Although Northgate Community Center, 10510 Fifth Ave. N.E., isn’t on the chopping block for the 2011-2012 budget, its employees still have to take furlough days because of the current budget gap, including one tomorrow, Oct. 8.
The neighboring Northgate Library, located at 1000 Fourth Ave. N.E., also will be closed Friday as part of its regular hours.
Other services and facilities that won’t be available Friday because of the Seattle Parks and Recreation furlough include grounds maintenance; all community centers (except child care and late-night programs, which will still operate); swimming pools; Environmental Learning Centers; Lifelong Recreation (except Food and Fitness programs, which will still operate); and the Business Service Center.
On Monday, parks facilities and services that will be closed include administrative offices (communications, correspondence, Park Board support, Web management, public outreach, human resources, finance and administration); the Planning and Development Division; and the Magnuson Park office.
Too bad no one coordinated with Seattle schools which are all closed Friday.
