Three Things You Can Do

3. Share safe174th.com

Send the link to neighbors, friends considering buying in the area, or anyone who asks "what's the problem?" One link, all the facts.

What to Say

Keep it short. Be factual. Be firm. Here are the key points:

When contacting officials, mention these points:
  • 322 homes have been approved on NE 174th Street — a road originally built for 20 homes, with no sidewalks, no shoulders, and no secondary emergency access.
  • The county's own code (CCC 40.350.030(B)(6)(a)) allows denial of development when off-site road conditions create a significant safety hazard. The county has the authority to act — it is choosing not to.
  • Ask #1: Commission an independent traffic safety assessment before approving any additional development.
  • Ask #2: Preserve the Mill Creek Overlay District and its protections. Do not weaken it through the Comprehensive Plan update.
  • Reference the site: "Full documentation is available at safe174th.com"
