Earlier this year, the City Council approved the site plan for a laundromat at 6023 42nd Avenue
North and vacated an alley easement as part of the plan. When the vacation documents were
to be recorded, we discovered that the city had underlying title to a 16' x 16.57' area at the
west end of the vacated alley and it comprises part of Tumble Fresh's approved site plan. The
Tumble Fresh developer has agreed to pay $1,300 plus a $700 escrow for the city's legal
