'Save the Cedar River' to file appeal this week against new asphalt plant
The local organization ‘Save the Cedar River’ has promised to make a formal appeal against the construction of a new hot-mix asphalt plant in Renton. Its proposed location is off State Route 169, just 150 feet from Cedar River.
The organization’s co-chairman Bob Baker revealed they will file their appeal by May 4. The period for any organization to file an appeal ends on May 5.
Formed originally in 2018, ‘Save the Cedar River’ and has received support from the City of Renton, elected officials, businesses including the clothing company Patagonia, and more than 10,000 signatures throughout the four-year fight. Patagonia pledged the organization $20,000 for legal fees.
“We pressured and pressured King County Council, and it fell on deaf ears,” Baker said. “Dunn did go and get a moratorium to stop the plant for six months, but no one else on the council would back him for a final moratorium.”
