Land transfer will expand Kenmore park
Seattle's Daniels Real Estate, LLC, recently transferred almost ten acres of land to the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. The acreage will expand Kenmore's Saint Edward State Park.
The property, which comprises 9.77 acres, lies partly on Lake Washington, where it offers a stretch of 600 feet of shoreline that is undisturbed, giving it significant value both in terms of recreation and ecology. The acquisition will increase forest habitat and contribute to the park's trail continuity. When agencies undertake projects like this, they can use banner printing to create decorations to celebrate the opening.
Daniel's presently holds a 62-year least of the Saint Edward Seminary, which is a historic structure. Daniels plans to preserve the historic nature of the building, and at the same time, adapt it as a lodge. It will have 82 rooms and a number of amenities open to the public. In addition, Daniels will develop a research center and environmental education facility at the location. Woodinville residents who would like to visit the renovated park only need to drive a few miles to reach it.
The director of the commission, Don Hoch, said the agency was very excited by the idea that the renovation of the Seminary is going ahead, particularly as the redevelopment is taking place with the building in the setting of Saint Edward Park. Work has already begun on the lodge, which should open in 2020.
