The Land Use Committee will review a draft design proposal prepared by SRG Partnership in anticipation of this fall's public vote on a levy providing $80 million for infrastructure and other upgrades at Seattle's century-old Pike Place Market. If passed, approximately 85% of these levy monies would go to upgrade infrastructure that has not received any major work in over thirty years; additionally, the number of public restrooms and elevators would be increased to better serve the nearly 10 million visitors the Market welcomes each year.
The League of Women Voters has been studying immigration at the local and federal level.
