Drewel County ExecuUve 2930 Wetmore Avenue Everett, WA 98201 (206)3883468 FAX (206) 388 6494 This Ictter is in response to your requcst for an answer from the County by February 14th rcgarding the Oooding problem around your home at 1830 12Gth St S.E.

Your house }looding appears to be related to a number of issues, including incremental increases in tlow from developments in the area, a potentially undersized culvert under the State Highway, the increased flooding of the nawral channel between Silver and Rugg's Lakes, tlie lar,k of maintenance of the pond outlet, and the location of your home itself in a natural low arca.
