Hearing set on radio towers

A hearing on proposed radio towers in the Snohomish River Valley is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday at the county administration building, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett.

Two towers won’t get a county permit until any potential health risks cited in a study are addressed.

Five towers are expected to be 199 feet tall, and the sixth, 349 feet tall.
