EVERETT — Snohomish County Executive John Lovick will deliver the opening address later this month at a conference to help local governments with growth and transportation issues.

The Snohomish County Tomorrow assembly is scheduled 5 to 8 p.m. Sept. 25 in the public meeting room of the county’s Bob Drewel Building, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett.

A panel is scheduled to discuss developing the Eastside Rail Corridor between Snohomish and Woodinville. The county is negotiating to buy the stretch of rail line from the Port of Seattle. Plans call for a recreation trail, tourist trains and commuter rail. Speakers include Snohomish Mayor Karen Guzak, county executive director Peter Camp, and Cascadia Center director Bruce Agnew.

Snohomish County Tomorrow is a regional countywide planning effort joining representatives of local government, the Tulalip Tribes and others.
