Notice of Flood Area The colossal landslide that buried a community in Snohomish County, Washington took the lives of many people, destroyed homes, and erased properties. We watched in horror as this disaster became headlines over the last month. Just as in Snohomish County, flood and slide disasters occur in Marriott- Slaterville City. Much of our City is located in the flood plain or flood prone areas. Slides happen along the meandering river. It is hard to measure the cost of such disasters. In 2011 our City experienced a flood that jeopardized many properties and cost the taxpayers large sums. Snohomish County officials have been blasted for not doing enough to inform residents of the flood and landslide danger in that community as this article shows: www.bigstory.ap.org/article/quest-id-remains-brings-mystery-af ter-mudslide Our City is informing you now of the disaster danger in flood prone areas of the City. The City also has strict standards that preclude much development in flood areas and in accordance with FEMA regulations. Development in flood prone areas is discouraged. Notice is given that those who opt to develop in flood prone areas do so at their own risk.
