Letter: High Speed Fail Won’t
By David Anderson Of course we out here in Tillicum wish the City of Lakewood well – in the just announced lawsuit – in derailing High Speed Fail given it’s our community that is “isolated,” and it is our neighborhood that “has the most to lose from the project.” However, given the track record of our community […]
