My name is Angela Nelson and I am a very concerned and upset property owner in Kittitas County. I <br /> have just recently learned of plans to put in a marijuana growing/processing farm across the street <br /> from my house. <br /> My husband and I bought what was supposed to be our forever home for us and our children in 2008 <br /> and owning property here in Kittitas County has been a nightmare ever since. Not only did the value of <br /> our home plummet shortly after we bought it, but tons of windmills were put up just west of us which <br /> not only ruined our view but plagues our night sky with an endless sea of flashing red lights. Now our <br /> home is further being threatened by this marijuana growing outfit on the other side of my home! Is <br /> anybody considering what this means to all the people that actually live out here! It means having a <br /> facility out here that looks like a prison and has constant lights and the reason that those have to be <br /> there is because it also means higher risk of crime and violence to our neighborhood. <br /> We live on Howard Rd, which may be rural but it is full of houses. I have three children, who all do <br /> online public school at home. These marijuana facilities are not allowed by schools or bus stops for a <br /> reason but yet they are being allowed to be right next to my children's home. My children should have <br /> the freedom to be outside with the animals, riding their bikes, taking walks out on the country roads <br /> without any threat to their safety. <br /> My family should not be put at a higher risk of violence and crime so that Blue Rock Acres can make a <br /> profit! There are plenty of places in the state that are far away from any population where they could <br /> have their "farms", there is no reason to be plopping these things in the middle of your citizen's <br /> neighborhoods, risking our safety and lowering our property values even more. We are so buried in our <br /> property that I don't know if it will ever be worth what we owe on it! <br /> As our county government, it is your job to protect the interests of the people that live here and own <br /> property here. Letting people from outside our community come in and give us higher crime rates and <br /> ruin our landscape so that they can make money at our expense is NOT protecting us! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Angela Nelson <br /> Sent from Windows Mail <br /> 1 <br />
