PARKS TO CONDUCT RANDOM DRAWING FOR 2012 SPECIAL EVENTS AT MAGNUSON PARK HANGAR 30

 

Due to permit and occupancy issues, Seattle Parks and Recreation is restricted to allowing just one event per quarter in Magnuson Park’s Hangar 30 during 2012.

 

Because the demand greatly exceeds what can be accommodated, Parks has established a methodology for randomly selecting which events will be permitted in 2012. The intent is to provide equal access to this unique space.

 

In the interest of fairness, the use of Hangar 30 for events in 2012 will be assigned by random drawing. Only events that are sponsored by non-profit organizations and open to the public, make full use of the space, and are consistent with Magnuson Park’s mission to support arts, recreation, culture and the environment will be considered for the drawing.

 

To participate in the drawing, you can find the application in the Parks website at http://seattle.gov/parks/partnerships/rfp.htm. Please fill out and return the attached application to the mailing address noted in the application by Monday, February 28, 2011.

 

An organization can send applications for a maximum of two events – one event in each of two quarters. Each organization selected will only be allowed one event during the quarter for which they have applied. 

 

At this lottery drawing, organizations will be drawing for the following quarters:

 

First quarter:  January 1 – March 31, 2012

Second quarter:  April 1 – June 30, 2012

Third Quarter:  July 1 – September 30, 2012

Fourth Quarter:  October 1 – December 31, 2012

 

The drawing will take place at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 7, 2011 at the Magnuson Park administrative office on the east side of Hangar 30. The address is 6310 NE 74^th St., #109E, Seattle, WA 98115.

 

If you have questions, please call Charles Ng, Manager of Magnuson Park and Business Resources, at 206-684-8001 or email him at Charl...@Seattle.gov
