Cath Cart East view Village Development 8/10/26
The other day I went to pick blackberries near the baseball fields at Glacier Peak’s High School. I was baffled by H.R. Horton’s new development in Cathcart. Consisting of 144 acres, 1300 new residential units and commercial space are expected to be built.
The area used to be connected with Snohomish Public Utility District Number 2. The hidden trail was full of wildlife. Furthermore connecting with a paved road (pavement markings scattered) with light poles, and even a landfill. It felt apocalyptic, but also surreal. (Picture shown below).
I am saddened because I used to go on many walks with my border collie. It was a perfect little oasis. Quiet and beautiful for getting away from everything.
I wanna start this thread to document it, but also to hear what other people think about this and how it will affect neighborhoods, traffic, and especially Glacier Peak HS and the little Cedars elementary school. Also if anyone else found this little what used to be ambient trail.
