Hello Everyone! 

Finally obtained my survey on a nice little lot right off of HWY 2 in Sultan, WA probably a few hundred yards from the infamous Eagle Rock Falls.  My property is right off the Skykomish River, If you live in Snohomish County or the surrounding area you know this location perfectly. Every summer something happens or you notice the biggest line of traffic because of cars parked right off of the HWY. 

Well two things here I am looking for a  seasoned builder in this are and understands how the county works for permitting. I am trying to obtain access right off of HWY 2 since I am  unfotamunely currently land locked. The property already has as septic on site and my survey is all recorded. I'd like to start the process within 6-10 months but given the current obstacles that might not be dead set which is okay. This is my first home building experience and I just want it done right. Not looking for the cheapest but I don't want it to be a cheap build. This home will be my seed for future investing and I'd like it done right. Neighbors are currently making a killing on their lots! 

If you have any recommendations or leads I'd love to hear them. 

Thanks

That's a nice area! We're doing a new build in Baring - hate to be a downer, but good luck man its a tough road ahead. Permits are going slowly, finding a competent builder up there is going to be tough, and the project will take a long time. Its an extraordinary tough location to build in, especially if you're riverfront. I'm sure the end product will be incredible though in that location!

     Would be great if I had something already built however I am very thankful for what it is now.  Playing catch up for sure.

    Wanted to follow up with everyone I'm pretty sure my ducks are aligning this Bolt Creek fire is not helping but I spoke to the state and obtained the process to start my driveway project come spring 2023. I already have a framer on hand and a couple of GC that will be helping but the first thing is access + the current septic system will need to be addressed. however time and money as always.

    Hey @Timoteo Guy, how'd your project turn out? What framer did you use? I've got a project in Skykomish and am starting to look for subs.
