First public notification Snohomish County's Department of Parks intends to build a "regional sports complex" on Wellington Hills Park property. This would be accomplished by using Brightwater mitigation funds from King County. Plans for the "regional sports complex" had been in development for many years, "under the radar".

First public notification Snohomish County was selling Wellington Hills Park.
Additionally, it was the first public notification Snohomish County was selling Wellington Hills Park to the Northshore School District.
Based on inspection of public records, a drawing of what the School District planned for Wellington Hills Park was discovered. Drawing is dated July 15, 2015 so the actual date of the secret agreement to develop the park was at some earlier date.
Call it a concept drawing but it does reveal Northshore School District's intentions...
• The park that people have been enjoying will be clear-cut then bulldozed flat.
• After the terra-forming - one high school, one middle school.
... on the drawing are the words "cut" and "fill"... which refer removing existing ground and to filling in valleys in the existing topography.
