Dec 16 2008, 3:11 PM The city of Buckley hosted a public hearing Dec. 9 to unveil its proposed plan to eventually enter into a half-century land lease agreement with the state’s Department of Social and Health Services, involving a 138-acre agricultural parcel on the grounds of Rainier School.
The hearing was slated so the city could take input from citizens regarding the potential for such a move by Buckley, which is scheduled to pay a total of $20,274 per year for the main, northeast and northwest areas of the property.
Buckley residents Calvin Bush and Marvin Sundstrom voiced their concerns with the lease agreement. While Sundstrom wondered aloud where the money was going to come from annually and who would be funding the maintenance of the property, Bush appeared more concerned with the possibility of the city committing to a long-term lease and making improvements to the land, only to have the state back out after the upgrades had been bankrolled by Buckley or organizations subleasing from the city. Bush also questioned if leasing the property was economically viable.

Well, here we are again, forsaking the routine, workaday world to slip joyfully into romance. Bring on the hectic shopping sprees, gaudy tinsel and the multi-colored, twinkling flash of Southcenter, downtown Seattle, and living-room Christmas trees. We’ll stroll once more down Santa Claus Lane and through the dainty lights along Fifth Avenue.
However, since this year’s economy is so screwed up, the hedonistic desires promoted by suburban shopping centers are a bit beyond the budget of many families. During past holiday seasons, local residents have always been a pretty charitable bunch and such generosity will surely be appreciated this time around. Indeed, while your home may be awash with the light-headed aroma of freshly baked banana bread, walnut toffee, fudge, and cutout cookies the kids have frosted – the fragrance alone is enough to raise your LDL 50 points – some families are having a difficult time scrapping together a meal of red beans and rice. So check out the charitable Christmas trees in various Plateau schools and churches. In particular, don’t forget to drop off a few staples at the Enumclaw Food Bank on Cole Street. (As Bruce Springsteen has pointed out, that’s one bank we can’t let fail.)
