The cost of baskets really should be negligible in the grand scheme of things. If you're building a course for yourself on your own land, it's a lot more of a factor, but for city parks, their budgets are far bigger. The cost of installing a disc golf course--a really sweet one at that--is a fraction of what most park facilities cost. The biggest issue is finding the land that'd be suitable for it. Also, keep in mind that they already have the 9 baskets they'll be pulling from Juel.

I've only been to Marymoor once, but first thing I thought when driving through it was "wow, this could be a sweet spot for a course." but yeah, like adam guessed, there does appear to be a lot of wetlands there, and its already being used by a bunch of other things too. I honestly don't know how feasible it'd be to get a course in there, but it has great potential for sure.
