MUKILTEO—Over one hundred residents attended Mukilteo City Council’s Regular Meeting on Monday, September 16, to voice their opposition to the rezoning the Harbour Pointe Tech Center property to a 200-unit multifamily residential project.
The voting action by the city council was postponed to October 7, 2024, given a mishap by the city in sending out adequate notices of the public hearing four day into its required 10-day lead-time. The action to delay was in response to a letter sent by Telegin Law on behalf of Sundance Homeowners Association to the City on September 13, urging the council to postpone its Monday public hearing.
Mukilteo resident Mark Daryl criticized City Councilman Tom Jordal for thanking city staff for doing a “great job” when he pointed out that if the staff had done a great job the city wouldn’t be entangled in a lawsuit and would have been able to vote Monday.
“I’m worried because all of this is going to sit, and all of our passionate comments—we may not be here for it again,” said Daryl. “I’m very disappointed in the staff tonight…horrible job! There is no big, horrid thing that’s going to happen if that building stays. That building was there before we got there, we have no problem with it…I’m getting fed up and I’m this close to selling my house and leaving Mukilteo. So, let’s try and make the right decision and get the next meeting right.”…
