County Council OK's Stanwood behavioral health center
STANWOOD — For years, the Tulalip Tribes have been working toward a 32-bed behavioral health facility near Stanwood.
The Snohomish County Council helped them to clear a final hurdle for it to move forward this month.
To operate, the center needs a conditional land use permit, which was granted by Hearing Examiner Peter Camp on March 7 but later appealed by neighbors. On May 17, the County Council approved a motion to uphold Camp’s decision granting the permit.
In a statement, Tulalip Chair Teri Gobin said the tribes were pleased with the approval, noting the facility will be operated by the state of Washington.
