21st Century Challenge
The first major remodel, a renovation of the kitchen and bathroom, is nearly complete. The dedication celebration of the first major rehab in Westway took place on Wednesday October 24th. Investigation of the work scope for the second major remodel has begun.

Representatives from the City of Federal Way, King County and the Gates Foundation attended the dedication. We are requesting a meeting with the City of Federal Way to discuss serious drainage issues we are facing with the next major rehab we have lined up. In partnership with the Build the Bridge Coalition, we are researching options for the next 21st Century Challenge neighborhood following completion of Westway in 2009. The City of Federal Way police will be scheduling a tour for members of our 21st Century Challenge Committee and staff of the Camelot Square community in Federal Way before the end of the year as a possible next step.
