Mason County approves sale of surplus Public Works parcel at 7 Public Works Drive for $465,000
Summary
After a public hearing with no testimony, the Mason County commissioners approved sale of Lot 7 at Public Works Drive (parcel 42002-13-90070) to David C. Bailey for the appraised value of $465,000.
Mason County commissioners voted to sell a county-owned surplus parcel at 7 Public Works Drive in Shelton to David C. Bailey (or assigns) for $465,000, the appraised value listed in the meeting materials.
The parcel (parcel number 42002-13-90070, described as Lot 7) was declared surplus by the county in April 2019 by resolution 32-19. County staff presented the appraisal and the offer; the meeting record shows no public testimony at the public hearing. A commissioner noted the county had previously marketed similar surplus parcels and that this was an arms-length transaction following updated appraisals.
Why it matters: Disposal of surplus county land converts county-owned real estate to private ownership and provides revenue that can be used for county purposes or reinvestment; the parcel is adjacent to county road corridors and other previously sold lots near State Route 101 and Public Works Drive.
