I don't know if this was an active station or a mothballed one. It seems absurd to replace an active fire station with a "community center" that will just be a rallying point for radical troublemakers.

If they now have delayed responses to fires in the area, it will be blamed on "institutional racism."

It seems absurd...

The whole thing is absurd, the spineless elected politicians allow this to happen. Let's hope there aren't many more absurd events like this in our country.

Good point.

“Fire Station 6, built in 1932 at the intersection of East Yesler Way and 23rd Avenue South, and has been decommissioned and unused for years. Now, it will be repurposed into the William Grose Center for Cultural Innovation.”

I just looked. The station has been out-of-service for years. Still, it is a bad look IMHO to give in to these demands. Take over a neighborhood and you get a “community center” on property worth a lot of money.

I hope they just give it them “as is”. Then charge them to clean up the spilled diesel, oil and fire retardant chemicals in the soil.
