Community meets to discuss fallout of Oso slide BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
SMOKEY POINT — Snohomish County and Washington State Department of Transportation officials answered questions and responded to the concerns of citizens during a Wednesday, April 16, community meeting on how their agencies plan to deal with the wake of the Oso mudslide.
