Snohomish County Council denies latest Eastview Village appeal
EVERETT — Snohomish County Council denied an appeal on July 2 against the county hearing examiner’s decision to approve plans for Eastview Village, a 145-acre development planned off Cathcart Way near Silver Firs.
Critics say the project sidestepped necessary environmental review and will create dangerous traffic situations. During the appeal hearing, Seattle-based developer Pacific Ridge Homes, argued the appellants’ concerns weren’t backed with sufficient evidence to overthrow the examiner’s decision, which the county council echoed in its decision.
In 2022, Pacific Ridge Homes, which is owned by the country’s largest home builder company D.R. Horton, submitted plans for Eastview Village. The project plans to build 1,311 residential units — a mix of houses and apartments — plus 61,000 square feet of commercial space in unincorporated Snohomish County.
The county’s Planning and Development Services Department sent the project to Hearing Examiner Peter Camp in November 2024 for approval, with hearings held from the end of November to Dec. 30.
