Lynden Laurel road case won’t be appealed by county
The Skagit county board of commissioners announced they will not appeal the Lynden Laurel road decision to the supreme court. They cite rising interest and maintenance costs and argue the appeal would not save money for residents. The $35,000 bridge on the Nooksack and other small expenditures bring total near $40,000, with road and bridge funds limited. Interest on warrants and contractor payments add to financial pressure, while U.S. bridge replacement near Everson remains at $35,000. Kensington Club will meet May 12 with Mrs Charles Philo.
