To find this future development area (probably residential) -- which is currently owned by the international corporation going by the touchy-feelie name of "GMO Renewable Resources," -- drive northward on the Sultan Basin Road, exiting the city limits at 132nd and continuing past 116th Street until the road makes a 90-degree right turn (eastward). Keep driving straight, making no turns, and you will run smack into GMO's ownership sign.

Aside from the proposed COUNTRY VILLAGE AT WINTERS LAKE cluster development in the pristine Kellog Lake Road & Sultan Basin Road intersection in unincorporated Snhohomish County (which extends from within 900 feet of the Sultan Watershed's southern boundary, southward to 112th St. S.E., there's a new wrinkle on Sultan's landscape. The de-timbered land at the end of the 112th Street S.E. (about a mile from where Sultan Basin Road hangs a 90-degree right eastward turn), has been purchased by GMO (see note at right, an international investment firm, currenly managed "locally" by Green Grow Mgt.
