Tribes granted permit to build behavioral health center near Stanwood
STANWOOD — The Tulalip Tribes can proceed with building a 32-bed secure behavioral health facility near Stanwood after clearing a final regulatory hurdle.
Snohomish County Hearing Examiner Peter Camp issued a conditional use permit Tuesday to the tribes to build and operate the residential treatment center on an undeveloped parcel it owns on 300th Street NW.
Camp also imposed conditions to prevent patients from walking away when released, to alert the community if one wanders off and to ensure the center will not look like an institution when constructed. Those conditions came in response to concerns raised by residents and elected leaders in a yearlong review process.
Requests for reconsideration are due by March 17. Appeals to the County Council must be submitted by March 21.
