"LAKE ROESIGER -- Forestland where a developer once envisioned thousands of homes and an 18-hole golf course could become one of the area's largest regional parks.
Snohomish County and the state Department of Natural Resources are looking to buy nearly 3,000 acres. The land west of Lake Roesiger is where developer Dave Barnett sought to build a planned development called Falcon Ridge, until the county changed zoning rules nearly two years ago.
Now the state and the county are considering a proposal under which most of that area would be managed as state timberlands. The county would own smaller pieces for parking and camping. People would be able to access the state lands for recreation except during timber harvests every few decades. The harvests would benefit local governments."
