Point Wells Community Workshop Series

Point Wells Community Workshop Series

Workshop #1: Preparing for Snohomish County’s Environmental Review Process

Wednesday, Jan. 15 - 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Shoreline City Hall Council Chambers - 17500 Midvale Avenue N

Snohomish County will soon start the environmental review for the proposed development at Point Wells. The review will look at the development’s impacts and determine how to address them.

The proposed development at Point Wells will take up to 25 years to fully complete. However, the project’s impacts and mitigations must be identified at this stage of the process. As the Point Wells development project moves forward, the City will host a series of workshops to ensure that the community has an opportunity to provide input on Snohomish County’s environmental review process and identify capital investments that will make for a safer transportation corridor.

Soon, Snohomish County will begin the scoping process for its environmental review. The review will look at the development’s impacts and determine how to address them. The first step in the process is to conduct “scoping.” Scoping is required to identify the elements and to guide the scope of the environmental factors to be evaluated in an environmental review. It is the community’s opportunity to comment on the impacts of the proposed development, identify alternatives to the development, and make suggestions on how to address the impacts.

Snohomish County and BSRE have agreed to a 30 day scoping comment period, which is longer than the minimum 21 day requirement. Snohomish County will hold two public meetings during the scoping period, including one in Shoreline.
