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.
The aim of the hearing with Snohomish County hearing examiner is to address potential health impacts of the project. The county has already approved four of the six towers, which now need federal construction permits. 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.
