Monroe to Duvall Shuttle
Friday
August 17th was a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new shuttle bus
that will run between Monroe and Duvall. This is a great new service that links
Community Transit and King County Metro riders.
Prior to this shuttle for a person to ride a bus to the east side, they
had to go to Everett and then make connections down south from there – with
this new connections residents can take the shuttle to Duvall and be
immediately connected to transit in East King County. This shuttle will also take passengers to
various locations throughout Monroe.
There is a suggested donation of $1.00 per ride. You can find route
information here.
Wilderness Accessibility
I found an interesting article in the Snohomish Tribune regarding wilderness
accessibility for all residents. This article was written by wilderness advocate, sportsman, preservationist and author, Bob Heirman, who died last year at the age of 84. In the article, Heirman writes about access for all into our forest lands, with the end of the article cautioning against extremes
in dealing with our forest lands so that all people, and all ages, have access to
our amazing landscape. It was a great read and you can find it here.
Last year council passed a chronic nuisance property ordinance to provide additional tools for our law enforcement teams in dealing with these properties.
I received some updates from the team and wanted to share some photos of properties that have been recently cleaned up in Gold Bar and Monroe.
