Save Picnic Point Forest!
The Picnic Point Preservation Committee invites YOU to an informational meeting at Mukilteo City Hall, Sunday, July 12th, at 7:00 PM
Help preserve this important forest of the Picnic Point Cree Watershed. Contest the proposed Frognal (aka Horseman’s Trail) development of 112 homes on a 22-acre steeply forested hillside above Picnic Point Road. Let’s work to give this land the opportunity to be acquired for a community part and trailhead.
Impacts of cleacutting, Massive land grading and opening 60th Ave West include:
- Landslide Risk at site and below
- Increased Traffic (estimated at 1,150 car trips per day) in the area and especially around Picnic Point Elementary as well as past Serene Lake Elementary….A neighborhood safety nightmare
- INCREASED SURFACE WATER & STORM WATER RUNOFF impacting adjacent properties and the salmon bearing creek flowing directly into Puget Sound
To date, our non-profit group has successfully raised over $10,000 to counter this development. These funds paid for an environmental attorney review and response to Snohomish County as well as a professional Geo-tech report identifying the water and land use risks. With a Hearing Examiner Review as the next step, funds are needed to provide for legal aid and professional testimony during the Hearing. A Go Fund Me account “Picnic Point Preservation” has been set up to collect tax deductible donations: www.gofundme.com/xb8h3bc. Checks, too, are always welcome!
We are actively seeking volunteers, grants and funds for this venture.
