City of LS Looking for Community Input
The City of Lake Stevens wants to broaden its horizons and establish job opportunities within the city. The city hopes that all of this will come to fruition in the not so distant future by bringing the property located between Highway 9, U.S. 2 and 24th Street NE into the city limits.
“Lake Stevens has had this area in our comprehensive plan knowing that the City is going to need a larger job base and economic center to sustain the projected population,” Jan Berg, Lake Stevens City Administrator said.
This property has been in the city’s comprehensive plan for several years, however the City of Snohomish along with the Bellevue company SR9/US 2, a major land holder in the area, would also like to see the property within their city limits. It will be up to the county to decide.

Well, this is interesting! They want to ‘hear’ what we have to say, I think they have already proven they don’t care what Lake Stevens residents have to say even over such a trivial matter as huge fiberglass chicken. This also proves that the chicken is no trivial matter, does it?
Comprehensive plan? Is this the same kind of comprehensive plan that allowed Hewlett Packard to buy farmland and then rezone it to commercial with the promise of local employment? That comprehensive plan had community input too. Worked well didn’t it?
