ML Council looks at sleep center options, honors Anderson for homeless work
MOSES LAKE — The City of Moses Lake will likely be given three future options for the location of the homeless sleep center, including an expansion of the current site. In a presentation to council members during a study session prior to the council’s regular Tuesday meeting, consultants with Portland-based ECONorthwest said they had looked at a number of sites around the city but finally settled on three possibilities — the current sleep center at the corner of East Broadway Avenue and SR 17, the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District’s building at 932 E. Wheeler Road, and the proposed site of the future Moses Lake Police Department building on North Central Drive. “We initially considered 12 sites, and narrowed it down to three,” said Lee Ann Ryan, a project manager for ECONorthwest. “It’s crazy to see how many sites we looked at.”
