Yikes! We just found out that a large-scale marijuana growing and processing facility is being constructed just a few hundred feet down our residential street!
We are just a half-mile from Salem Woods Elementary School and a few hundred feet from Lake Wagner public fishing and swimming area.
Property values declining, water quality being affected by commercial grade pesticides and herbicides, looming cannabis odor that will emanate from the venting systems, and an 8-foot fence that will resemble a prison are just a few of my concerns!
What was the Snohomish County Council thinking when in 2013 they allowed for marijuana growing and processing plants in residential areas?
Marijuana growing and processing plants should be set up in strictly agricultural areas where they will not impact citizens homes, children and community!
