U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Bothell, included $1 million in a federal
projects proposal to be used in building the Haselwood Family YMCA
Wednesday.
Murray sits on the Transportation, Housing and Urban
Development Subcommittee, which approved the measure. It will go to a
vote in the full Appropriations Committee before a vote before the
Senate. If approved, it would be reconciled with a U.S. House of
Representatives spending measure, said Murray spokesman Evan Miller.
The project is expected to provide 170 construction jobs
and, once complete, 50 family-wage staffing jobs that will employ
persons of low to moderate income, according to a prepared statement
from Murray.
