Sultan July Summary
Snohomish County Parks Department and Public Works worked to clean up the area on the south side of the Skykomish River where a number of trespassers have been leaving large amounts of trash. Public Works and Solid Waste sent several pieces of machinery, a dump truck and five employees to pick up debris by hand and clean the area. Twelve tons of trash was removed from the 26 acre site. The clean-up took nearly two days to complete. Our local government at the city and county level worked together to make this area better for everyone to enjoy. The public is invited to now enjoy the property and take ownership of "Steelhead Park.GÇ¥
On July 11th, 12th, and 13th, we had a successful and peaceful Sultan Shindig. Extra staff was brought in for traffic control and security. The only complaints heard was that it was a little too warm for some visitors.
On July 29th, the Sultan City staff and several local churches and other volunteer groups put together a group of about 15 volunteers to clean the trash out from under the Mann Road Bridge on the Sultan side of the river. The group removed several truckloads of trash from the brush under and around the bridge.
On July 30, a group of seven volunteers cleaned Osprey Park. Some illegal campsites in Reese Park were located and will be removed when together a team can be assembled to assist with that task.
