Public lake only accessible to surrounding homeowners
Public sites should provide opportunities
I’ve grown weary of the woes of the wealthy and their self indulgences in the case of John Olerud and now Lake Burien [“Lake Burien: The public lake you can’t use,” page one, Feb. 18]. What gives?
Homeowners and their friends have access and usage of public waters that the general populous does not. [Robbie] Howell’s righteous attitude of “some have it, some don’t,” is why there are public parks and waterways for those people who do not own lake-view property.
–Mark Hoffman, Lynnwood
