Three Lakes Neighbors for Responsible Growth is a Washington non-profit organization centered in the old ghost community of Three Lakes, Washington.
There has been some construction activity and noise, but not much is happening. I've checked the permits and apparently they have received Preliminary Approval which is good until 2/8/2011. The permit information is not easy to get to. Try this link, which may work. if not, the permit # is: 04-112029-000-00-SD. They also have a Right of Way permit issued but it looks like the only progress shown on it is a Preconstruction meeting held in June 2008. There is also a grading permit for 32,600 yards of fill. Interestingly, it outlaws winter grading without meeting some special conditions.
As far as we know, the developers have not yet made their final submittal. It appears that the collapse in the housing market and the apparent oversupply of houses may have reduced their financial incentive to proceed. We continue to monitor the application status as noted below. It does not appear that there will be a public hearing.
The New Application Status is on the Snohomish County Web site here.
We've been waiting for the latest submittal from the Panther Lake Ridge Developers and a response from the country. There was a new submittal in early September. We are working on making some suggestions for better site buffers.
The next step in the process is that there will be a new public hearing on the new proposal.
The New Application Status is on the Snohomish County Web site here.
A new organization has formed to deal new development proposals in the northern part of Snohomish County in the Seven lakes Area. Their web site is here. You can sign up for their newsletter on the web site. They also have a community forum set up to discuss issues.
There are two new applications pending for our area. Note: if the links are bad they will be fixed on March 6.
Wonderland Park is by the Storm Lake Store: The County Application site is here. the Application file is 06-129169-000-00-SD. and a map:
UPDATE 12/8/08 It looks like this one has been approved!
Whisperwood Estates is a bit further east, possibly almost to Hidden Creeks (which I can't seem to locate right now). The application site is here. The Application file is 06-133579-000-00-SD. Here is a map: (it appears this may be part II of this RCF)
UPDATE 12/8/08 It looks like this one is in Final Plat Review.
The road in lower left is Mero Road.
Our new blog is now operational at this site. I've started out with an article about the Skykomish River making the Top 10 Endangered List.
More articles will come in the near future as I peruse the County web site and pull some materials from our other web site into this site.

As of early August, 2005 the developer has resubmitted their application. This means that it will have to go through the entire process all over again. More information follows.
As of September 30, there has been a new submission from the developer. Still no word on the hearing date. I have moved the data from that we had posted from the wingedseed.com site to this site. Actually, for right now it is still in both locations, but I will be adding a link from the old site to the new site.
As of September 12, we have had a meeting to plan our response. It appears the Hearing will be scheduled for November 16.
