We have attempted to update some of these links rather than eliminating the page altogether, as we believe it has some worth as an "historical" document. We ask that you keep in mind that this material is dated and some of the links may be inactive. If wish to locate an item related to the LID 97-1 sewer line, the process used in creating the Industrial Park Master Plan, or the Plan itself, use the Google search function on our front page or site index.

The above sign suddenly appeared in late 2000/early 2001 on property owned by the powerful Botting family,w hich borders the north side of U. S. 2 at the far southeastern corner of Sultan's city limits. Until this sign was erected, no one but the City's "in crowd" knew anything about "mall" being planned.
Grid-lock, anyone?

Sultan's "Non-project Review Form" submitted to the (Wash. State) Department fo Ecology. Send your comments to Mayor Rowe, at 319 Main Street, Sultan, WA 98294 (A written letter mailed or hand-delivered is best, since it should remain in a file and not get waylaid.) or email your comments. Also good to send a copy of your comments to DOE. (Make sure you reference Ecology File #200102286.)

Sultan's "Scoping" information on the Industrial area is under review by DOE. "Scoping" as defined by DOE: "SCOPING = Determination of significance and scoping notice -- The scoping notice provides an opportunity for the public, other agencies, and tribes to comment on the proposed action, alternatives, and impacts to be discussed in the environmental impact statement that will be prepared for the proposal."
