Snohomish County's budget surpasses $1 billion this year
EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council has passed its first $1 billion budget. The county supports the sheriff’s office, airport, public utilities, human services, and roads and bridges among other things.
The spending plan includes money to reverse a 2-gram threshold for felony drug prosecutions and bulk up the county’s rainy-day fund. It was approved by a 4-1 vote Tuesday, with Councilmember Stephanie Wright the lone dissenter.
“It’s a fiscally responsible budget, with a 0% property tax increase,” said County Council Chairman Terry Ryan.
In September, County Executive Dave Somers presented his budget plan which the council then tweaked.
