Lake Stevens Rooster Neck is on the Line
January 23rd, 2008 at 8:48am |
The downtown landmark runs afoul of the city sign code.
And Lake Stevens has a 7-foot-tall statue of a rooster outside the Chicken Drive-In.
Now, the downtown landmark might have to fly the coop, city officials say, because the fiberglass fowl violates the sign code.
Trisha Akerlund, who owns the drive-in, said she’d like to keep the big bird because it’s steeped in tradition. Generations of Lake Stevens High School seniors have made purloining the poultry a regular prank.

Our city officials and administration have no respect for the established culture of our Lake Stevens.
LS is my home, I’ve lived here most of my life, raised 4 adult kids here who attended LSSD K- 12 and grew up with The Chicken.
Save our Chicken for all the kids yet to be born here to treasure.
