Hey Skykomish and Baring residents are you tired of being represented by an ignored King County Council
You know when Snohomish County was created in 1861 they forgot to lobby for the Skykomish and Baring areas at the time. This area has been in King County since 1853. It is time we correct this mistake. You need to lobby the state legislature to correct this and petition to become part of Snohomish County this will be better for you. Unless the Socialist King County Council wants to dedicate parkland the Socialist in Seattle ignore you. The Snohomish County Council would be more friendly to you. You guys are in the same legislative district as Monroe and the rest of the Skykomish Valley why not be in the same county. King County will not miss you they do not care about you now. Please mention you want to be part of Snohomish County and King County ignores you. Lets correct this map mistake and put you in Snohomish County.
Oso mudslide disaster the worst mudslide in Washington State history in 100 years
A week ago on March 20, 2014 the landslide happened at the unincorporated community of Oso. This is the worst mudslide in modern Washington State history. The last landslide that was tragic destroyed a small town of Wellington in King County in 1910. This town was no longer exists and declared vacant in 1929 when the Cascade Tunnel was built on US Highway 2 as a scenic way to get from Everett to Wenatchee. Please continue to pray for the victims of this tragedy because this could happen to any Washington community. Most of Washington State is built on hills that includes Washington State's largest city Seattle. Many Puget Sound communities were built on the San Francisco model of straight up straight down concept that defines Olympia, Tacoma, Bremerton, Port Orchard, Whidbey Island, Everett and Seattle. Even Spokane was built on hills. The most famous there is a slope separating South Spokane from the remaining parts of the city. I used to live close to Freya Hill which is a great hill for exercising. Portland area is close to hills. Many Central Washington communities especially towns in Chelan County are built near hills on US Highway 2 and 97 between Wenatchee and Chelan. Not only in Washington State you have to worry about earthquakes but landslides. Watch out the Washington State legislature may pass legislation regulating development on rural hillsides due to this. I would only support this if they include urban hillsides too.
