Staff insists that advisory panel only say "SYNTHETIC".

We're being heard, and now is the time to contact Seattle City Council Budget Committee
Members (all council members are on the budget committee) and ask them to withhold funds
for the Loyal Heights Playfield "upgrade" pending a new (and
real) public input process. The
budget process is in full swing, so go to the
"EZ Activist" tab and get to work!
