County offers Willows site for new hospital at Lake Sammamish
The Willows at Lake Sammamish 420 acres offer to donate to the government for one of five hospitals funded by a 15 million dollar appropriation. The county commission approves after a long hearing with business leaders and taxpayers groups. If accepted 700 nearby acres must be purchased and total cost estimated between 2 and 3.5 million dollars. A central administration building with many small structures is planned. Most attendees oppose tax increases. A 120 acre remainder would house a stockade for prisoners.
