Controversial Eastview Village development flooded Greenleaf neighborhood
SNOHOMISH — Mike Putt was flying back from a vacation in Montana when he got a text on Oct. 12 from his neighbor saying their street was flooding. The first real rains of fall had hit the area that weekend, but the muddy water cascading down 79th Avenue was unprecedented to the residents, some of whom had lived there for decades.
The water came from under a chain link fence at the top of the gently sloped residential street, the divider between the Greenleaf HOA neighborhood and Pacific Ridge Homes’ 144-acre development site for a project named Eastview Village.
Pacific Ridge, owned by the country’s largest homebuilding company, D.R. Horton, plans to build 1,311 residential units — a mix of houses and apartments — plus 61,000 square feet of commercial space on the property.
“Everybody from D.R. Horton and the county has been out here, but nobody will tell us what’s the plan to stabilize all this and to make sure this just doesn’t turn into a repeat,” Putt said on Oct. 16, standing in his driveway while looking up at the Eastview Village site.
