April 28th, 2004 | Published in Local Data
Lukas Velush and Scott North of the Everett Daily Herald analyzed county records to find that “Turn-off notices in Snohomish County are concentrated in neighborhoods where residents have the lowest incomes.” Disconnections have soared since utility rates increased in 2001, including more than 15,000 in 2002. The Snohomish Utility District has some of the highest electricity rates in Washington state.
