Obnoxious smell continues still

As the warm weather continues and the complaints begin to flow into Puget Sound Clean Air Agency once again about the horrific odors that plague the residents east of I-5 in Marysville and North Everett, what will the agency be doing to investigate these consistent complaints? The so called unbiased “study” that was completed last year over complaints they were originating from Cedar Grove Composting seems to have gone by the wayside. And has anyone else noticed that the odors tend to be worse after the agency closes?

Since it sounds like this summer is going to be dry and warm, then I’m sure that more and more complaints are going to be filed over these terrible odors that permeate everything within the paths of the prevailing winds! Enough is enough; when can the residents who have had to put up with these odors for many years going to finally have some answers as to where they are originating, and better yet, to come up with a solution? Since the complaints that are filed online become public record why hasn’t Puget Sound Clean Air Agency been investigated to find out what they are doing to help the public battle what most certainly has to be a major health hazard?
