- The Wells Site Park Acquisition project was preliminarily ranked #12 out of 20 grant
applications for the Local Parks acquisition only category by the State's Recreation and

certain that the Fall City Metropolitan Park District will not qualify for State funding during
this grant application cycle. Click Here

Scoring Lists.
