Snohomish County
Council approves development
The Snohomish County Council voted unanimously this week to approve a development called Quinn’s Crossing.
The developer applied in 2005 to build 48 homes on 114 acres west of Echo Lake Road at 215th Place SE.
Neighbors appealed the development to a hearing examiner and then the County Council.
The council voted to require a monitoring well to test drinking water for coliform bacteria, nitrates and heavy metals. The tests must be done during construction and for two years after people move into the first phase of homes.
