coup IMO.

awesome job Adam!!! how exciting-- i'll try and check out questionnaire tomorrow...


again, great job and thanks for all the hard work! it's hard to imagine someone else representing our group considering what a superficial society we live in and your being selected as SSH's sexiest man alive ;-)

where's slumlord Koh with some valuable input?

Adam,

Stellar.

I'm with Kevin. Fund raising or coughing up are likely, but we would come through either way.

Maintenance each year might be painting fresh lines.

It could be argued that it is a mixed use facility for box lacrosse btw.

Drainage system might be night, but not a deal breaker.

Kevin and Vinnie - Double trouble presenting.

Wow. Nice Job Adam and team. My best guesses below:

#1. ~$6K Total. $4K for asphalt, $2K for plywood boards

#2. I suppose we could cough it up, or fundraise.

#3. I think we could staff this amongst ourselves, with Peto as foreman.

#4. I'm not sure we need any at all.

#5. None. Although a fridge would be nice.

#6. Any site that is flat and smooth, that we can build boards around.

#7. No security needed, although should we put the shed nearby to store equipment? Maybe every 10 years it would need to be repaved too.

#8. One month max.

#9. Why would we remove it?
