PURPOSE: Approval of a real estate purchase and sale agreement between Sharla Ann Spoelstra as seller and Snohomish County as buyer for seller’s interest in real property located west of Home Acres Road and east/south of Ebey Slough in unincorporated Snohomish County, identified by Assessor’s Tax Parcel No. 28050300200600
BACKGROUND: Snohomish County owns or has a flood easement on approximately 360 acres of land within an area historically known as former Drainage District 6, aka DD6/Chinook Marsh Restoration Project, for the purpose of: i. restoration work, ii. providing more open space, and iii. to reduce flood risk in the area. Surface Water Management is the custodial department of this land. County Council passed amended Ordinance No. 21-094, related to the 2021 budget, making a supplemental appropriation, on November 3, 2021 whereby Surface Water Management Fund 415 received funding allocated by this appropriation. Certain real property has been identified for acquisition within the area of Ebey Slough that is important to the design and development of the restoration project. The purchase of the property would be funded through said appropriation. Grace K. Christianson inherited real property located west of Home Acres Road and east/south of Ebey Slough in unincorporated Snohomish County within the restoration project area, identified as Assessor’s Parcel No. 28050300200600 and containing approximately 1.91 acres of land. Chicago Title Company issued an ALTA Commitment for Title Insurance, Commitment No., 500129853a, Amendment 1, identifying Grace K. Kelly as the vested owner in the Property. The Snohomish County Assessor records list John Spoelstra as the owner of the property on the secured tax rolls. In order to clear title Sharla Ann Spoelstra has agreed to release any right, title and interest the Spoelstra’s may have in the property for Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) by quitclaim deed. Sharla Ann Spoelstra is willing to sell her right, title, and interest in the property to the County in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the sale of her interest in the property is strictly voluntary. The transfer of the interest in the property to the County will be by quitclaim deed.
