Tale of two Paddens

Posted

Is it just me or has anyone else ever noticed that the east end of the Padden Expressway, east of 503, doesn’t look anything like the west side?  I have observed for several years now that the east end has litter strewn from one end to the expressway to 503 and weeds along with 5-foot-high or taller blackberry bushes growing out of the vegetation. It is disgusting. But as soon as you pass 503, the litter is nonexistent or very little. Why is there a difference between the east end and the west end of the Padden Expressway? Can someone tell me why? I would like to know and maybe it could be addressed.

I’m sure I’m not the only taxpayer that has noticed this discrepancy.
