Under the agreement, the Japanese Gulch Group has six months to raise $375,000 toward buying the property, and to consider whether it wants to move forward with the land deal. Then, the group would have two years to pay off the remaining purchase price. Japanese Gulch Group member Richard Emery declined to comment on the price of the land, which is owned by a Snohomish County family. The group plans to work with the city of Mukilteo and other regional organizations to raise the money for the land acquisition.
