EVERETT — Snohomish County will take at least two more weeks before deciding whether to make emergency changes in how

known landslide hazards. The move came after Deputy County Executive Mark Ericks asked for time to review temporary measures that council staff have been developing, which would increase building setbacks and engineering studies in potential landslide hazard areas. “Let’s be deliberative and careful,” County Council member Brian Sullivan said.

Council Chairman Dave Somers started the discussion April 23, when he asked the council to consider a temporary home-building ban within a half mile of slide areas. The council took no action last week. Somers on Monday said that after seeing a map of the proposed half-mile moratorium, the measure would have been overly broad. Most of the

unincorporated areas of the county would have been off limits to new building while notoriously flood-prone river valleys would have been unaffected. Somers urged the council to consider an amended proposal for temporary development controls designed to make building near landslide hazard areas more safe. See COUNTY, Page A2

Salmon, tribal rights leader Nisqually Tribe member, fishing activist Billy Frank Jr. dies at 83 Herald Writers

Billy Frank Jr., a pony-tailed tribal fisherman who led the fight to restore fishing rights for American Indians four decades ago and never stopped battling to preserve them, died Monday. He was 83. The cause of his death was not immediately known. A seminal political figure

of the last half-century, Frank helped transform the relationship between the state and sovereign tribes from one rooted in confrontation to one built with collaboration. “Billy Frank was a legend among men,” said U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. “Today, America lost a civil rights leader whose impact will be felt for generations to come.” His unyielding resolve on

Telling the truth of fishing rights became a hallmark early on for Frank, who was a member of the Nisqually Tribe near Olympia. Frank was first arrested for salmon fishing as a 14-year-old in 1945.

EVERETT — A Lynnwood man was sentenced Monday to more than three years in prison after being convicted of tying up and shooting his 4-year-old stepdaughter with an AirSoft gun. A jury found Stetson Tedder, 27, guilty of second-degree domestic violence assault of a child and unlawful imprisonment. It did not find Stetson Tedder that he committed the crimes with “deliberate cruelty,” a legal consideration that could have increased his sentence. Tedder was charged with hogtying the girl with plastic zip ties and duct tape and shooting her with a toy gun that fires plastic BBs. The girl was covered in dozens of welts, court papers said. She also had scars on her wrists and ankles, which medical experts believed came from being bound with ligatures. Police found zip ties, including one in a garbage bag in the child’s room, which “appeared to have numerous teeth marks that suggested the restraint had been chewed,” prosecutors wrote.
