Snohomish County Council reschedules public hearing on Jordan Creek condemnation to June 17
Summary
The council voted unanimously to move a public hearing in a county condemnation matter to June 17 at 10:30 a.m.; staff said the change was needed because of staffing availability. The action authorizes the prosecuting attorney to proceed with condemnation preparations for the property identified in the record.
Snohomish County Council on May 12 approved moving a public hearing in a condemnation matter to June 17, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., after a staff report said the change was necessary because of staffing availability.
The clerk introduced Motion 26-196, described in the meeting record as authorizing the prosecuting attorney to commence condemnation proceedings for a parcel identified in the transcript as "Jordan Creek Bridal number 214 RC1369, UPI number 15Dash0083Parcel002." A county staff member told the council the item had been briefed previously and asked that the hearing be rescheduled from June 10 to June 17 due to staffing constraints.
A council member moved to set the new time and date and another member seconded the motion. The chair called the vote and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
The council did not take additional action on the condemnation itself at this meeting; the rescheduled hearing will be the forum for public testimony and any formal decisions on the proposed taking. The staff report on May 12 cited only staffing availability as the reason for rescheduling; no other substantive changes to the scope or property description were announced during the session.
Clarifying details: The property description and identifiers were read from the agenda/record exactly as: "Jordan Creek Bridal number 214 RC1369, UPI number 15Dash0083Parcel002." The transcript text may contain transcription or spelling errors for the parcel label; the county docket or the posted agenda should be consulted for the authoritative parcel description and legal identifiers.
Next steps: The public hearing will be held on June 17, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., per the council vote. The council's action on May 12 was limited to setting the hearing date; any formal condemnation action would follow the public hearing process.
