The following is a release from Snohomish County:

Right before the state of Washington enacted the Growth Management Act, Snohomish County leaders from various pockets of the county got together to start a dialogue about growth and planning.

Twenty-six years later, Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT), a growth management advisory council, is going strong; the group elected new officers at its Feb. 25 meeting.

Lake Stevens Mayor Vern Little and County Councilmember Brian Sullivan were elected co-chairs, and Snohomish Mayor Karen Guzak and County Councilmember Stephanie Wright will share vice-chair responsibilities.  The new terms started immediately and will last for one year.

Snohomish County Tomorrow is a cooperative forum with representatives from Snohomish County, 19 of its cities and the Tulalip Tribes. The group’s primary function is to oversee countywide planning policies – written policies on growth management from which the county’s and cities’ comprehensive plans are developed.
