﻿﻿Dear Mayor Birney, 

 

My name is Zion Tawney, I am sending this message to you as one of many teens in Washington state that have been impacted by the Old Fire House Teen Center in Redmond. As it stands, The Old Fire House is set to be closed at the end of the month. This place has been an outlet for teenagers across king county not only to experience live music with likeminded teens, but as an info center to get the help they need for any problems they’re experiencing in their own lives. 

	 

	The Old firehouse Teen Center has been a landmark in Redmond ever since it was built in 1942. Teenagers from the 1990s til today have made irreplaceable memories at Old Firehouse events and have gotten the help they need there. The Old Firehouse Teen Center is a place that has made so many teenagers in Washington state feel apart of a community that allows them to express themselves whilst providing a drug and alcohol free environment, prioritizing concertgoers safety. It has been a safe space for many young adults over the course of 30+ years, the community that surrounds the firehouse loves and values it for the memories, the music, and the people. 

	 

		The Old Firehouse Teen Center has had a huge effect on people emotionally and if this wonderful community center shuts down, it will severely hurt this lively band of creative individuals. I implore you to rethink this decision on the closure of the firehouse. Do not let this beloved piece of history in Redmond go forgotten.





Thank you for taking time to hear my concerns.





Sincerely, 

Zion Tawney
