Is anyone home?
You have got to be kidding me! Is this the best we can expect? Our business is loosing money day after day with all this snow. Where are our leaders and why aren't they paying attention to us?

I have called city hall a dozen times in the past two weeks and there is still no response to our crys to plow the snow away. How can anyone do business in this town if our customers can't get to the door.

The Snohomish City Council better address the inadequate response of their public works department. We are not the only business that will asking these questions.

How is it the private businesses were able to clear their parking and the city could only clear their own parking. I didn't see any tractors clearing snow from anywhere but city hall and trucks just driving around. This is crap!
