Biographical Note

Robert E. Kildall is an environmental activist concerned with urban park development. As chairman of the Magnolia community Club he helped promote the development of Commodore Park, 1973, along the ship canal and the establishment of Discovery Park, 1974, in the Fort Lawton area. In 1974 he was appointed to the Seattle Board of Park Commissioners, and served as chairman, 1975-1977. He continued his interest in the Discovery Park project, especially in the environmental problems associated with the placement by the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (METRO) of the West Point Treatment Facility, a waste treatment facility, adjacent to Fort Lawton. In 1977 he became chairman of the Clean Water Coalition and the Discovery Park Environmental Impact Statement Ad Hoc Committee.
