CORRECTION: In the article, “Enumclaw council gives thumbs-up to start preliminary community center design”, publised Aug. 3, it was reported both community center options considered by the city council had gym space — one a high school-sized gym, and the other an elementary school-sized gym. This is incorrect: the second option only considered room for a small exercise room, not a larger gym. The online article has been updated.
