Stanwood mental health center hearing draws support, skepticism
EVERETT — Dozens packed a hearing room on Tuesday to comment on a 32-bed mental health facility proposed near Stanwood.
About 20 people attended and about 10 gave public comment on the first day of the two-day hearing.
The hearing marked one year since the project at the intersection of 300th Street NW and 80th Avenue NW north of Stanwood was announced.
It has divided the community. Supporters argued new mental health beds are desperately needed. But many neighbors objected to the proposed location in a rural neighborhood and raised safety concerns.
