In regards to the Northwest University’s plan to expand it’s footprint with massive sports facilities, etc., by its Houghton campus, this seems totally out of proportion for the area as well as for the school.

In addition, I find it somewhat dismaying in that the Houghton community would consider approving this project, whereas some years ago the Lake Washington School District proposed a far more modest expansion of their administrative facilities building in the same area, but their effort was soundly rejected by Houghton residents. Yet now they are leaning towards favoring this new effort on behalf of this purely sectarian institution?
