Leavenworth, WALocal News

The City of Leavenworth is actively seeking letters of interest for a volunteer position on the Upper Valley Park and Recreation Service Area (PRSA) Board, specifically for the Chumstick Highway Represented Position. Formed in 1997, the PRSA is a legal entity that plays a vital role in managing the funding for community recreational facilities, notably the local pool. The maintenance and operational expenses of the pool are primarily supported by property tax assessments levied on PRSA residents. The open board position requires candidates to reside along the Chumstick Highway, highlighting the importance of local representation. Serving on the board involves attending scheduled meetings, with the next one set for November.

This opportunity allows community members to engage directly in local governance and contribute to the recreational needs of their area. The PRSA Board meets six times annually, reflecting a structured approach to community input and oversight. This initiative not only promotes civic involvement but also ensures that recreational amenities are maintained for the benefit of all residents.
