Dear Jill,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the West African Community Center to operate a
social service organization (West African Community Center) on the project site located at 505 S
4th St in Renton. Based on the information provided and our understanding of the project and its
APE, the Duwamish Tribe supports the change in use of the building.
We request that any permanent lighting associated with the project be dark sky compliant to
reduce light pollution. Darkened skies were favorable conditions to practice traditional life
pathways.
Thank you,
Nancy Sackman for
Duwamish Tribal Historic Preservation
Have a great day, Nancy.
