The county took ownership of the hotel 11 days ago after purchasing it for about $9 million with American Rescue Act funds.
An Edmonds hotel purchased by Snohomish County for a future housing facility for those experiencing homelessness is being cleaned due to meth contamination.
Snohomish County Executive Director Ken Klein said the contamination happened when the hotel was still under its previous ownership. Because of this, the previous owner will pay the cost of the cleanup.The county found the contamination during routine testing that happened as part of the purchase process.
He said it is unclear whether the people who contaminated the rooms were paying guests at the hotel, people who had been staying there with housing vouchers, or both. All along, the county had planned on the hotel closing during the transfer of ownership, as the building is transformed into a “bridge” housing facility. This facility will include rehabilitation services, on-site security, and rules against drug use. The county originally planned to open this facility in the spring of next year, and Klein said it is still on track to do that.
