The Snohomish County Council will consider an emergency moratorium on development in areas at risk of landslides.
Dave Somers, president of the council, said he’ll propose a vote on the six-month ban at a council meeting Wednesday.
Somers, who was in Arlington Tuesday during President Obama’s visit to the site of the March 22 mudslide, said the moratorium would apply to new construction throughout the county within a half-mile of landslide hazard areas mapped by the county.
