City Parks and Rec Names Capitol Hill Park

Posted by on Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 3:03 PM

Posted by News Intern Sarah Lloyd

The .22-acre park to be located at the northeast corner of E John Street and Summit Avenue E will be named Perugia Park, after Seattle's Italian sister city, Capitol Hill Seattle reports. The city will break ground on the park, which will include a P-Patch, in March.

A full list of Seattle's sister cities can be viewed here. I want a Reykjavik park!

@1: Seconded. I had to go look up where that murder occurred to double-check that was the case. That's kinda fucked up. Also, why was this not a post made by Charles?

"It's not uncommon for us to name parks after sister cities."

@2 - Because Charles is still trying to come up with a "philosophical connection" between the park and a satanic sex orgy ending in murder.

Charles doesn't have something obtuse and "poetic" to say about this?

You'd think the community group, Unpaving Paradise, that raised half the money for the park could have gotten some consideration in the naming.

Perugia is an odd name, I'd of called it Chazzwozzer Park.

even if only 49% of the people in seattle think amanda's innocent, that's a kick in the nuts delivered by the 206 to itself. utter fail, parks dept.

Face it, the Parks Dept is still pissed we kicked their person to the curb so it's more of a "fuck you" to City Council and all us voters.
