Community Development staff reported that the City of Pacific has been awarded a $1.7 million King County Conservation Futures Grant to acquire open space on Frontage and a DNR-owned parcel adjacent to Alpac Elementary.
The award, noted during the council workshop on Dec. 8, 2025, is intended to allow the city to purchase and preserve the parcels as open space. City staff did not record a formal council vote on the matter at the workshop; the minutes indicate the grant award was reported as part of Community Development’s regular updates.
City staff said acquisition steps will follow standard grant- and land-purchase procedures, including any required property appraisals and title reviews. The minutes do not specify a closing timetable or funding match requirements. The grant was reported under the Community Development department’s items; no individual council member was recorded as moving or seconding a formal motion on the floor during the workshop.
Next procedural steps and any council actions required for accepting or allocating the grant are expected to be scheduled in a future public meeting.
