Burien lawmakers voted Jan. 23 to demolish the Normandy Park/ south Burien fire station at 135 S. Normandy Rd. and build a new facility on the site.
The new station will be a two-story 18,850 square-foot building with three vehicle bays, a maintenance bay, training classroom and sleep rooms for six firefighters.
The facility will also feature a running trail that could be used by community members. Other amenities include surface parking for approximately 18 vehicles, landscaping, stormwater improvements, an emergency generator and fuel pump.
While the current station can be accessed from both Normandy Rd. and Occidental Ave. S., the new facility will be built further south on the site with access only from Occidental. Two single-family residences behind the current station have been demolished to make way for the new building.
A new traffic emergency light signal is proposed for the intersection of Normandy Rd. and Occidental.
Burien’s hearing examiner conducted a public hearing on Dec. 8, attended by two nearby residents.
