South King County – Dick’sDrive-Ins is holding a press conference at their newest restaurant located at 24220 Pacific Hwy South, Kent Washington 98032 at 11:30AM on January 17th, 2019.
Jasmine Donovan, Executive Vice President and granddaughter of namesake and co-founder Dick Spady, will be answering questions regarding the fact that Sound Transit has identified the new Dick’sDrive-In Restaurant along with the rest of the Midway Shopping Center as one of few potential sites that may ultimately be acquired to build the south Operations and Maintenance Facility.
The Mayor of Kent along with other South Sound Mayors may be in attendance. Attached is a letter that was sent to the Sound Transit Board of Directors on January 11th, 2019 by Dick’sDrive-Ins.
The Kent City Council yesterday evening passed an ordinance prohibiting transit operations and maintenance facilities on these properties and specifically allow them on the Midway Landfill site to the south.
In accordance with Washington State law, a public hearing must take place within 60 days and is currently scheduled for the Kent city council meeting on February 5th, 2019. All friends of Dick’sDrive-Ins should put this meeting on their calendars and plan to give your input at the meeting.
