The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI) in conformance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and NOAA Administrative Order 216-6A for the above-mentioned project
The Draft EA was made available for public comment during a 30-day minimum public review period ending Wednesday November 27
Two action alternatives to implement the proposed action and a no-action alternative are evaluated in the Final EA
which was prepared per Section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and NOAA Administrative Order 216-6A and its companion manual
Policy and Procedures for Compliance with NEPA and Related Authorities
The Preferred Alternative would transfer the property (approximately 1 acre of upland and 2 acres of tidelands) to the Port of Everett
The Final EA did not identify a significant effect resulting from the implementation of either the Preferred Alternative or the Excess Property Alternative
No public or agency comments were received on the Draft EA during the public comment period
NOAA has concluded that a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is warranted
“Floodplain Management” NOAA hereby gives final notice of its decision to proceed with the proposed action
which is partially located within a floodplain
NOAA has determined that no adverse effects to the floodplain or impacts to future flooding events would occur
NOAA intends to follow the eight-step process required by Executive Order 11988
MUKILTEO — Officers from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) busted a group of illegal crabbers on a Mukilteo pier late last month
WDFW officers approached the group after watching them harvesting crabs late in the evening
One person was seen shuttling crabs back to their vehicle
officers found two undersized red rock crabs and three kelp crabs
only one possessed a valid shellfish license
The harvesters were cited for multiple violations
and the officers released the all crabs back into the water
All recreational crabbers 15 years or older must carry a current Washington fishing license
Options range from an annual shellfish/seaweed license to combination fishing licenses

— Crews from several Snohomish County fire departments responded to the scene of an ammonia leak at a Mukilteo business Friday morning
was reported on social media by the Mukilteo and Everett fire departments shortly after 10 a.m
Around 10:30 a.m.
the Mukilteo Fire Department said people within 600 feet of the leak should shelter in place as a precaution
The shelter-in-place was lifted just before noon
a spokesperson for Pacific Seafood said the ammonia leak was discovered outside of the building and first responders were “immediately notified” and were on scene within minutes
The cause of the leak was unknown around 10:45 a.m.
“Our neighbors were notified and given instructions by emergency responders to ensure their safety
We want to thank the emergency responders for their swift response,” the company said in the statement
three schools in the area were placed in a "modified shelter in place" -- Harbour Pointe
"Snohomish County and the Mukilteo Police Department have said there is no threat to our schools
but the smell may be strong in areas,” the school district said in a message to families Friday morning
“We’ll continue monitoring the situation and are keeping students inside for classes now in what we call a “modified shelter in place.”
The Mukilteo YMCA sent a message to members saying it had also closed "due to a potentially toxic substance leak."
The Mukilteo Fire Department remained at the scene until 3:19 p.m
One firefighter was injured after suffering an exposure
He was evaluated and cleared by paramedics on scene
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for public comment during a 30-day minimum public review period
The Draft EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed transfer of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) Mukilteo Research Station property at 802 Front Street (formerly 10 Park Avenue) in Mukilteo
The NWFSC determined that the property is no longer needed to fulfil its mission
and in 2022 facilities at the site were demolished/removed
In accordance with The National Defense Authorization Act
NOAA is required to transfer the property to the Port of Everett or to the General Services Administration for eventual disposal as excess property
NOAA has determined that transfer of the property outside of federal ownership requires an EA
which was prepared per Section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and NOAA Administrative Order 216-6A
and a No-action Alternative are evaluated in the Draft EA
The Draft EA did not identify a significant effect resulting from implementation of either the Preferred Alternative or Excess Property Alternative
NOAA will consider public and agency comments in a Final EA prior to making its decision regarding implementation of the proposed action
NOAA may conclude that a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is warranted
“Floodplain Management” notification is hereby given that the proposed federal action is partially located within a floodplain
An electronic copy of the Draft EA is included here and a printed copy of the Draft EA is available for viewing at the Mukilteo Library at 4675 Harbour Pointe Boulevard
Written comments on the Draft EA may be sent to the following physical or email addresses and will be accepted if received or postmarked on or prior to November 27

Here is a Halloween trick: Turning 500 feet into 10 miles
You close a vital bridge between Everett and Mukilteo
It took me 136 steps to walk across the Edgewater Bridge on West Mukilteo Boulevard
It’s under 500 feet from end to end over a deep ravine holding Edgewater Creek
those 136 steps will turn into a 10-mile trek
The 78-year-old functionally obsolete bridge will be closed on Oct
It’s expected to remain closed for a year
cutting off direct access between Mukilteo and Everett
More on WA roads: Man charged after a 1-year-old child was killed in SR 18 collision
Everett City Engineer Tom Hood expects delays could reach about 20 minutes, but the routes are designed to minimize that
“The good news is that those roadways have plenty of capacity
you actually shouldn’t notice much of a difference,” Hood said
“The 6,000 vehicles per day that use Mukilteo Boulevard here will be nicely distributed and dispersed through that detour route.”
Highways 525 and 526 will be the primary detour routes
I spoke with a few residents who have been waiting for this project for years
and they weren’t quite sure it is really going to close next week
and the pandemic didn’t help matters
“It is an environmentally sensitive area
a lot of permitting involved with that,” he said
“We’ve had some snafus with our bidding process in the past
getting concurrence from WSDOT to award the contract
Now we’re ready to push ahead.”
Those same neighbors asked me why it is going to take a year to replace such a small bridge
I ran that question by project manager Dan Enrico
He said it’s not an easy place to work
“It’s deep,” Enrico said
“60 feet down to the bottom of the ravine
and then we’re going to go another 30 feet or so into the soils down there for our foundations.”
The contractor is actually building three bridges in this project
The first two will be platforms necessary to build the bridge deck
and bringing heavy equipment into small residential streets isn’t easy either
More on WA roads: Rules every parent should teach during National Teen Driver Safety Week
“Some of the deliveries will need to have the tractor trailers be detached and have the crane turn them around so they can leave the site,” Enrico said
There is just no place to turn around on either side of the bridge
And while the primary purpose of this project is to make the bridge more seismically robust
Hood said it will also be much more functional
“We’ll have wider lanes across the bridge,” he said
“We also have sidewalks that are too narrow for modern standards
so we’ll be widening with new sidewalks
We’ll also be adding bicycle lanes to cross the bridge
the new bridge will be quite a bit wider than the existing one.”
$28 million of that is coming from federal grants

00:16 Bomb cyclone brings down trees in Mukilteo
Washington High winds from a bomb cyclone brought down trees across Washington's coast Tuesday night
Washington's Department of Transportation reported numerous trees down blocking roads (KCPQ)
We are regular customers and really love the place — and its food
The pizzas are excellent; the entree salads are huge and deluxe

Crews respond to an amonia leak in Mukilteo
BY KIRO 7 NEWS STAFF
A brief ammonia leak caused a hazmat response in Mukilteo early Wednesday
after a fire alarm sounded at a commercial building and a neighbor reported an unusual smell in the area
Crews found a cloud of what they believed to be the gas close to the ground outside the business
the presence of ammonia was detected and a Snohomish County hazmat team was called in
National News: Ellensburg School District settles with Dept. of Justice after investigation into harassment, assault
Mukilteo fire chief Chris Alexander said that because ammonia is life-threatening
Cyrus Way was closed at Harbour Pointe Blvd S
No one had to be evacuated from the industrial area
Firefighters said when hazmat team members entered the building
they determined the alarm that had sounded was an over-pressure alarm and the system had shut itself down as a safety measure
and streets were reopened so people who work in the area could get to their jobs
I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $27 thousand a month by working on the web
— A section of State Route 525 in Mukilteo reopened Monday afternoon after closing for hours so crews could work to put out a structure fire
The Washington State Department of Transportation tweeted about theroad closure near SR 525 and 76th Street Southwestat 10:20 a.m
Crews initially closed the southbound lanes before closing all northbound lanes as well
The backup was “about one mile and growing” at 11 a.m
The WSDOT said all northbound lanes reopened just before 1 p.m. and southbound traffic was getting by using the center turn lane. All lanes reopened to traffic around 2:10 p.m
Mukilteo Fire Chief Glen Albright told KOMO News crews were dispatched to the 7600 block of Mukilteo Speedway for a report of a structure fire at 4:35 a.m
Albright said crews found a fire on the backside of the home that spread into the main and upper floors
Crews put the fire out and turned the scene over to the “property rep,” Albright said
Firefighters returned to the home a second time around 10 a.m
after a passerby noticed smoke and flames coming from the building
Albright said the second fire likely started due to smoldering embers within a mechanical shaft that spread into the attic
Albright described the second fire as an “extensive attic fire.” No firefighters were injured and no residents were home when the fire started
and Paine Field Fire responded to the scene
The cause of the fire is under investigation
But–as always–politicians go in one direction
Never asking if every budget line item is a NEED or WANT
Hope your house doesn’t catch fire when the fire department is shut down to save money
