News of a plan by the City of Sumner to tear down the historic Ryan House in downtown Sumner has raised the ire of some residents there.
A fence was recently installed around the Ryan House in Sumner and a demolition notice was posted; citizens are battling the City of Sumner to save the city-owned historic structure. last month, news of a plan by the City of Sumner to tear down the historic Ryan House in downtown Sumner has raised the ire of some residents there. In the latest developments, a citizens’ group has formed and has now taken legal action to stop the demolition.
Since that vote, many Sumner residents and others who live nearby and who care about history have been experiencing a bit of whiplash – after having heard glowing reports the past few years about the fundraising success, and because the Ryan House is the centerpiece of the City of Sumner’s comprehensive plan.
The citizen’s group, called “Save Ryan House,” was formed by a number of the Sumner people, including several who spoke with KIRO Newsradio at a “I stand before you as a concerned citizen, but also as a voice for the community that feels unheard and consulted and is very concerned by the lack of transparency, due diligence and vision that has accompanied this decision,” said a Sumner resident named Lindsay Norlin. “And first and foremost, the lack of transparency surrounding the fate of the Ryan House is very troubling.”
“My kids are grown,” Ringe said. “I can’t tell you the last time I went to Loyalty Park, but Loyalty Park’s still important to me, I still am glad to have my tax dollars go to that. I want it to be there for future generations.” A copy of the filing shared by Randy Adams questions whether demolishing the Ryan House is consistent “with the City of Sumner Comprehensive Plan, specifically, in the Historic and Cultural Resources Sub-Element, Goals, Policies, and Objectives 1 , GPO 1.3.1 , and GPO 3.3 .”
After some back and forth via email, the spokesperson declined the interview request on behalf of Mayor Hayden because she was too busy and because “as a part-time Mayor, she does not have traditional business hours.” A request to interview members of the Sumner City Council was also turned down for the same reasons. The spokesperson said they’d only take questions in writing; a list of questions was sent by email Tuesday afternoon. As of 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, KIRO Newsradio has yet to hear back.
