Wood Creek Sinkholes have damaged homes and property

Reasons to oppose Wood Creek sale
This is a picture of a sinkhole from one of my neighbor's yards. There were a total of 5 sinkholes in these two yards!
The sink-hole was at least 50 feet deep, and it swallowed entire trees, including a classic mustang.
The Valley View side of the bank has more sinkholes than the Eastmont side. I can take some pictures of the existing sink-hole if you think that it may be useful. Here are the relevant past articles found in the news:

Update Clarification:
Thank You for the update. As you are aware Lowell, has a vested interest in what happens to this precious resource. Wood Creek flows down to Lowell and across Larimer Road into the AG land.

Spring Update:
Hi Todd,
We are not sure, there has been no new information from the city within the last several months, and perhaps this is a good thing.

The City of Everett has proposed the sale of about 92.5 acres of undeveloped green belt property. Wood Creek lies in the valley between the Valley View and Eastmont neighborhoods. Wood Creek was the main source of drinking water for the city of Everett between 1898 and 1916, until the Sultan River water project was completed. The land and the creek is a critical habitat for a variety of animals and wildlife. Additionally, the land is unstable and many parts of the land are critically sloped. This group is for anyone opposing this proposal and for trying to preserve this critical land.
