As of December 5, 2025, Funding has been secured, a Letter of Intent has been signed, a Letter to Accept Purchase has been signed, and a Park is planned. On July 17, 2025, an agreement was announced between local community group ‘Save the Cedar River’ and Lakeside Industries that would halt the building of a proposed asphalt plant along SR-169 and the Cedar River. Under the new agreement, Lakeside Industries would not move forward with construction of an asphalt plant under its approved permitting. Instead, they would reengage with King County to permit a warehouse as an alternative. The estimated trip traffic for a warehouse is substantially lower than what was estimated for the asphalt plant, and the warehouse plan would still protect all the critical areas as required by the County Code.
