way known as 73rd Avenue West north of 156th Street Southwest, in Edmonds, Washington,
legally described on the attached Exhibit A, incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth
in full, is surplus to the needs of the City as street right -of -way and shall be vacated. This
finding of vacation is based upon facts presented at the public hearing before the Edmonds City
Council on March 17, 1998. Due to the public benefit to be derived, the abutting property
owners are not required to make payment to the City for vacation of the right -of -way.
Section 2. The City Clerk is hereby directed to file a copy of this ordinance in
the land records of Snohomish County.
