To The Editor,
There is a jewel in the Southside of West Seattle.
A Seattle School District sports complex connected to Chief Sealth International High and Denny International Middle School called the Southwest Athletic Complex (SWAC).
It's used by both of the schools and the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department, countless track and field groups, Military ROTC groups, The Seattle Fire Department, Somali Ethiopian and Hispanic Soccer groups, and used daily by the people of the community.
Around the late 1990s the school district started to remodel the old broken down complex, building a state of the art football stadium complete with track and field stations and a softball field and a utility field and a beautiful baseball field.
It was a dream come true for the schools and the community.
