Love this, Adam! I was in grad school here during that time but left just before the stack came down. When I moved back I was amazed to see the development and thought it was silly but then moved there for a year and changed my tune. I came to LOVE the new park and its homage to native son, Frank Herbert, and that Point Defiance is now connected for peds/cyclists. We are so fortunate to have the open spaces on that end of town. Now that I am renting a house up the hill, though, all veg and herbs will be grown above ground…the arsenic plume was no joke!

Thanks for sharing this, Pamela. You are probably wise with your gardening adaptation!
