LYNNWOOD, Wash. — The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and Snohomish County Public Works worked together to clear 11.71 tons of garbage and three derelict RVs from a block in Lynnwood on Thursday.
Deputies said the RVs had increased crime in the 13600 block of 26th Place West, located just west of Lake Stickney Park, and "decreased the quality of life for neighboring residents."
