Snohomish County Council approves vacation of unopened portion of 40th Street SE adjacent to Nicholson property
Summary
The council voted 5-0 on Jan. 7 to vacate a 30-by-89-foot (2,670 sq ft) unopened portion of 40th Street SE adjacent to Brett and Angela Nicholson’s property after the county engineer recommended approval with conditions. No members of the public testified.
Snohomish County Council on Jan. 7 unanimously approved ordinance 25-080 to vacate and abandon a 30-foot-by-89-foot unopened portion of 40th Street Southeast, removing 2,670 square feet of county road right-of-way adjacent to the property owned by Brett and Angela Nicholson.
Council staff Deb Bell told the council the Nicholsons submitted the required road-vacation petition and that the county engineer’s written report recommended approving the petition with conditions. The ordinance was presented for public testimony; no speakers came forward in person or online. The council moved to approve the ordinance, conducted a roll-call vote and recorded the measure as passing 5-0.
The vacation transfers control of the defined strip of right-of-way adjacent to the Nicholson property; staff did not report additional fiscal impacts or identify the engineer’s conditions during the hearing. The ordinance’s adoption concludes the council’s formal review and authorizes staff to proceed consistent with the conditions in the county engineer’s report.
The council took no further public comment on the item and moved on to subsequent ordinances.
