THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 2016
‘We already have the Garden of Surging Waves Chinese park. Would you
support a Scandinavian monument in a park near the Astoria Riverwalk?’
“Absolutely. It
would be a won-
derful tribute to our
local heritage.”
Bill Sutton, Astoria
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“I think the Scandina-
vians should have a
park. The more diversity,
the better.”
“Of course. I think
that would be lovely.
Good luck with the
fi nancing.”
Mary Allegoren, Davis, California
