Once again the Port Commissioners for Olympia and Tacoma will hold a public meeting about the proposed South Sound Logistic Center the meeting will take place Wednesday February 20th at 6:00PM at Worthington Center at the Pavilion at St. Martin's. The proposed South Sound Logistic Center is:

The Port of Tacoma has bought a 745 acre parcel of Rocky Prairie land located right in the middle of a sensitive area with Millersylvania State Park less than half a mile to the north and a state fish and wildlife reserve bordering it on the south. For 15 years, the state park and the wildlife dept have had their eye on this property, which, in combination with the neighboring McIntosh forest reserve, would create an amazing wildlife corridor and preserve several threatened native species. But the Port of Tacoma outbid them and wants to build a huge truck and train freight transfer station and possibly a solid waste transfer site (hauling garbage from all over the region) right in the middle of this precious swatch of undeveloped land.
