Jerry Reilly is the temporary chair of the Olympia Capitol Park Foundation. This newly organized group has begun to gather signatures on an Initiative Petition that may eventually lead to the creation of a new park on the isthmus between Capitol Lake and Budd Inlet. If established, this park would require the demolition of the Capitol Center building, sometimes referred to as the “mistake by the lake.” The Initiative petition requires the City Council to undertake a feasibility analysis to investigate the acquisition and development of a part of the Capitol Lake-Budd Inlet . . .

Jerry Reilly speaks with an Olympia voter about the rezone.
