He says most of that stretch of highway is maintained by the local municipalities of Mill Creek & Bothell (except for the section between 196th and Mill Creek/15th). He said the County will work on checking it more regularly and sweeping it. He will also send us contact info for Mill Creek and Bothell so we can get them to sweep their sections. ] ********** |
