In the doubleheader meeting just concluded, the Southwest Design Review Board delivered the same verdict to both projects they considered: Come back for a second round of Early Design Guidance. Though the projects differ in size and location – 1250 Alki SW proposes 125 apartments, 9021 17th SW proposes 31 apartments – board concerns leading to the “try again” verdicts came down mostly to wanting the projects to work better in and with their surroundings. This means each project will have at least two more review meetings. We’ll publish detailed writeups of both of tonight’s sessions in the morning on Friday.
