Pete....really?? Lund out?? Someone asked the other day what he was even doing there, I didn't have an answer.
Thats what I heard. I asked the same "what was he even doing there" question to an employee, I got a blank stare...a pause....and a "oh, he designed the graphix package for Chris Duplisiisiiiissssis's R2 in the WRC Acadamy". Obviously he wasn't a integral part of the operation.
Lund, along with Bob Morris did sell the whole deal to Rimmer. Don't know what Lunds deal was with the ching part of it or whatever but that Morris guy was a real piece of work. Everytime he openned his mouth bullshit oozed out. There's a lot of bad blood(and lawsuits) going on between locals, the city, and county, and the company, most of which came about due to the statments made early on by those two. Then the shannigans around the GRC event, and resulting king county "emergancy motion" to allow the event to happen without a traffic or enviromental studies...which then turned into annexation..... that included a sneaky zoning change slipped in.... which turned the place which "was" a dirty industrial site, superfund I believe, to retail, light industrial, and r-e-$-i-d-e-n-c-i-a-l.
I'd think it's safe to say that once the annexation is complete and the economy turns around the school will move and the site will become an "urban village". The school can't even hope to break a mill a year if it's dialed, but an "urban village", similar sized sites have yanked 200 mill.
