City of Maple Valley, WA has been negotiating with Ironman. Look for a PDF titled "City Hall Updates - October 14, 2019" :
"Met with Ironman Triathlon officials to discuss the potential of hostng a 70.3 (half triathlon) in September
2020 at Lake Wilderness. "
I am surprised that they are targeting lake Wilderness simply due to the size of that park and lake... it's not that big. The Oly in June pretty much fills the park (and uses 90% of the lake but I am sure they can find another 300 yards if you stayed close to the shoreline the entire way.) The trail nearby makes for a nice run much like the Oly. I would think Lake Meriden park would have been a better venue size wise but I suppose it is closer to main roads that would need to be closed.
