CORRECTION: In the article, “Enumclaw council gives thumbs-up to start preliminary community center design”, publised Aug. 3, it was reported both community center options considered by the city council had gym space — one a high school-sized gym, and the other an elementary school-sized gym. This is incorrect: the second option only considered room for a small exercise room, not a larger gym. The online article has been updated.

MEETINGS FOR AIRPORT COMMISSION UPCOMING: Two virtual public Zoom meetings have been scheduled for the Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission (CACC), the body created by the state legislature tasked with recommending an option for the region’s airport needs. The first will be Aug. 23 at 12 p.m., and the second on Aug. 31 at 5:30 p.m. You can find and bookmark the links to attend both attached to this story online. An online open house will be held from Aug. 15 through Sept. 9, a link to which will be posted next week when it opens. The CACC was briefed in June about a number of potential “greenfield” sites for a new airport, including a hypothetical site in Enumclaw. The CACC has made no recommendations so far.
