County pitches 640-acre shooting range near Sultan to skeptical neighbors
SULTAN — At Spada Lake, the signs are riddled with bullet holes: “No Shooting.”
Illegal shooting has been a problem all around the Skykomish River valley for decades, residents say.
Snohomish County Parks is proposing a potential solution: a 640-acre rifle, pistol and archery range along Sultan Basin Road, a few miles outside of town, roughly north of Kellogg Lake.
Judging by the first public meeting about the proposal Thursday evening near Sultan, it might be a tough sell to immediate neighbors. They already hear distant gunfire often. They’re worried they’ll hear much more now, and much closer.

I fear there'll still be some dumbasses who are too cheap to pay to user a safer shooting range.
