County settles developer’s lawsuit
Snohomish County has signed a deal to end a lawsuit by Kirkland-based developer Camwest.
Camwest, which owns 92 acres in the Little Bear Creek area, sued to challenge the location of the county’s urban growth boundary.
The group’s property straddles the county’s line that separates the county’s urban and rural properties.
Camwest agreed to withdraw the lawsuit. In exchange, the county must complete environmental review of Camwest’s housing development.
Also, the County Council must consider the builder’s pending development proposal for its land. The county is not bound to approve the building proposal.
