Park District forced to end vacation rentals at historic Belle Baldwin house

But the property could see new use as a tenant rental with the help of Vashon HouseHold.

One of the three AEDs has already been installed at the high school football field in time for the start of school. This unit is mounted on the bleachers (left) and also shown in close-up (right). Two other AEDs will be installed where they can be quickly accessed from the soccer and baseball fields plus the McMurray and Chautauqua playfields. The three units are lighted at night and available 24 hours a day. If you use the school fields, it’s a good idea to locate the AEDs in advance, before an emergency, just in case.
