Index: New trail rules for Reiter, other areas
The Snohomish County Council last month eased permitting rules for trails, such as those in the state’s Reiter Foothills and other rural recreational areas.
The council voted 4-1 to relax the regulations, with Councilwoman Stephanie Wright casting the no vote.
The change was made because many of the permitting rules in place were intended for urban areas that drain into municipal stormwater systems, not for forest trails.
Parking lots and challenge areas for off-road vehicles still must be built to higher standards. Additional regulations apply in critical habitat and wetland areas.
