Talk:Lake Stevens, Washington

Removal of annexation section
Annexation section has been removed because (1) it was poorly sourced to a dead link, and more significantly (2) because it significantly violates official USCB estimates (see here), which are supposed to be used rather than local estimates. Nyttend (talk) 00:23, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Improving Reference List
Could this article expand on the variety/improve reliability of resources used to cite information? Many sources aren't current or have dead links, while the historical information has no references to cite back to. HunterDearden (talk) 09:29, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Removed section: Annexation and urban growth area
Since 2005, the population of the City of Lake Stevens has nearly quadrupled from 7,400 to 28,069 currently. This has been primarily due to an effort called "One Community Around the Lake" to bring the unincorporated areas within the Urban Growth Area into the city limits. The table shown below details these efforts:

Additionally, two small annexations have taken place during this time. The Fire District Annexation, the 1.02 acre Station 82 property on the southwest corner of Chapel Hill Road and 99th Ave NE, occurred in October 2007 (Ordinance 745), and the Corniche Annexation, the 2.91 acre commercially zoned vacant parcel on the southwest corner of Market Place and 91st Ave NE, occurred in March 2008 (Ordinance 768). Neither increased the city's population.
