OLYMPIA – Aug. 11, 2021 – The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission will hold a virtual public meeting at 6 p.m. on Aug. 18 to share information about the proposed sale of a State Park property in Auburn via public auction. Participants may access the virtual meeting through this link.
Participants need internet access to join the meeting. Members of the public can share written comments, questions and suggestions through the chat feature during the meeting.
The property is located at 810 30th Street NE, within the Auburn city limits. The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission acquired the property through a land exchange with the City of Auburn in 2013. In the exchange, the City acquired Parks’ former Puget Sound Region Office site and incorporated it into the city-operated Auburn Game Farm Park.
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission will consider whether to authorize the sale of the commission-owned property at its September commission meeting on Sept. 15 and 16 at Richland City Hall.
For additional information or to request a special accommodation for the meeting, contact Tanya Moore, Property & Acquisition Specialist.
