Agricultural Advisory Board

The Agricultural Advisory Board, informally referred to as the "Ag Board," serves as an advisory body to the County Executive, County Council, Planning Commission, and Hearing Examiner on the County Comprehensive Plan, agriculture regulation and other agricultural policy matters. The Board, whose members are nominated by the County Executive and appointed by the County Council, is comprised of individuals who are directly engaged in commercial agriculture or represent the diking, drainage and flood control districts in the Snohomish and Stillaguamish basins.

For further information about the Board's activities, please contact Celia Garr, 425-388-3311, ext. 2490, Snohomish County Department of Planning and Development Services.
