Legislation sponsored by Sen. Joe Fain, and approved by the Senate, would protect animals like “Poppy” who was recently rescued from a severe animal cruelty situation in Thurston County.
“Breaking ground on this park is the result of a great deal of work by community members who had a vision to improve our region and are making it happen,” said Sen. Fain (R-Auburn), who secured a $650,000 grant for the park in the state’s 2013 capital budget. “Providing opportunities for families to recreate is vitally important to this growing area. I cannot wait to see the incredible community asset this park will be for many years."
