Project summary statement: A petition has been received from the owners of the abutting properties for the proposed vacation of the remaining alleys in the block bounded by Rockefeller Avenue on the west, Oakes Avenue on the east, Pacific Avenue on the north, and 32nd Street on the south. The petitioners own more than two-thirds of the property abutting the alley rights-of- way proposed to be vacated, thus fulfilling the statutory requirements of RCW 35.79.010 that the petition must be signed by “the owners of more than two-thirds of the property abutting upon the part of the street or alley sought to be vacated.” The requested vacation is being sought to combine the parcels located on each side of the alleys into a larger, consolidated site for future development purposes. RCW 35.79.010 further requires that City Council set a date and time for the matter to be heard. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Adopt a Resolution setting October 22, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. as the date and time to hear and determine the petition for the proposed vacation of the remaining alleys in the block bounded by Rockefeller Avenue on the west, Oakes Avenue on the east, Pacific Avenue on the north, and 32nd Street on the south.
