Hayden Island would be clogged with big-box traffic and stuck for 50 years with a dysfunctional street grid if it was not for Sam Adams and his staffers Warren Jimenez and Jesse Beason.
They did not have to step up to the plate for us -- no one else has since we were annexed to the City in the mid-1980s.
This time big time city hall lobbyists tried to stop us, Wal-Mart tried to stop us, the Mayor thought about opposing us but Sam pushed forward with us.
Now, we got Jantzen Beach Super Center to establish a street grid through their property that will connect an emerging street grid on the remainder of the island. And we have a planning process underway to figure out how to become the island what want.
Hayden Island is grateful
