State of the Forest
With all the effort and involvement of members of the neighborhood, we have earned a delay of any decisions about the forest by
the city. However--the issue is definitely not off the table entirely.
We have discovered that the forest was being considered for surplus by the city to be made available for sale to developers as early
as 2018, but its inclusion was delayed until this year. The city
council is planning to revisit the issue again by the end of the
summer.
So we only have a brief window of opportunity.
The mayor, while
recognizing the beauty and value of the forest, also has concerns
about the space providing no benefit, financial or otherwise, to the
wider city. The population of Everett has more than doubled in the
past 30 years, and space to build new homes is becoming harder to
find, so unless the forest provides some other benefit, it will be reinvestigated as a potential build site.
The folks who meet every week on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. (the
meeting details are always available on the Save the Wood Creek
Forest website) are seeking ways that the forest can be a benefit to
the city, so that we can ensure its preservation for the future.
We have had positive responses from city officials, so there is hope
that if provided with other, responsible options, the city council
and/or mayor may be open to proposals for Wood Creek forest. In
no particular order, some of the options we're exploring include:
Working with the city to earn grants that would give them
funds to preserve the Wood Creek forest area
Working with Forterra (learn more about Forterra at https://
forterra.org/) to turn Wood Creek forest into a preserved parcel
Working with the City of Everett to create a land bank that
allows developers to pay to support Wood Creek forest any
time they need to remove trees or to build in more isolated
areas within Everett
Gaining support from other nature and environmental groups
is also a priority
Finally, as a medium-term solution (may be 18+ months), rezoning the area to some designation other than R1 is being
pursued
