Snohomish County may buy Sultan land

EVERETT — Snohomish County could purchase property near the Skykomish River for $600,000 to provide open space and river access for the public. The Conservation Advisory Board, a group that makes recommendations to the Snohomish County Council on open space funding approved a motion recommending the purchase.

The properties are in the Skyview Tracts Subdivision near Sultan and were used for illegal activity by squatters. In January, Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon ordered a cleanup of the site that has resulted in removal of 400 tons of junk and debris.

The Conservation Futures Advisory Board preserves land as open space, farm and agricultural land, timber land and property for public use. For more information, call Deanna Dawson at (425) 388-3297.
