We’re one step closer to knowing what the new North Transfer Station on N. 34th Street will look like.  At their latest meeting, Seattle Public Utilities and a group of community stakeholders gave the green light to move forward with development of five hybrid concepts.  Those concepts include a facility that puts recycling into the same building as garbage and yard waste, a stand-alone recycling building, and a possible new neighborhood park.

The main goals of the latest meeting included minimizing noise and odor, maximizing public green space in the northeast corner of the site, and creating a better pedestrian experience for those walking in front of the facility.  In February, SPU will present flyover simulations for the five hybrid concepts and stakeholders will narrow the list to two.

We recently took a tour of the current transfer station which will be torn down to make way for the new facility.  You can read more about current operations and some of the features that could be included in the new operation.

  1. Why can't we just get rid of the stinking place altogether? After all, it is prime property! Is this really the best use of it? Shouldn't the city be looking to make money at a time like this? Value of the Wallingford neighborhood would only go up if this were transferred somewhere else!
