A group of Western Washington cities today announced six locations under consideration for a new jail, including spots in Shoreline, Seattle and Bellevue. It seems the King County Correctional Facility - where many misdemeanor prisoners are sent - is running out of space, and area cities were given a 2012 deadline for coming up with a solution. Potential jail sites in the running include:
-King County Jail Annex, southeast corner of the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Jefferson Street, Seattle -Seattle north, 1600 W. Armory Way
-Seattle south, Highland Park Way SW and West Marginal Way SW
-Bellevue, 555 116th Ave. NE
-Shoreline, 2545 NE 200th Street
-Unincorporated King County, 13225 NE 126th Place
So, where should it go? Here's a press release about the selection process. And West Seattle Blog has lots of details.
