It is out of respect for the people of Federal Way and for the visitors to our city that we support the proposed Federal Way Performing Arts and Conference Center.

Federal Way has provided many things that we are grateful for: well-kept streets, attractive planting and lighting, our parks and community center, our schools, state-of-the-art libraries and an outstanding police department. Looking back, and looking around, we see how stretching has led to satisfaction.

It is time to proceed with this facility that would serve us and our guests in a multitude of ways.

Gordon and Dana Turcott, Federal Way
