Eastview Village critics seek appeal to overturn county's decision
EVERETT — Critics of the 144-acre Eastview Village development will argue in Skagit County Superior Court on Friday, claiming Snohomish County wrongly exempted the project from environmental review.
On Nov. 13, Skagit County Superior Court Judge Heather Shand initially denied the petitioners’ appeal against the development’s exemption from Washington’s State Environmental Policy Act, commonly referred to as SEPA.
The petitioners, which included the neighboring Greenleaf HOA, the nonprofit SaveBothell and its sister branch SaveCathcart, and over 20 additional residents, chose to file their overarching land use appeal in Skagit County. Land Use Petition Act appeals can be filed in the county where the discussion occurs or in adjacent counties.
The appeal also covers petitioners’ claims that the project did not fulfill complete and accurate transportation reviews and could cause future safety hazards to nearby school children and residents.
