Even Audubon Members Want To Save The Disc Golf Course
If you’ve been keeping up with Tim’s exhaustive battle to save the Mountlake Terrace Disc Golf Course from being either drastically reduced or totally eliminated, there seems to be a bit of good news. A former Audubon member and Mountlake Terrace resident has responded to the Mountlake Terrace Enterprise Newspaper article which detailed the banning of disc golf at the park. See the article here
If this former Audubon member can be reached, Tim may have a very valuable partner in saving this course. Since the Audubon is one of the most well known and respected environmental organizations in the country, having his testimonial about having lived in the area and frequented the park for 5 years (and not seeing any noticeable impact on the environment) may prove very powerful.
If you are in Seattle or nearby, get connected to help save this course. Tim is working hard but there are definitely strength in numbers. Get up with Tim or leave a comment on the blog if you want to help get involved. Thanks!

Thanks for posting that, Brian. While that’s definitely good news to hear somebody supporting us, there are still those that are against us. Accompanying the editorial that Brian posted, was another one from the other side of the issue. http://www.enterprisenewspapers.com/article/20080613/ETP21/267100589&template=ETPZoneLTart
Obviously, our work is cut out for us.
For those in the area, especially anybody that lives in Mountlake Terrace (or has friends/family there that support the course), there is a “disc golf only” meeting happening with the Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee where the final approval/denial of future holes SHOULD be happening.
The meeting will take place Tuesday, 6/24/08 at 7:00 PM at City Hall in Mountlake Terrace. For any more info, feel free to contact me.
