I am not in support of the decisions made for the firehouse. The community that has been built around this place is a community that myself, and thousands of others hold dear to heart. I personally have made friends and built so many meaningful connections that would have only been possible through the beautiful sanctuary that is the OFH. On top of this I would like to mention that the firehouse quite literally is the epicenter of the music scene for youth in the king county area. I don’t mean to sound over the top with the following but:

If the firehouse and all of its resources are not only maintained but built upon, music and self expression in Redmond and surrounding areas will thrive and flourish as it always has

If these resources and opportunities are taken away, music and art as it is known in Redmond and surrounding areas, will die.
