The property is currently (2010) located in the southwest portion of the City <br /> of Everett, adjacent to the Mukilteo city limits. The City of Mukilteo and the City of Everett are <br /> discussing plans for the annexation of the area including these parcels into the City of Mukilteo. <br /> The central and northern portions of the property were once used as a cemetery and contain a <br /> paved road that extends west to east across the property. Most of the central portion of the <br /> property is covered by herbaceous vegetation and scattered shrubs. The southern quarter of the <br /> site is covered by mixed deciduous-coniferous forest. Mature second-growth forest borders the <br /> property to the north, east, and south with multiple trails observed in the area. Residential <br /> development is located to the west of the site. The property generally slopes down to the east <br /> toward Japanese Gulch and a BNSF spur railway located approximately 0.10 mile east of the <br /> property. Two wetlands occur near the south end of the site and both extend onto adjacent <br /> properties. <br /> The City of Everett provides regulatory guidance for wetland mitigation projects within the city <br /> limits.
